More OS ideas

2002-10-31 by erik_magrini@Baxter.com

More stuff I thought of:

- A way to specify what the note lengths will be in grid mode.  They are 
far too short IMO, a lot of the good drums sounds never get to play their 
full length. If I shift duration of my drum track notes after the fact, 
they sound ten times more full and natural.

- Speaking of shifting duration, I wish they'd up the ppq resolution to 
480 too.  Two reasons, one is that SX is set at 480, and fine editing done 
there doesn't always work when you retransfer midi files back into the 
XL-7.  Granted this doesn't affect everyone obviously, but SX is one the 
two biggies on the PC side now. The second reason is that it's so much 
easier to think of note divisions when you're dealing with 480, since it's 
easily devisable in your head.  384 is a pain to think through when it 
comes to guessing what a 16th or 32nd is, especially after too many beers. 
 Do it for us drinkers! :)
