I want to use the midi editor. I really do. There are lots of little features that were specifically included to make programming drums easier. And those features work well. And I’m glad to see that there are more humanization options in ezd3, similar to what is available in sd3.
And so.. maybe someone can offer some suggestions. I don’t think there’s a way to “fix” the issue that I have, because technically, everything is working as intended. I don’t understand how every component of the midi editor can be so stellar, except for what is probably the most basic component that you find in every midi editor that I know of. I am talking about the transport controls. What a nightmare. Not only are they awful, they are the absolute worst compared to anything else that exists. Obviously, I haven’t tried everything else that exists, but it would be incredibly challenging to design a software that has transport controls more ridiculous than this.
As I mentioned, everything else about the midi editor is ideal. I can’t think of anything else I would change. It’s not just me. There was a thread on reddit and over a dozen users have the same experience. And the sad part is that this one component is so important. Because it is so bad, the midi editor becomes completely impractical. So no one uses it. It’s a real shame, since I can tell a lot of work went into making this editor exceptional. All I am saying is that this is really simple: if the transport controls in the midi editor worked just like the transport controls in most DAWs, then there would be nothing to complain about. But as of now, I can’t even get the playhead to start where I want it to start. Why cant I just click anywhere on the timeline, push play on my midi transport controller, and have the playback start at the same place where I JUST PUT THE PLAYHEAD. This makes no sense. I’ve been using the software for 3 years, and I still don’t understand these terrible transport controls.
