SFZ, GIG, MIDI & numbers

[notorand]

That's not new, but ...

1. Support for SFZ and GIG soundfonts (http://linuxsampler.org/)
2. Export to MIDI
3. Allow volume/panning of notes and group of notes to be entered by numbers

[diiz]

GIG support is already implemented for 1.2.
Note volume/panning entering by numbers already works in 1.1. Just double click the vol/pan bar.
Export to MIDI has no estimate yet.

Version 1.2 of what? Now LMMS as it's v1.1.0 now (Jan 2015).
I presume SFZ is not being taken into account yet.

Note volume/panning entering by numbers already works in 1.1. Just double click the vol/pan bar.

Have you tried it yourself? I select a group of notes and then click on the volume-pan bar. It doesn't work.
In the Beat+Bass line editor there are two knobs: Volume and Pan, but that's for the whole instrument, not the single notes.
In the piano roll there is a Volume/Pan button (lower left corner) but clicking on it just flips Volume and Pan values. You still need to enter it by sliding the controls, no number so far.

Export to MIDI has no estimate yet.

That's a pity!

no, what diiz means is that you can set precise volume on one note, but plans for more advanced options in the lower part of piano-roll, are in the stream
1.2 is next release, so diiz told you that 1.2 will have gig support

Thanks.
I actually meant what I originally wrote:

3. Allow volume/panning of notes and group of notes to be entered by numbers

Then the meaning of sentence

Just double click the vol/pan bar.

required me some testing and trying.
It's actually clicking on the single note bullet shown in the vol/pan (lower) panel.
That almost works for a single note as musikbear stated, but not for a selected group.
I wrote "almost" as 90% of times I double click and both change the volume and get the dialog to enter the numeric value.
In my opinion right-click could/should be restored to it's "natural" meaning: contextual menus.

If we need a context menu there, yes. What options/items are this context menu going to consist of?

[notorand]

Change volume? Change pan? Cut-Copy-Paste?
Mine is just an idea. The point is that a double click can yield to two false single-clicks. Double-right-click is quite uncommon, though.

Have you tried to change the volume on the very first note in the piano roll?
To me it's a pain. I have to move the note on the rigth, edit and then move it back to left.
Right click on the note itself could bring a context menu in order to change the values of that note: panning, velocity, cut-copy-paste etc.
More or less like other editors.

I think change volume and pan can be done as before just as easily (and graphically) in the bottom of the Piano Roll.

@notorand Midi Export is coming to 1.2

If "and graphically" means that "graphically" is the only way to do it, then I was talking about a different thing.
As "before" (1.1.0) there was only a way to double click on the volume bullet to enter a single note volume value. Which is not what i was talking about too.
Thanks anyway.
