To edit individual tracks, I like scrubbing in the Event List. That's the quickest way for me to find and change sour notes, and with my keyboard playing there are a lot of 'em.

I use the wiper/scrub to find locations, too. The scrub tool alone wouldn't do that and then leave me with a cut/paste destination like the wiper tool does. Other than that, I like the idea of a scrub tool for MIDI.

By all means there are times when I would shut it off! In fact, any time that I'm not specifically scrubbing, I'd just as soon leave it off.

I totally agree that having the option to shut off MIDI while scrubbing is essential. However, it would also be useful if it were accessible as a button on the sequence editor page, rather than having to open preferences and search through them to find it.
Many times I'm going back and forth working with both MIDI (yes, at times scrubbing MIDI) and audio at the same time. It would be more convenient to have a readily accessible button to toggle between MIDI scrubbing and not.

+1. I'm a sour-note-producing Event list junkie myself.

I learned the world of DAWs when the Event List was all there was. I'm so much faster in the Graphic Editors now that I'll never go back to event lists except for very specific occasions. Besides, I have way too much continuous data for event list editing. Oh well... what's interesting is seeing how differently we all work, and yet DP is there for all of us.

I think "scrubbing" may not be the right term. "Shuttling" seems like the right term. So...

What is really needed is *one* control to enable/disable triggering ANYTHING while shuttling (wiper, rewind/fast forward). I don't want to disable ANY of the other elements of Audible mode.

So you could have Audible and Audible Shuttle mode. There would still be only one button. Audible only would look like it does now, then maybe option clicking it will add a wiper icon next to the speaker.

Audible mode button.........

Audible Shuttle mode button....

LoL - Exactly! Back in the pre DP - MIDI performer only days I was doing these massive 100+ track MIDI orchestrations and sometimes monitored loudly. When they first added the scrub feature I opened a song and after questioning a part I grabbed the cursor and drug back a couple of measures and BOOM! - it was WW3 (LOUD!!!!). A bunch of my old MIDI gear really freaked and I had stuck notes galore. Since I had been working this way daily for YEARS it was very hard to break the habit of grabbing that cursor and back dragging.

I wasn't online back then and my cries were lonesome complaints. I love that we can post this stuff now.

Long live the nation!!!!

Check the first post. Anyone think this is a good solution?

Yes, I like the new idea very much--the first one listed. As long as there's a key command to go along with it, I'm there.

Yes, yes, and yes!

Yes, perfect solution. Audio mode on (without scrubbing) - secondary mode with scrubbing (and with a single key command toggle).

So mister magic, when can we expect this?

Oh how I wish I were a coder and knew how to affect that kind of alteration...but sadly I'm not. Manipulating graphics, xml numbers, and text strings is one thing. What would need to be done is beyond my current abilities. That's part of DP's engine code, and I am nowhere near qualified to dig in that. That's pushing the envelope a bit as far as what MOTU turns a blind eye to, as well.
