Yea no. With MIDI, not the grid editor – I edit MIDI streams and don’t use individual instrument note editors, the learning curves are too steep for all of them (I use a bunch). That’s why I need a keyswitch (like other instruments have) to control the string for the next note. Cleared that right up.
But I can’t force the software to do that, and by choice it likes the middle range of the bass frets. So thanks but your continued responses don’t help at all – if you have something helpful to add (like how you force it to do a long slide from high up the neck) then please let me know, otherwise my request is valid and meaningful.
And it doesn’t sound like a long slide. So I stand by what I posted – string selection to be able to force slides is important. I can see when its sliding and its instead selecting the wrong string and not sliding, and it sounds like it too. So thanks Jordan but we need to agree to disagree (and thanks cschormann for adding in).
It is a real issue – you can’t force it to do a full neck length slide, or even a half length slide – so it is a real issue. You can only get short 2-5 fret slides.
The value for this feature is in slides – if you can’t force the program to use the same string for both notes then sliding is not very useful, a lot of the best slides are from high up the neck to low down the neck and the ‘automatic’ selection algorithm won’t do this.
