PB4 quality of life requests and user manual updates

1

I’m hoping that Audiomodern will take these requests and criticisms constructively and not just get defensive or argue with me. So, here it goes…

After you are done making your 1-3 selections in the AI window, there is no button to get back to the Main sequencer/performance window. Instead, you have to either click the PB banner, which takes us to the “About” page, or the Preset bar, which takes us to the Presets window. In either case, we then have to close those windows to get back to the Main sequencer/Performance window. I don’t understand this workflow and impedes flow state. Please provide a “Go” or “Finalize Selection” or simply a “Close Window” button on the AI page that will close the AI window and take the user back to the Main page where they started from.

The User Manual has many errors and is not up to date with current version. The MIDI Export part of the user manual is wholly insufficient (as previously discussed at great length) and there is no information about the MIDI Import feature.

Is there any way to MIDI export (maybe through automation?) then playback the MIDI within PB4 (using the new MIDI import capability as of v4.0.7) a track note’s pan and pitch information? I have asked this a few times, but have not received a response.

There is a button - you should click an arrow near the AI logo

OMG thank you. It’s like hidden in plain sight.

That’s correct. The manual doesn’t include the MIDI import feature since it was added at the last minute. However, we’ve included a tooltip explanation that appears when you hover over the tab button, detailing how it works within the app. We’ll make a few improvements to the import function and update the manual accordingly.

What part of the midi export is not explained well enough in the manual? Maybe we could clear it up here for you.
