Genome Work Log

Been quietly plugging away on the Piano roll / Parameter Automation portion of Genome. Note patterns are pretty far along - you can input notes, drag, tweak length, transpose, copy, cut, paste, etc. One nice thing is full keyboard control - something sorely lacking in a lot of big name studio software. Keyboard and mouse commands are 100% the same. Bi-manual editing is much faster than mouse only. Also, no toolbars are needed for editing notes. There is no 'eraser mode', 'selection mode' or 'note mode' - having to switch modes only slows you down. A simple grid-based cursor system is very intuitive and gives you all you need without having to juggle different editing modes.

Working on the automation half of the interface next, and I'll be looking to keep it just as simple and intuitive.
