grid edit - disconnect zoom from TC

ok. we now have really nice control over swing and visuals with the whole < and > thing the jj has in 8 err 6 pad grid edit.

however, we often don't want to record with a time correct on. we want to record w/ off.

however, when we do that, we lose visuals completely since the resolution skyrockets to 96 ppq.

what i want to see is a ZOOM control that is not linked to the current TC resolution, but works on the same increments.

this way, you'd be able to view the grid in 1/8th notes, but be recording in OFF tempo. or any combination.

this would be MUCH better for groove and editing. you could truly leave TC off all the time.

Ill just like to add this is a great idea. Until I heard this message I thought this was already possible. A few people have mention when recording with tc off you can see the the actual events on there ticks. I wasnt sure if it always looks quantized but now I do

personnaly i love that function, it allows me to work in really little grid resolution.
i love to work in the grid edit with the tc off...

you'd still be able to - zoom and tc would both be selectable.

you could just as easily set zoom to OFF and tc to OFF and there you go.

meanwhle, i'm dying to be able to see everythin while recording in off tc.

Good idea Nym. This the only thing holdin me back wit **** wit grid extra hard since i prefer to work wit TC off.

yeap same here ppl, someone have to send this suggestion before its too late. He's already got too much on his hands. Lets see if it can be squeezed to be done by early next year...

i would prefer jj works on other fonctionalities :
>>>q-link in grid edit
>>>track mixer
>>>rework direct recording (to have something more intuitive like the kaoss pad for example)
>>>midi track in grid
>>>simult sequence
>>>effects automation(like the machine drum or like the sfx60) would be great

but i really dream about a full midi implementation to add controller to my mpc which is one of my favourite in my setup because of this os.

I agree with Nym... that is the only thing keeping me from recording in grid mode. Right now, I only use grid for editing.

thats what I'm saying. Itll be much easier to shift the note events to loops that arent on beat. This is what I use to do on acid. Production could be much easier this way than clickin on each event and adding the event step info for each pad and note.

i'd leave tc off 100% of the time....such a huge power over the groove of the song this way.

bizzzla - i used to work on acid and it's funny - all my stuff was always 100% quantised cuz i didn't understand why/how important it was to make things off.
