It would be great if you listed version and build, system specs and any info that could help to repro your issues. Not seeing those here. For example, track duplication copies over color, name and volume.

Are those at the sides some kind of Daleks?

I recently was having noise problems with my computer, and changing my wireless mouse and keyboard for others cabled made a great deal of a difference. A Behringer HD400 hum destroyer box between the returns of my Tascam interface to the mixer made the rest.

No, project templates can only be used to start a new project; they can't be applied after the fact in any way. But copying the tracks over to to the new project started from template should be as easy as opening both projects' track windows side by side, and dragging tracks/clips to the new project.

But he can actually have a mixing Track template with all the tracks and busses ready with plugins and insert it in the project, and then drag the clips to those tracks.  

The only difference between the  Kontakt plugins is the number of audio outputs. You can see which is each in the Plugin Manager and rename them so it is less confusing. 

Keyboard bindings are now in the Preferences menu.

Don't know why this guy just want to use the Keyboard, to edit you have to use the mouse, so why? Doesn't matter!

You actually can do a lot of editing with the keyboard. I use the Numeric Pad pretty much for moving notes around, and sometimes having to move your right hand from the keyboard to the mouse feels a bit awkward.  Of course it is not that much of a problem, I only asked because I thought that there should be a simple keyboard shortcut that I was missing. It seems that there is not, so I'll have to keep on using the mouse to change focus, hoping that a keyboard action gets implemented in a future update.

Yes, I mean CTL + mousewheel for horizontal scrolling, or just mousewheel for vertical scrolling. Just noticed that CTL + left/right arrows (horizontal zoom) doesn't work by just moving the cursor. You need to click to change the focus. As you say, left/right arrows scroll the PRV but not the TV at all (be nice if this worked), and CTL + Page up/down requires a click to change focus but does work in both TV and PRV. This all seems a little inconsistent.

 

Yes, that is basically my point. I think that the default keyboard shortcuts really need an overhaul and proper documentation.

Strange - scrolling actually works for me. Top half of screen is TV, bottom half is docked PRV. Simply moving the mouse cursor from one to the other (no clicking) allows me to scroll in the window containing the cursor. It also works going from the Track part of the TV to the Bus Pane.

Edited: OK, I do see a problem, but it's tangled up with another problem. Shift-ESC clears the selection. If the TV has the focus, this works. But if the PRV has the focus (by clicking in it), then Shift-ESC doesn't work, which I reported as a bug in the Early Access thread. Moving the mouse cursor doesn't change anything for this operation. So maybe there are other actions that require clicking to give definite focus to the TV or PRV. But scrolling does seem to work without clicking.

Yes, the problem is shifting focus to edit using just the keyboard. Now that you mention this, how do you scroll the TV without clicking? The only shortcuts I find and use are CTL+Page up/down, but this moves the Now Time, too, not like the Left/Right arrows that scroll the PRV leaving the Now Time where it is. Or you mean using CTL + mousewheel?

Point taken. I still think there' s a better one key solution..somewhere 

I was about to find it in Preferences-Keyboard Shortcuts but the ' Locate Key ' function doesn't help because ESC closes the dialog box even when shifted

My vote would be move it to the opposite side then and use NUM SUB ( minus key ) ..seems to be unassigned by default

 

The Numeric Pad number 5 (with the numeric pad unlocked) already unselects all. This is what I tend to use while editing in the PRV, even though I use the numeric pad (locked) for nudging notes up and down and I need to unlock it to use it to clear selection.

I appreaciate you have added SHIFT+ESC to clear selection

It's not a very easy key combo though IMHO ,  quite a stretch and I can't do it without looking at the keyboard- what was wrong with just using ESC on it's own ? It seems intuitive and can be found without looking . 

Speaking of which, it does not work in the PRV either here.

Press Alt + 2 (open console) and then Alt + 3 (open PRV)
It seems changing focus from track view to PRV.

Well, maybe I am not explaining myself too well. I already have the PRV open and docked. Docker at the bottom half of the screen. I am looking for a shortcut  to shift focus from the bottom half (PRV in the docker) to the Clips pane in Track View and back. If the PRV is already open, and focus is in the Track View,  Alt + 3 does not shift focus to the PRV.  The only way to do it that I see is clicking with the mouse.

are you sure it should be ALT-z and not CTRL-z? CTRL-z is the windows standard for undo

I meant Undo Zoom (ALT-Z)

Thanks a lot for your replies, but I already know and use those. My question is about changing focus from one to the other. Like focus is in Track view and I want to change focus to the docked PRV (with the dock open) and back without having to click with the mouse.

I believe this must be obvious, but I can not find a shortcut to jump from Track view to the PRV open in the Docker and back.🤔

I feel like we need more info on keyboard shortcuts, especially when some of them are changing with new updates. The manual is very much incomplete on this, and not all the shortcuts available by default are listed there. The Key Bindings dialogue in the Preferences menu is awkward, and shows that some functions have multiple key bindings, even though some are as obscure as "Enable/Disable GUI Throttle mode"., which if enabled by accident could cause much confusion and annoyance.

 I think that an updated, comprehensive list of existing shortcuts should be in the manual.  And maybe a way of exporting a text file with the Preferences Key bindings.

Not sure if this was broken before: ALT +Z is not working in the PRV. You can use the Zoom tool (Z), but you can not undo with ALT +Z. 

You can actually do that. Click the folder to select it, and it will select all tracks within it. Then just CTL+click the output of any selected track and change it to the bus you want. All tracks  will change outputs to that bus.

What badge? The only badge (a little shield with blue and yellow quadrants) that I see is the one that marks the programs that are set to be run as administrator. 32 bit programs show no special mark here.

The events are colored by type. I find this a convenient way to see at a glance what is in a track.  Notes are black, aftertouch events are red, and so on. If all were the same color, you would need to filter them out always. I use the Event list, either to insert a single CC or sysex event, or to troubleshoot the behaviour of a synth that might be receiving an unintended message. About selection, they already appear selected. All events selected in other views appear selected in Event List.

Have you tried enabling "Use Current Snap Settings on Duplicate Selected Clip(s)" within Preferences under Customization->Editing and setting your main snap setting to a whole note?

I WAS missing something 😀 Yes, that does it.  I had tried setting the snap to measures, but I missed that. Thanks a lot!

Unless I am missing something, while CTL + D seems to work as announced with clips in track view, it does not really help much in the PRV.

The problem seems to be that you need to select the time range in the time ruler, otherwise any empty space after the last note will not be duplicated. For example, if you have a bar with an eighth note on every beat, you need to select the full bar in the time ruler, because if you just select the notes, when you duplicate them the new copy will start on the last eighth note of the previous bar. This is expected, of course, but the problem is that the time ruler selection does not persist, so even if you select the full bar before duplicating, the selection that includes the full bar with the empty space at the end does not persist after the first copy. So, you need to go back to the time ruler  and select again the full bar before duplicating, something that makes the CTL +D shortcut useless in the PRV.

So, for it to be useful the time ruler selection should persist and allow to repeatedly press CTL +D without having to select each time the area to duplicate. And it would be great to be able to select the area to duplicate just by clicking and dragging in the PRV instead of having to move the mouse to the time ruler.

Installed here already, thanks a lot to Noel!. 👍

You can uninstall your current build and reinstall the 2019.07 release build from BandLab Assistant to grab the update (all of your settings will persist okay).

Will the final release install on top of my current build? If yes, I guess that I´ll rather wait. It will be a few days, won´t it?

Unable to install. The installer will only install over version 25.07.0.79, and I have 25.07.0.84 that Noel kindly sent me to test persistence of VCV Bridge plugin parameters (that BTW has been fixed in this update). Guess I´ll have to wait.
