Logic Feature Request

Hi Apple / Logic Crew - Should you deceide to let X-Mass come early this year - here are a couple of wishes:
1) When hitting Record : Automatically deselect any selected regions....
(moving a region down one track then hitting record for a new take - and then wanting to delete that new take one hits OK when prompted if one wanna delete - and whoops - there goes that perfect old take gotten moved down and not deselected.....) You could also make it impossible to delete audio files from the arrange window (One does it in the audio window by selecting unused anyway) that woul also make that ever reocurring "DO U REALLY WANNA DELETE" message void...
2) PLEASE - let those millions of warnings be optional - I hate having to click ok to this and that all the time - At least give those who dont want them the option to turn off all those messages........
3) Integrate that PROGRESS recording bar somewhere else than having it pop up all over the place - when using Logic I feel like its the forth of July with all those pop up things going on:-)
4) Disk Allocation for Individual tracks
5) I cant accentuate this one enough : Sample Edit @ Arrange Level

Perhaps you could make the automatically appearing loop tool in arrange be user selectable in prefs. Crossfade is more useful for me, as I have loop on a key command "L" and that is easy enough. It's easier than turning loops on by accident when I'm trying to adjust region lengths.
Also, some kind of red warning light (maybe in the transport?) when one is deleting or adjusting regions that are selected off-screen, but please don't make it a pop-up message.

Logic Score Problems and Feature Requests...add yours here

I have made up a short document outlining some of the issues with notation side of Logic. because it includes screen shots that clearly indicate what they are, i have made up a pdf file you can download here:
http://www.stevenson.homechoice.co.uk/documents/LogicProScoreRequests.pdf
The issues dealt with are:
Incorrect display:
1. Beat groupings
2. Stem direction
3. Tuplet display problems
4. Missing barlines
Feature Request:
1. Tremelo and trill markings to be attached to notes
2. Wide Trills ie trills over a whole tone
3. Better more intelligent display of phrase markings.
4. Diverging Beams
Well, this will do for now from me. If anyone can think of anything more, please add it here, and i will send this off to Logic via the feedback tomorrow.

thanks for the reply - i really appreciate your support.
I think the notating side gets a little overlooked because developers concentrate all their efforts on the audio arms race.
i.e. manual selection of a specific voice layer
actually this isn't too difficult. there is a key command you can set for "select equal channels" which will allow you to select a specific voice layer. i use this a fair bit in conjuction with "deselect outside of locators".
and seperating out voices from a played in part is relatively easy with another couple of key commands "select lowest/highest note" again i use this in conjuction with "deselect outside of locators".
actually i could go on and on. this is the thing about logic. it allows you to customize all these fantastic key commands and develop workflows that suit you. i use all of the editors when i'm doing scores, because they all are handy for dealing with data in different ways. it is so fast and efficient and will bend to your will. BUT it will only take you so far.....it's so frustrating. like a ferrari with no wheels.
it is absolutely unbeatable for straight foirward film scores though. i just wish some of these issues were straightened out - and they're not major ones either. compared to audio implementation anyway.....

FEATURE REQUEST: Enhanced Texture Options in FW

Recently, a forum user was asking how to change the color of a texture in Fireworks to red or blue. In particular, he/she was struggling with attempting to apply a texture to a white object, and it wasn't showing up.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1006694?tstart=0
The question got me thinking about textures, how they're created and how they're applied. Textures are a unique and distinctive feature of Fireworks. On the one hand, the interface for textures is very simple to use and almost magical; on the other hand, it's surprisingly limited. The concept is great, but the implementation seems only half-baked.
With this in mind, I'd like to suggest a few simple ways that textures could be made more fluid and versatile in Fireworks.
First, a little background...
WHAT IS A TEXTURE?
In the world of Fireworks, a texture is basically a type of pattern that's applied to an object. However, unlike a pattern fill, textures include transparency and integrate with the existing fill content (color, gradient or pattern). They're suggestive of textures in the real world, which are often tactile and defined visually by light and shadow.
Texture graphics are most commonly grayscale ("black and white") in GIF or PNG format. Applied within the application, the graphics are converted "on the fly" to white-on-transparency. If the Transparent option is checked, the graphic is converted into a sort of mask, making the "textured" areas invisible instead of white.
And that's about it.
So what if you'd like to apply a dark texture to a white object? Sorry, it can't be done. What if you'd like to apply a texture in color? It can't be done. What if you'd like to reverse or invert the pattern of the texture? Can't be done.
Well, in fact, these things can be done, but not directly. They require workarounds such as cloning the object and placing the clone above or beneath the original, applying textures as pattern fills (instead of as textures) and adding effects like Color Fill, Invert, and Convert to Alpha, or editing the texture file directly, saving out a new copy, etc. In short, there are unintuitive ways to accomplish these goals that lead to bloated effects lists and layers or that require extra time and care.
HOW CAN TEXTURES BE IMPROVED?
First of all, does it make any sense that textures are applied exclusively in white? Not really. In the real world, a texture can be defined not just by light but by shadow. And even shadows can have color. This means that, at minimum, it would make sense to allow for the application of a texture in black, and, at maximum, in any chosen color.
Secondly, textures are relative. They represent change to an existing surface. Sometimes, it might make sense to highlight the texture itself; other times, the surface around the texture. This means that being able to quickly reverse the figure-ground relationship of a texture would be a very handy feature.
With the above concerns in mind, I've devised three 'user interface' scenarios, presented here in order of most conservative to most extreme. The first scenario is the least powerful but still doubles the number of possible outcomes (compared to the existing interface). The second scenario may be the most logical of the bunch and represents a modest evolution of the existing interface, while increasing the number of potential outcomes even further. The third scenario allows for the application of any color to a texture but also represents the biggest change to the existing interface; that said, it's also quite compact.
Scenario 1: Invert option
The idea here is simply to add an Invert checkbox to the existing options. Checking this option would convert white to black, allowing for the application of dark textures to white or light-colored objects. In "Transparent" mode, this option would invert or reverse the figure-ground relationship of the existing texture.
Scenario 2: Dropdown menu plus Reverse option
Here, the Transparent checkbox is replaced by a dropdown menu that includes 3 mutually exclusive options: White, Black, or Transparent. Checking the "Reverse" option would invert the figure-ground relationship of the texture. This scenario allows for 6 possible outcomes in place of the existing 2, and is actually more logical than the first scenario, which conflates two options.
Scenario 3: Color picker plus Reverse option
Here, the Transparent checkbox is removed, and in its place, a color chip/palette is added to allow for the selection of any color to be applied to a texture. (Choosing Fill: None would create Transparency.) Again, a "Reverse" option would invert the figure-ground relationship of the texture. This scenario differs most from the existing interface but is quite compact and allows for the greatest number of outcomes.
SO WHAT CAN YOU DO?
I've submitted a feature request to Adobe's official site:

FEATURE REQUEST
Product name: Fireworks
Product Version: 12.0.0.236
Product language: English
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature: Enhanced texture controls, including the ability to apply textures in black and/or color (instead of white), and the ability to reverse or invert texture.
How would you like the feature to work? Three possible implementations have been outlined in this forum posting:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1042206?tstart=0
The basic scenarios are as follows:
SCENARIO 1: An additional "Invert" option. Checking this option would convert white to black, allowing for the application of dark textures to white or light-colored objects. In "Transparent" mode, this option would invert or reverse the figure-ground relationship of the existing texture. This scenario would allow for 4 options in place of the existing 2.
SCENARIO 2: Replace Transparent checkbox with a dropdown menu (White-Black-Transparent) and a "Reverse" checkbox. The dropdown menu offers 3 mutually exclusive options, while "Reverse" inverts the figure-ground relationship of the texture in each case. This scenario would allow for 6 options in place of the existing 2.
SCENARIO 3: Replace Transparent checkbox with a color chip/palette and a "Reverse" checkbox. The color palette would allow for the application of a texture in any color, while choosing Fill: None would create Transparency. This scenario would allow for the greatest number of options.
Why is this feature important to you? Textures are unique to Fireworks and potentially very useful, but their implementation is incomplete. The use of 'white only' means that textures cannot be applied to a white object. Inverting a texture or applying a texture in color requires advanced workarounds and can lead to bloat. The suggested options would make the feature exponentially more powerful and intuitive.

Thanks, Jim! It is a very blog-like post. (I still haven't gotten around to starting a blog but keep thinking I should.)
I figured the clearer and more thought-out the presentation, the greater the likelihood it might get implemented. Also, I was originally stuck on Scenario 1 as a solution, and writing this helped me see other options.

Feature Request: iTunes to merge the "Song Name" & "Artist" fields

This is a feature request that i would like to see in a future release of iTunes. The option to merge the "Song Name" & "Artist" fields together. This would be a very valuable option when surfing your iTunes Library thru your iPod, Front Row, or Apple TV.
Let me explain:
Not everyone knows at the top of their head who sings a particular song. This is especially true when someone other than the owner of the iTunes Library is browsing through it.
Let's say that I want to browse my ENTIRE music collection all at once. The easiest way to do this, is by browsing thru the "Songs" list because it creates 1 massive list displaying ALL the songs in the library, without having to jump into different fields. The current problem with this, is, it only lists the name of the song. There are 2 problems with this philosophy. #1 - You must know who sings the songs to have any chance of making this a useful option because the artist is not displayed. #2 - It puts them in alphabetical based on the song name. Once again, not a very useful way to make this option really functional because you will have the Artists all over the map! Keeping the Artist's songs together makes it a much more feasable option.
The solution, I feel, would be to have iTunes create an "Option" that would allow users like me to make iTunes merge the "Artist" & "Name" fields together. Make it an option so that users who do not see the benefit to this, would not have to use it. By doing this, I could now surf my ENTIRE collection via the "Songs" field in a very logical approach.
For an example, let's take a song: Artist - "Def Leppard" & Song Name - "Pour Some Sugar On Me". By clicking this option, when browsing thru the "Songs" field, it would now display as: Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar On Me. This allows me to browse my ENTIRE library while at the same time, keeping "like" songs together, and making it very easy to distinguish whether or not it is a song I want to select. By knowing that Def Leppard is a Rock Artist, it helps to distinguish the song.
I work for a custom AV integration shop that has put hundreds of music servers into homes. We have been teaching our clients the benefits of this for some time now, with great feedback. The only problem presently, is it requires the users to have to re-edit every single file by putting the Artist's Name & the Song Title into the "Name" field of iTunes. Very time consuming! As well, because you also have the "Artists" name entered in the "Artist" field, you get Front Row displaying the "Artist" name twice, once in the song name, and once in the artist's field.
Any feedback would be welcomed.
Regards,
Trevor

You might be able to get where you want using Chaotic Software's MediaRage. It can automate and batch tag editing, including building a Title tag that combines Artist and Title and, to possibly address you other problem, blanking the Artist tag.
MediaRage is not expensive and it is very powerful, you can even define regexs for how to parse tags.

Feature Request: Destructive editing with AUs in Sample Editor

I would like to be able to apply edits destructively in the sample edit window with Audio Units like we could in Logic on MacOS9 (which used AudioSuite plugins). This is an ongoing request, year after year, among veteran Logic users. In every update it is ignored. The feature requires no redesign of the sample edit window, just another menu sub item droplist. While the bounce in place feature is a welcome addition, it is not a replacement for this feature that was removed in the migration to MacOSX and has been sorely missed ever since.
Here's just one recent sentiment from a user on the NYC Logic Users Group:
"I recently changed over to Logic from Pro Tools and I really miss this feature! For handling plosives and de-essing small fragments."
I also know a very prominent producer who boycotted Logic 8 and 9 for this reason alone. While I would never do that (since I happen to love all the new features and feel comfortable with the workflow of Logic 9), I sympathize with this person's frustration over the lack of this feature. I find myself constantly in the position of wishing I had destructive editing back in my Logic tool belt.

With all due respect, I personally cannot stand soundtrack. A lot of effort was put into the app that should have gone into Logic. As you allude to, I can trigger that Logic keystroke to open any sample editor, which is what I do. I just want the functionality back that was taken away from us many moons ago. I'm not looking for workarounds. This is just a simple feature request. But thank you for the suggestion.

RV320 and RV325 Feature Request

Hello Cisco Small Business Community.
We are a Cisco Select Partner and have started using RV320's and RV325's with our customers. As we are implementing these deployments, I have noticed there are a few features I would like to see added to the product. I've listed them below.
Urgently Needed Feature Requests:
1. Allow a subnet mask in the 255.255.0.0 range for LAN VLAN's. Many of our customers use a 10.x.x.x range for subnets and many use a 16 bit subnet mask to give them plenty of room to create both static and dynamic assignments. For example, subnet 10: 10.10.0.0/16 with a range of 10.10.10.1-254 for dhcp dynamic leases, and 10.10.0.1-254 for servers, and 10.10.1.1-254 for printers, and 10.10.2.1-254 for networking gear, etc. None of these networks have more than 254 devices on them, but the extra IP range availability is nice because it allows us to help keep their networks organized.
2. The ability to create service groups for firewall and NAT rule creation. There are often times when we need to group several services together and create firewall and NAT rules for them. This would simplify setup and implementation. An example of this feature on Cisco Small Business Products was on the ISA550.
3. The ability to have the RV320/325 to serve as the NTP server for the network. Most small business customers need NTP server functionality, and the logical place to stick this service for many of these networks is on the firewall.
4. The ability to specify any RFC DHCP option. We have some need to be able to specify several additional DHCP options than the ones hard coded into the firewall dhcp server pages. In addition to the options the DHCP servers on the RV320/325 already includes, the common ones that we often use are "Time Server," "Log Server," and "Time Offset."
6. The ability to specify a domain search list and for DHCP clients.
7. The option to register DHCP clients with the specified DNS server (including the on-box DNS Forwarder).
8. The ability to tweak Firewall Session Settings (like in the RV220w and ISA550) and TCP/UDP Timeouts. If full control is not an option, then may four choices such as: "Conservative" -- keeps TCP/UDP connections alive for the longest period of time, "Normal" -- normal TCP/UDP Timeouts, High Latency -- Keep TCP/UDP connections alive for a longer period of time.
9. Additional Diagnostic/status screen information: -- CPU usage for 1 minute, 5 minutes, and 15 minutes, -- number of Firewall Sessions/States, --Firewall Temperature, -- Real Time and RRD based traffic graphs for 15 minutes, 4 hours, 8 hours, 1 day, and 1 week,
10. The ability to pull Firmware Updates directly from the Cisco support site onto the firewall.
Nice to Have Features:
1. VRRP on both WAN and LAN interfaces.
2. The ability to answer DNS helper requests. What I mean is to be able to set the on-box DHCP server up to serve as the DHCP server for non-connected subnets
3. SSH and Telnet command line access for basic troubleshooting (top, pftop, nbtstat, reboot, etc.)
4. The ability to backup and restore parts of the Config file, e.g. just the VPN setup or just the firewall rules
5. OSPF Dynamic Routing Support
With some of the advanced features, I wouldn't mind needing to buy a perpetual "advanced" license for an extra $50 to $100 (e.g. for VRRP, OSPF, SSH access, etc.).
I hope to hear some responses back from Cisco Product Support on these items.

Hello vreid47362,
I'm quite a bit surprised to see that we have both the same idea: provide our feedbacks to cisco to increase our product usage.
Here's mine list:
Custom services
- I was a bit surprised when I have seen for the first time the embedded services list : there is some that I'm sure that nobody use (HTTP and HTTPS secondary), and some usefull network protocols which are missing : NTP, NNTP, NFS, SAMBA, BONJOUR, SSDP, etc.
It could be interesting to start router with those embedded services.
- An option to select both the TCP and UDP services could be very usefull : for now, when we add a service, we have to specify protocol in the following list : TCP, UDP, IPV6.
If I wants to add a rule for NFS without take care of TCP and UDP, I have to set up :
- two custom services, one for UDP, one for TCP
- two custom rules, one for NFS TCP, one for NFS UDP.
If we have two networks or VLAN, we have to define 4 rules...
- Increase the custom service description length could be helpfull : for now it's a problem if we wants to add more than 11 characters.
- If we add a custom service by error, we are unable to remove the generated field : field say that it expect something. if we do not wants to loose previous fields set, we have to save it with false values, and delete after it. Just boring.
Setting up firewall rules for the first time
- The "View logs" button is located on the bottom of the log tab; if we wants to view logs, we have to scroll : it's very boring when we're setting up our rules : we have to go to the firewall tab, and if there is something wrong, we need to go to log tab and scroll.
If you add a shortcut to the log from the firewall rules tab could be very usefull.
Managing firewall rules on the time
- Be able to add a description of the rules defined could be helpfull : I've set all my rules now, but in few months when I'll come back to the interface, I'm not sure to understand all meaning. A description to explain the rule's object could be usefull.
- If we log something in the firewall logs and if we want to remove the a logging trace type, we have to pass on each rules we think it can log something. It could be interesting to view logging option from the grid: it'll help us to earn time.
- Be able to filter rules by VLAN, protocol, ports or the rule's logging state from the rules grid could be helpfull.
Double Wan management
- Add an autodetect feature for the available bandwith could be very helpfull : accoding with values detected, you can help to configure more easily the router
Double wan protocol binding and multiples VLAN
- When I set up the protocols binding configuration I'm was very boring to have to set up rules for all outgoing protocol rules a interface : for example, wants to set up all outgoing SMTP protocol on the WAN1 interface, we have to select SMTP and add 1.1.1.1 au 223.255.255.254. If we have multiples VLAN, we have to repeat this rule for each VLAN subnet mask…
Set up an option for all outgoing traffic could be very helpfull.
DHCP Subnet masks more than 255.255.255.x
Like vreid47362 said, I'm also interested in this feature: For now, subnet masks defined for the DHCP Vlan are provided from a preconfigured select box. If we wants to choose something other than those provided, we can't. It could be interesting to add own own subnet mask (like for example 255.255.0.0).
Kind regards
David

Feature Request for WSUS

Feature request
Server Clean up Wizard.
Add an option to delete the entire Wsus database/files and start the download all over again.
Product Classifications.
Add an option - look only for updates where there is a computer that has a reported software usage.
It is good that a System admin does not download updates to software example Office 97, when no computer has it installed. And it is also good for Microsoft not to have Office 97 files downloaded from Microsoft servers when there is no software usage except
when WSUS is forced to download and delete.
Automatic cleanup.
A new feature, that builds upon the constant error of wsus database getting to large, and therefor cannot complete the Server Cleanup Wizard "Deleting unused updates". The feature is, run the cleanup within specified x number of days and then do the
five options without a systemadministrator interaction.
BRG
SystemadminDK

Server Clean up Wizard.
Add an option to delete the entire Wsus database/files and start the download all over again.
SenneVL is correct -- deleting the entire WSUSContent folder can be done through Explorer, although there is NO legitimate use-case in which this should ever be done, despite some very poorly written and misleading guidance available on the web to do this
very thing, for purposes which will never be achieved by doing so.
As for the database, well deleting the database is tantamount to uninstalling the role, and thus this capability already exists in the product uninstallation functionality.
Product Classifications.
Add an option - look only for updates where there is a computer that has a reported software usage.
I see this request from time to time and fundamentally it comes from a lack of understanding of how WSUS works. One who understands the basic communication pathways of WSUS would realize that this request is impossible to fulfill.
The ONLY way a computer knows that it needs, or doesn't need, a particular update, product category, update classification, etc., is because there is a *package* in the WSUS database containing detection logic that the Windows Update Agent can test against
its system configuration. Only *then* could it be known whether any given package/product/classification is needed by any system.
Ergo, the architecture of the system is [1] first get the packages, then [2] determine if the packages are NEEDED, and if so [3] APPROVE the packages for deployment to the systems that need the package.
Yeah, I'd like a system to miraculously know which of my systems need which updates too ... although how would such a system ever know that I don't WANT to deploy certain updates, like, say.. I don't install Silverlight on Domain Controllers, or MS13-083
is particularly problematic?
While it's a nice dream to have a fully automated "hands off" patch management system, the reality is that patches are built and tested by humans and therefore require *human* involvement in the process of deployment.
It is good that a System admin does not download updates to software example Office 97, when no computer has it installed.
It is also good that a sysadmin has a nominal clue about what is or is not installed in their environment before they worry about patching it! A key component of every patch management implementation is a complete software inventory. While I can certainly
understand missing the one system that still has an instance of JRE6 or Flash10 installed, I think not knowing what version(s) of a $400 productivity suite are installed is a different beast.
And it is also good for Microsoft not to have Office 97 files downloaded from Microsoft servers
Also, you could have picked a more realistic example. Office '97 has never been available via WSUS!
Automatic cleanup.
A new feature, that builds upon the constant error of wsus database getting to large
Funny you should mention this. The solution for this problem is to actually (and correctly!) use the automatic cleanup tool that's already provided in the product.
and therefor cannot complete the Server Cleanup Wizard "Deleting unused updates".
The *only* reason this happens is because the tool is not used in an appropriate manner from the time the WSUS server is first implemented!
If you *want* to fully automate it (e.g. run it as a scheduled task), that can easily by done by using PowerShell and Task Scheduler.

Feature Request | Allow custom metadata per table/column to be stored

Someone please correct me if there's already a feature that allows this...
I'd like to see a feature where you can define a set of metadata that can be stored per table / column, and perhaps a trigger that updates that metadata.
As a use case, it is sometimes necessary to find out how many records exist in a table, and the typical way of doing this is by running a statement like select count(*) from example_table;. With a large table, this statement might take a long time though, and certainly has overhead associated with it. If this is something that's done on a regular basis, like maybe even once every minute, wouldn't it be much better to store this number as metadata for the table that can be updated on inserts and deletes and then can be queried? It might involve extra overhead on an insert or delete statement to add to or subtract from this number, but then for some applications the benefit of getting the count quickly might outweigh the extra overhead.
Another use case is finding a minimum or maximum out of a table. Say you store a date and you need to find the max value for some feature in your application; with a large table, and especially if its a date with accuracy to the millisecond where an index wouldn't help much because most values are unique, it can take quite a bit of time and overhead to find that max value. If you could define for that column that you'd like to store the max value in metadata, and could query it, it would be very quick to get the info. The added overhead in this scenario would be on insert, update or especially on delete, the value would have to be updated. But in some applications, if you don't expect alot of deletes or updates on this column, it might be worth the added overhead to be able to quickly find the max value for this column.
I know you could probably make a separate table to store such info, and write triggers to keep it up to date, but why not have a built in feature in Oracle that manages it all for you? When you create a table, you could define with the column definition something like 'METADATA MAX' and it will store the max value of that column in metadata for you, etc.
I know that the overhead of this feature wouldn't be good for most circumstances, but there certainly are those cases where it would be hugely beneficial and the overhead wouldn't matter so much.
Any thoughts?
Can this be submitted as a feature request? Am I asking in the right place?
(p.s. while you're at it, make a feature to mimic IDENTITY columns from SQL Server!)

I don't think what you mentioned is exactly what I was talking about. There's no min_value or max_value in the dba_tab_columns table; there's only high_value and low_value, and they are stored in binary. And I believe to be accurate in the use cases that I suggested, you would have to analyze the table after every insert/update/delete. So no, that's not the same feature I've asked for, although I appreciate the feedback.
Also, the num_rows in dba_tables relies on the table being analyzed too, so for a table that stores temporary date to be processed where you want to know the size of the queue every few seconds, it wouldn't make sense to analyze the whole table every few seconds when all you want is a count of the records, and it's also inefficient to use the COUNT function with every query when it would be much faster to store the count in some metadata form that is updated with every insert or delete (adding to a count and subtracting from a count with each insert/delete is WAY faster than analyzing the table and letting it literally recount the entire table every time).
So again, while I appreciate the feedback, I don't think what you mentioned addresses either of the use cases I gave. I'm talking about a different kind of user defined metadata that could be stored per table/column with rules to govern how it is updated. Not you standard metadata that requires an analyze and isn't real time. I also only gave a few use cases, but the feature I'm really looking for is the ability for users to define many different types of custom metadata even maybe based on their own logic.
Again, this feature could be implemented right now by creating a USERMETADATA table for every standard table you have, and then using triggers to populate the info you want at the table level and column level, but why do that when it could be built in?
Also, I don't really agree that having to create a trigger/sequence for every table instead of setting a column as IDENTITY is better. It's cumbersome. Why not build these commonly used features in? It can create a trigger/sequence behind the scenes for all I care, but why not at least let someone mark a column as IDENTITY (or use whatever other term you want) at the time of table creation and let it do everything for them. But that's off-topic; I meant it for more of a side comment, but should really have a separate post about it.

Feature Request: Support for External Synths/Modules (via MIDI)

Hi,
I just posted a feature request (via the Apple Feature Request form) but also wanted to post here. I use a combination of hardware instruments (sound modules) and software instruments.
*My Setup*
- Keyboard #1: M-Audio Axiom 25 (also includes a USB MIDI interface)
- Keyboard #2: Roland A-33 Controller Keyboard (via my Axiom-25's MIDI In)
- Edirol USB MIDI Interface (sound modules plugged into MIDI Outs)
- Sound Module #1: Roland JV-1080
- Sound Module #2: Yamaha TX802
MainStage currently takes care of all my software instrument needs, however, what is missing is the ability to add external physical MIDI devices as either patches or as channel strips. I would like to use a combination of software and hardware instruments in the same song, and control this via Mainstage.
Example:
- Patch 1 could potentially contain 2 software instruments, each seperately controlled by a physical keyboard (this is currently possible)
- Patch 2 could contain 1 software instrument and 1 external sound module each controlled by a physical keyboard (this is currently impossible)
- Patch 3 could contain 2 external sound modules, mapped to different ports and/or channels, and therefore independantly controlled by my 2 keyboads (this is also currently impossible)
Would I be correct in assuming that this is a fairly common limitation of MainStage?

I have achieved MIDI out from Mainstage, thank to the information found on this forum..
what I actually do is send Prg Change from every preset I select to control a hardware vocal harmony pedal. this way i don't have to remember which setting i use on every song or even, section of a song.
*Step 1:*
Library>application support>Logic> create a folder named precisely MAINSTAGE CALLBACKS
inside of it, create an applescript with this code
on action(parameter)
set myprogramchange to programchangenumber of parameter
tell application "MidiPipe"
MIDISend toPort "MidiPipe AppleScript Input" withData {192, myprogramchange}
end tell
end action
*step 2*
download MIDIPIPE from http://homepage.mac.com/nicowald/SubtleSoft/
and install it in your apps folder
*step 3*
start midipipe, and define the following modules
MIDI IN-> use applescript input from menu
MIDI OUT-> route to your midi interface desired output
save this to a Midipipe file you can easily access
Now, when I go to a gig I FIRST (this is important) load midipipe and my preset, and just hide it and let it work in the background
Start mainstage, and set the program change of every PATCH to what I want to be sent over MIDI OUT when I enter the preset (-1 if needed or modify the previous applescript).
Ok, this just gives you Prg change... if you want something like CC or others, you can look at some of the example files on midipipe, and write your own applescripts to be used from a control within mainstage (you know, select a screen control, and assign it to an applescript located in library>application suport>logic>Mainstage scripts. you have to tell the applescript to receive incoming data from mainstage and send it (with even some filtering or transforming) to midipipe to go to the outside world.
One last idea: i used a free plug-in called MIDIIO that, although the plugin analysis on mainstage might say does not pass, you can use it anyway, and lets you insert it as if it was a plugin instrument...then you just route your screen controller to a MIDI parameter on that track, and there you go...but in the past it was not as solid as the midipipe solution.
I am still investigating...I am pursuing having my hardware controller knobs to follow screen settings everytime I just change a patch, but lack some info on how to get parameter values when entering the patch ¿anyone knows, blueberry, zuelito...? I promise to share the results!

Source code / feature request

Hi
This tool is fantastic and saves me a huge amount of time, helping us find some interesting bugs (like why "delete myarr.pop()" was having such an odd side-effect when the array contained strings..).
I'm trying to get hold of the source code for this but my SVN clients can't connect, I've tried lots of different network configurations (from work, home and mobile connections) and both the SVN and HTTP connections, so I think the issue is on the Adobe/SoureForge end. Can anyone check/fix this?
The reason for wanting the source is to add a minor change to the Tag Viewer / Tag Information output. Currently I'm trying to work out what function is defined at offset 0x348B2 of my SWF file. I can see it in the hex editor but it's tricky to work out what this function name is: the class is defined in DoInitActions offset 200492 and length 24355 i.e. a big class.
What I'm hoping for is to add the offsets into each line in the DoInitActions 'Tag Information' panel, so e.g. instead of:
        if L63
        push $1
        push 'isMouseDown'
        getMember
        pushDuplicate
I'd see:
1522:        if L63
1527:        push $1
1527:        push 'isMouseDown'
1534:        getMember
1535:        pushDuplicate
etc where the number at the start is the offset of this instruction within the DoInitActions tag.
If anyone with the source can do this and update the binaries then great but I suspect it's something I would have to do myself... but currently I can't get at the source without having to individually browse to and download every file :-(
thanks
   Andrew

A new version of SWF Investigator was released on Friday (version 0.6.2) and I will be updating the open-source repository in the next day or two. When the update is complete, I will respond to this thread so that you know to pull down the latest version of the source code.
For SVN access, I have used TortoiseSVN on Windows which is supported by SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/TortoiseSVN%20instructions
The logic for your feature request already exists in SWF Investigator but it is currently commented out. For the next release, I can work on enabling it. If you want to play with the functionality in the meantime, then the code is in SWFInvestigator/src/decompiler/tools/Disassembler.as.Within that file there is a function called, "start." Within that function, there is an if-block which checks for "showOffset". You will need to uncomment the out.print() statement within the showOffset if-block. You will also want to set showOffset to true just before the if statement. Recompile the application and it will begin to show the information you want.

RV220W - Feature Request - VLANS

I am not sure why they changed the VLAN configuration page, or if anyone else cares. But I would like to request that it is either changed back, or the ability to decide which vlans use which ports is added, rather than the current tagged, and untagged options. I also think any wireless vlans should be seperate as they were in the older firmwares.
Having spoken to support the changes were implemented to make it easier to configure. Personally it hasn't made things easier for me.
Old Configuration Pages:
New Configuration Pages:
Cheapers Cisco routers have these options (except they only allow 4 vlans) as do many other makes such as draytek.
I bought this router because it was intuative and simple to use and allowed me to specify which vlans used which ports, now that this feature has gone it's caused me all sorts of issues. Maybe I am alone on this one, but it seems like a step backwards to me. It just isn't as configurable.
Would anyone else like to see the old vlan config pages back?
Is this possible?
How does one go about officially putting in a feature request?
Regards
Michael.

The screens haven't changed, they are supported but it appears that it works with the membership table thingy they created. The 1.0.4.6 version looks just the same as the 1.0.3.5 version. Whatever they fixed wasn't what we were looking for. I'd say stick with the 1.0.3.5 version and see if their new configuration idea works before doing the upgrade. The newer manual does address VLAN membership, but they go about it in a strange way when they explain tagged and untagged membership. Personally I hate this table thing, the screen shots of the original you provided seem to make set up a bit more logical. Checking a box to assign the port to the VLAN just seems easier. I just got the Beta version yesterday but I haven't had time to try out the VLAN setup, users get unhappy when the router boots.... I've glanced at the newer manual and it appears port based VLAN is supported through the table, but I'm going to have to find time to "play" with it to find out if it works properly. I've also sent them feed back on the manual mixup, by the way, the newer manual is 30 pages or so longer than the old one. The newest manual # is 78-19743-01 DO the numbers are the same, they just added the DO to the new one.
Let me know if you have any luck,
Kevin

Feature Requests for BlackBerry10 OS

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This thread has been closed and is continued in this new thread here:
Feature Requests beyond BlackBerry OS10.3.1
Please click on that link.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Let's use this thread to list BlackBerry10 OS feature requests. There's nothing official to this thread, but one never knows who might view it and get an idea or two to move foward.
Please let's keep it to feature requests with simple short statements and comments, in this manner:
1. Ability to lock the volume keys (since they are so easliy pressed when retrieving from holster)
2. Personal distribution groups Address Book
4. Add BBM Group icon to home screen
**This thread is not for bug reports (i.e., the calendar glitches when I set the date) or for debate or discussion of the worthiness of a feature request.
So, what would YOU add to BB10?
What do YOU need to make the OS platform work better for you?
Here are the collected feature requests as of 04 April 2013. Thanks for Ride_The_Sky for helping collect these from this thread.

Better headphones with the phone (hey, we didn't even get any!)
Better night shots in camera (hardware or software improvement?)
Ability to choose which address book to sync with bluetooth car.
When app is opened from a folder three or four pages into apps list, we hope the screen can go back to that spot when the app is closed (sadly it uses active frames at the moment)

Custom vibration options.
Move Send button in BBM to avoid accidental submission of message
Forward As… SMS, MMS, EMAIL from one to another.
Send SMS to new numbers (I think you can still do this from call log)
Single key press to change profiles.
Insert a picture into an e-mail. (I think he means into the body of email)
Turning off links of contacts (I think poster did not have multiple accounts, actually BB10 goes ahead and adds all new contacts into all address books in all accounts without user permission.. Create a contact in Hotmail? Gets copied to Gmail.. and then linked, terrible implementation in my opinion)
Presets for browser bookmarks, faster access to bookmarks. (My suggestion was to create a home screen, select 12 icons 3x4 or 16 icons 4x4 as home screen/start page)
Being able to allow flash based on website/url/server.
Ability to adjust different sounds/volumes for different BBM users/groups
Better Voice Dial and Voice Commands (shorter and easier operation)
Ability close one or all web pages/tabs, add "Close All" button.
Call Recording
Faster way to delete e-mails, such as file icons next to e-mails, or Swipe to Delete! Swipe to File!?
Customize email signatures with formatting.
Phone to stay on screen (dial pad always available in panes)
More Options for Clock.
In Playbook we can have a single character password, why not on BB10? "too short" well it is my decision, isn't it?
There is no way to go next/previous while reading an e-mail. Please add these functions.
Add to the e-mail client, Next Unread / Previous Unread.
E-mail or Hub should have more buttons at the bottom in landscape mode. Why keep only three (or four in e-mail view) buttons when you have the real estate. It would be extremely handy if you allowed users to edit which buttons should go at the bottom. Next Previous is really needed while reading an e-mail. For example I would love to add "File" button at the bottom as a shortcut instead of forward, I rarely forward, but I file all the time. Maybe allow users to have two row of keys, add next/previous/unread. Or it could be done with a gesture. How about swiping the account name (top blue bar while reading e-mail) left and right?
When you create a new contact in BlackBerry, it gets synced to all accounts on the Hub. There is no way to limit the new contact to a specific account.
Sometimes when you file an e-mail to a folder, it stops and waits few seconds with no message. Even when it files immediately, there is a confirmation message that takes time to appear and disappear, and the folder list does not disappear automatically.
Messages filed automatically by server using server side filter rules are still showing up on Blackberry hub/inbox. In older BB versions the filtered messages did not show up in the list, filed messages still did.
When you filter your e-mails using Filter / Unread function, new unread e-mails do not show up until you close the filter and re-open. It won't just keep refreshing your screen with unread e-mails. Can BB add a button to the hub "Unread Hub" so when hub shows 8 or 2, you can actually see unread items easily without having to through so many taps.
Native BB QR scanner (Smart Tags) does not work with barcodes (it only scans with no way to use the information). There is Open In function but it doesn't work properly.
We need to add more customs search providers, and be able to add custom search strings/wildcards. For example currently there is Google, Bing, Yahoo, Foursquare, etc..
I hope BB introduces the ability include more standard & custom searches, IMDB, PriceGrabber, Ebay, Youtube, XYZ Forums, ABC Newspaper, 123 Database, Etc.. Most sites nowadays provide search string in their URL Search=?* etc...
None of the Battery apps can access system settings to add a battery icon to the top. I wish battery percentage was there.
There is no way to check carrier/mobile signal strength.
Blackberry, please add the date and carrier / SSID info to the top. Sometimes we just want to glance at the top to see the date without having to swipe.
Please bring back keyboard shortcuts. Since we can easily swipe up to bring the keyboard, just add keyboard shortcuts in e-mail, phone (true speed dialing, dialing by word?), and browser, etc.. if possible. I could always call 1800SOMETHING# now I have to look up the number or use dial pad.. Please bring it back.
Camera zoom function needs to be fixed, also please include option of fixed focus by tapping on the screen to focus. The auto focus in video is focusing in and out to various objects all the time. Stabilization feature also causes tearing/ripples, I guess it is good if you are stationary. Or use Volume Keys to Zoom.
Please allow more than 12 icons in an icon group/folder, I hated Apple for limiting apps per folder, please fix it.
Auto ON/OFF feature is not there anymore. BB should consider Auto DND (DoNotDisturb) or Auto Silent/Airplane modes instead.
Please find a way to stop the music app from automatically starting up every time it connects to bluetooth like car audio. This is very annoying.
No Panaroma mode in Camera app, why not? It is very easy to incorporate. This could be a nice addition to next release, and easy.
The text selection grips needs to be a little bigger, sometimes I cannot see where I am moving them, they work better in Playbook, nice big tabs.
Call Functions, before answering a phone add sideways gesture functions, like swiping right will forward the call, swiping left will answer with a test message, etc..
Or there should be a way to reject the call without sending it to voice mail, phones had this function a decade ago, I don't know what happened to it.
We used to be able to see the "History" without having to save the contact. Now I don't see any way to "View History" of a certain phone number, it just keeps adding
them as individual entries to the log. Now I can't see when was the last time they called me, how many times we spoke which day, etc... I loved this feature in BB5.
Where is BB Traffic? Where is BB Weather, without having to run an active frame? It will eventually disappear if you run too many apps. I liked a little Icon that shows me what the temp is, instead of running a whole app.
There is no Skype. This day and age with all other platforms having it, please either get skype (Microsoft) to cooperate, or open up BBM to other platforms. If necessary, pay Skype to develop the app, then charge BB users for the app. Most will gladly pay.
Can we tap and hold on an active frame to pin it, or can we pin two favorite apps between Call and Search & Search and Camera buttons in the bottom bar? How about Close All running Active Frames app to quickly free up ram?
I hope next generation devices have two speakers or speaker that is facing forward. When playing games or watching videos in landscape mode, I find my palm muting the speaker. I have to hold it gently with fingers to have a gap in between, something I don't want to do when I am on the subway or bus.
Blackberry Maps should have a Zoom In/Zoom Out buttons, sometimes using it with one hand, it is impossible to zoom in and out. (Zoom in is OK but we can't zoom back out)

FEATURE REQUEST: make swipe-down Notifications bar disable-able

I use the iPad as a drawing tablet every day, using Brushes, ArtRage, and other drawing apps.
It's wonderful and I am delighted to be able to do this . . . EXCEPT WHEN I DRAW A STROKE DOWN FROM THE TOP OF THE SCREEN.
The introduction of the new pull-down Notifications drawer has led to loud cursing and a strong desire to break things, for me. When one is drawing, one is not in a state in which one wishes to glance at what the next day's schedule is at. Furthermore, the active area of the pull-down also 'catches' the drawing input, so the stroke which is misdirected into the Notification dialog is lost work, and subsequent rapid stokes, up to the threshold of my reaction time, also do not register.
I must then dismiss the godforsaken irritating dialog in order to continue drawing. It is the most incredibly irritating interaction I have ever experienced on an Apple product.
Please permit the dialog to be disabled either user-globally or on a per-app basis as a user-configurable setting.

even with all notifications turned off the drawer remains active. there's no way to disable it.
while this may be a user to user forum apple people do contribute. I did file this as a feature request but wanted it to be visible and searchable.

BUGS and FEATURES REQUESTED. Please add to it.

I've been using the z10 for the past couple weeks and wanted to start a thread of comprehensive Bugs and Features Requested.
I've labeled Bugs by letters (A,B,C...) and Features Requested by numbers (1, 2, 3...) so that others can add sequentially.
BUGS
(Not listed in any particular order)
(A.) Contact App adds current date as birthday. When I edit my contact, the current date gets listed as the birthday in local contact.
(B.) Duplicate telephone numbers listed. Telephone numbers show up twice in my Contacts (e.g.., if I have the contact's cell saved in (000) 123-4567 format and the person has the number listed in Facebook, I get a duplicate entry of +10001234567).
(C.) Telephone numbers and emails are not actionable in Web pages. In webpages, I can't click on telephone number to call (e.g., I look up a phone number for a restaurant). I should be able to easily call or copy into the Phone App or E-mail App.
(D.) Auto capitulation for words on the word substitution list is wrong. For example, when the word substitution contains more than one word. I have "ru" change to "are you" but if the first letter is capitalized (R) then both words become capitalized words (Are You). I used to have shortcuts like "mysig" to create email signatures with legal disclaimers but I can't do that now.
(E.) Backspace delete doesn't work consistently. The Shift+Delete function seems only to work after moving the cursor. This feature is the Alt+Del action to delete words after the cursor.
(F.) All Emoticons do not list. Emoticons do not all fit on the the two screens (lists) of emoticons. I.e., two columns are missing from view and can be seen when sliding (swiping) between the lists. Also, sometimes when I select an emoticon, it doesn't correspond with the picture of the one I intended. I believe this error is related. As a separate note, there should be a way to see the underlying symbols of the emoticon. (Often times, other people don't have BlackBerrys so I'd like to know what symbols would be sent--my prior 9800 would show the characters as i scrolled through them).
(G.) BlackBerry keyboard doesn't always work in input fields. E.g., certain Web pages. (I found a work around; two finger swipe up from the bottom makes the keyboard appear)
(H.) Sent messages stay unread. This seems to be an issue when an app sends an email (e.g., share article). The email with the sent indicator (checkmark) stays bold and I have listed 1 unread email. I can't mark as read/unread but if I delete the sent email, my unread message gets cleared.
(I.) Contact already added but I get the option to add instead of view contact. For some contacts, I get the option to add to contacts in the action menu cascade when that person is already in my address book. This bug is for emails and text messages.
(J.) Cannot call from text message. When I hold a text message and select call under the action menu cascade, the OS opens up the phone app but doesn't call.
(K.) Composing messages by name. When composting messages, the input must be by first, middle and last name. It should be, instead, by string and include nickname. E.g., if the person's name is "Andrew B. Cameron" I must type the name in as such. I can't type in "Andrew Cameron" or "Andy Cameron."
Features Requested and Suggestions for Improved User Experience
(In no particular order)
1)      Option to reply in different ways from the Call List. Be able to select a name in a call list and have options to call, text or email the person. The action menu allows calls to other numbers but I can't choose to text or email the contact instead. Sometimes, I missed a call and want to reply via text because I’m not able to talk. (Long hold on the Torch 9800 trackpad button brought up the action menu allowing me to call, text, view history, add to speed dial, e-mail, delete, etc.)
2)      Option to reply in different ways from the Hub. Related to above, when selecting an item in the hub, have the option to contact the sender or caller with multiple different ways.
3)      Only show number once in contacts application. Tap on the number to bring up the "action" cascade menu with options to call or text the number. Why is the same number listed twice (once to call and below again to text it)?
4)      Timestamps for individual text messages. I can't tell exact time on individual text message if it comes in near the time of another text. All messages are in one "bubble."
5)      Ability to select MMS or text for a message. Sometimes I write a text longer than 160 characters and I prefer it to be sent in one message (i.e., MMS mode) rather than being broken into one or more standard text messages. I had this ability with my 9800.
6)      Send button should be moved for text messages!!! Why the heck is it right underneath the delete button?!? Or next to the period button? I often times have accidentally hit send when composing text. It's very annoying and embarrassing. (Also, what happened to the ability to hit enter for a return carriage to next line?)
7)      Bigger magnifying glass. My finger is often over the area I need to place the cursor. I find it difficult and erratic to place the cursor.
8)      Select all option. Add the option to select all text in action menu cascade.
9)      E-mail recipients and message headers. Difficult to tell if you are one of many email recipients. Can we have a way to pull the email down to see the list of recipients rather than have to click to expand the header info? I know this request is a little picky, but that's how it was done in the previous BlackBerry OS which I preferred; it is easier and faster to pull the e-mail down and 'peek' to see which e-mail box received the message, message status, from and to fields. This change would be consistent with BB's flow/peek rather than click.
10)   Browser navigation. Hold down back arrow to get a list of recently visited websites similar to a desktop browser.
11)   Dark/Night mode. A night mode (maybe in the drop down menu) to change all the white and bright backgrounds to black or dark which would be helpful when reading/viewing things at night in bed/etc.
12)   Number of contacts. Ability to see how many contacts I have.
13)   What happened to groups or categories? I'd like to have back the ability to filter or see categories and also a way to contact everyone in a category. E.g., family or friends or coworkers, etc.
14)   Shutter sound mute. I was at a wedding and wanted to take pictures during the ceremony but the shutter would was too loud.
15)   East Asian Language Input. I bought my parents two Samsung Galaxy S3 phones over the weekend because they need Korean input (and the Kakao talk app). (BTW, S3 is a great phone but I prefer the Z10 after having the weekend to use the Android phones).
16)   Ability to freely place icons on the homesreen. Currently, icons are forced top left-right-to-bottom. I prefer to space my icons out.
17)   Add a contact to the homescreen. I'd like to place a shortcut (similar to a Webpage) to the homescreen for a contact which will open up the contact. Android allows this feature and so did my previous 9800.
18)   Search Contacts by nickname. The contacts app doesn't allow me to search by, e.g., Andy, even if I have that as my contact's nickname. The previous OS allowed this type of search which was very helpful.
Finally, as a note, I've been using the BlackBerry Z10 for the past 2 weeks and it's a great platform. I just bought two Samsung Galaxy S3 phones over the weekend for my parents so they could use the Korean language input and related features so I spent a lot of time with the Android platform, setting it up and teaching them how to use it. The S3 is a great phone too.
I prefer, however, the way BlackBerry has done their OS 10 and the integrated management of messages.
It's too bad that BB doesn't have Korean input and apps like Kakao Talk or I would have considered it for them.
The BlackBerry 10 is a great platform and I look forward to the continual improvements that will only make the experience better.

This is a great post.
I couldn't have written it myself better.
I'm also in dying need of Korean input as I can't communicate with my Korean friends.
But I second every point.
I hope the tech teams are reading this.
