Pianoroll of Radium is nice !

Post by elode »

As I cannot yet work with Radium in the 'tracker' way because of a bug with the keyboard, I am exploring the pianoroll. I am surprised to find something very rare in pianoroll-type sequencers: the possibility of recording glissando notes graphically, directly in the form of diagonal notes.

I like it a lot. It’s a bit similar to the way bitwig deals with glissando, but above all with beepbox https://www.beepbox.co , which is a tool for producing music that is brilliantly simple to use, which seams to go a little further by allowing possibly very long notes with multiple contiguous segments diagonally or straight. In Radium, I didn’t find how to go beyond two related notes. The third note started with its initial attack.

But maybe there is a way... right?

Here is a screenshot of BeepBox :

Oh! I hadn’t noticed this column (see the image). It allows successive glissandos on the same note. Magnificent!

I hadn’t seen this option in the manual.

Yeah, editing pitch in the note-text column is probably the fastest way to add several glissandos, and you're right, I've forgotten to add this feature to the manual! In case you didn't find out (and only used the mouse to add glissando inside the note-text subtrack), the keybinding to add/edit note/pitch is

Code: Select all

left alt + return
.

But you can do it inside the piano roll as well! Right-click a piano-note and select "add node at mouse position". Maybe this interface (naming/position/etc.) can be improved?
