Editor replacement for Ableton

[Antinet]

I love SD3, but I’m having the worst time doing precise edits in Ableton’s awful midi editor. Their velocity controls are laughable. I know I can put midi files inside of SD3, and will, but in the meantime, I’m wondering if I should just dump out of Ableton, go to Logic, or maybe to Cubase, which won’t be a cheap change, but will be worth it if I can finally work unencumbered.

Anyone know a VST that actually does more than just sequence, that actually lets you play out 7 minutes, and lays it out properly, and creates a happy edit environment (the one Ableton does not have)?

I am really happy with the MIDI editing in Logic Pro X, they have lots of smart features. I do most of the drum editing directly in the grid editor in SD3, but for other instruments Logic does it well. Most DAW:s has their pros/cons, and one of the cons in Logic is that they have some issues regarding automation and the timing of it.

Thanks. I’m hoping there is a vst to replace ableton’s piano roll. I’m fine with their DAW otherwise, but this is a major nightmare. I bought Fruity Loops because it has a much better midi editor. I have yet to really test it with SD3, but we will find out.
