Note Restriction Sliders in the Piano Roll

I would find this very useful,

Users could select what functions are restricted, one, some or all.

  • Note playback (ie mute)
  • Note Velocity/PerNoteCC/Function Editing (Play Probability, etc). Only non-restricted notes can have velocity edited for example.
  • Logical Editor targeting
  • CC Ranges based on notes inside/outside of restriction
  • Other and future integrated Cubase functions that affect PianoRoll/Notes/MIDI Events
  • Piano Roll visibility (adjusted zoom focus)
  • Per note CC Visibility (example, only velocity lines are seen for non-restricted notes)
  • Adjusted Zoom/Auto Vertical View position(when opening parts)

I think it would be best if the Restriction Slider was stored per MIDI Part, ie, it allows it to become not just an editing/listening aide, but an actual editing/creative tool.

There are many use cases:

  • Editing/Listening aide: Temporarily muting note ranges while working on others, without having to mute notes (there could be a bypass hotkey for the restriction filter)
  • Editing aide: Focusing Logical Editor executions to a range of notes, without always having to reselect them and or change the scripted range parameters of the LE preset.
  • Editing Aide: Zoom adjusted focus
  • Instrumentation Arrangement adjustment

There should be two types of 1-8 user presets for this:

  • Presets for the selectable options (ie, a user can combine Logical Editor Targeting and CC Visibility as preset 1)
  • Presets for the range of the Restriction bracket (ie, users can have presets for common instrument arrangement note ranges)

This would allow users to quickly manipulate combinations of needs.

It might even be worth it to have a, or number, of temporary memory presets (stored with project) that would stores both Options and Restriction Range together. ie, Store Mem Preset 1, Store Mem Preset 2, recall Mem Preset 1, etc.

As, users might be using customized combinations that aren’t part of their presets that are needed for the particular project/task at hand that need to be re-used/re-created in other MIDI Parts.
