Superior Drummer Tracker feature requests

The Superior Drummer 3 Tracker is a fantastic tool but could use a few improvements to make editing more efficient. These all apply to standalone mode, as that’s my main workflow at the moment.

1. Additional options in ‘select’ menu: ‘Select by velocity…’. A new box has options that will let you select all notes below a value, over a value. This will be very useful for creating a map only for snare ghost notes. It’s not precise enough to select by dragging the selection when zoomed out to see the whole track.
2. Playhead follows playback toggle. Just like the Pro Tools ‘n’ shortcut’. IWhen listening to my edits, I would catch a mistrigger and instinctively hit space bar to stop playback and take care of it. Unfortunately, this takes me back to where the playhead was originally at, so I have no idea where that missing note is if I wasn’t keeping my eye on the bar timeline
3. Turn off auto scrolling in the trigger editor
4. Zoom tool. Select a specific area and zoom into it. Much less tedious than having to drag the zoom brackets at the bottom
5. Lower priority, but a pre-roll value would be nice in the standalone version. Helpful when you are focusing on edits and want to hear some context without having to scroll around
6. The select similar knob could use a toggle to only select new notes after the playhead location. If I am editing notes and everything has been fine but then I come across a note that is not getting triggered, I want to select it, select similar and know that whatever work I have done up to this point not get affected. Otherwise, this adds another step to my work to verify I did not trigger anything I shouldn’t have.
7. It looks like it’s not a general issue but UI performance is making it difficult to work on my 2013 Mac Pro. Already created ticket 89300 but haven’t heard back yet.
