Hello all,First off, I just want to thank the Image-Line team for such an amazing DAW. Keep up the great work. I am posting here to request a rework of the Edit Events window. It is very clumsy, frustrating, and has been the same way for years.Consider this. I want to change a Modulation X parameter in a pattern, but not have to create an automation for it. So naturally, I edit the events for that Modulation X parameter in my pattern. Let's say I want to create a line with a positive slope from 0 initially to 90% at the end.Upon opening the edit events window, I see this:If I was a new user, I'd just be lost here. But that is generally the case for any DAW with a new user. Since I am comfortable with FL Studio, I get my Pencil tool, right click and draw this:Now here's where things get finnicky. First off, if you look closely enough at the beginning of bar 2, you'll notice that this line I drew doesn't actually stop exactly at bar 2. It stops maybe a brief moment before the second bar starts. This is not quantized or snapped or anything like that.It should therefore snap just like every other situation where the Pencil tool is used (excluding slide mode). This is inconsistent with most of FL.Another HUGE issue that has persisted forever is the fact that I only drew this slope for less than 1 bar, and yet FL Studio automatically fills in the last changed position 'until' infinity. Here's what I mean:We know that the purpose of this is to simply keep the Modulation X at the same value and to prevent it from changing unexpectedly. However, this, combined with the first issue of no snapping/quantization, creates a need for nitpicky fixes and a lot of finnicking to get the right slope, which is something that should easily be accomplished.I hope my point is starting to become somewhat apparent by now. If it's not, all I'm trying to say is that the Edit Events window is no longer consistent with the rest of FL. If it were modeled after the current means of editing automations, it would suddenly be consistent and it would also be much easier to work with.As for the very useful LFO function that the Edit Events window currently offers... Well, if the Edit Events window does end up getting changed to be more like automation editing, perhaps when selecting "wave" or as the point type, there would be a means of changing the exact point's wave parameters that are the same as the parameters offered by the LFO tool in the Edit Events window. I don't know many details surrounding that. Perhaps someone else has an idea for it.I know I'm not the only person that finds the Edit Events window troublesome. I was directed here by the very helpful admins at the FL Studio facebook page after another user called out for a rework of the LFO of the Edit Events window.If this issue has been discussed before, my apologies, I did not search for any other people with frustrations related to this issue.Thanks for reading. Hope to hear from others soon.
