From me.
Please. I know it’s a major pain to implement as the bloody thing is basically everywhere, but it’s a proper thing to have.
Another random one.
Say I have a project running at tempo 60 (one quarter note per second). I have the click giving out one “tick” per second as well.
Now, I want to change to 12/8. What I thought should happen is that the quarter notes would still be one per second, but there would now be three eighth notes per quarter instead of two, for a total of twelve in a bar. So the eighth notes would go by more quickly, because 12 now had to fit in the space where there were 8 previously. But the quarters will go by a…
The last one is from the time we didn’t have metronome click patterns, but even now that we have them, the metronome number still refers to quarters, not the actual beat value.
Please implement the facility to set the beat value ourselves, and to make grid be configurable for odd meters and compound time signatures.
As it stands if the sig is 11/16 the grid will be quarter, quarter dotted 8th, but the groove might not flow like that, and if I want to group it, say, 4, 3, 4, I am out of luck. Cubase just puts the grid lines at quarters and then truncates the measure. 11/16 yields 2 quarter notes and a dotted 8th; 12/16, 3 quarters; and 13/16 3 quarters plus a 16th no…
I think protools has it.
