I really like the new concept of Riffer 4.

However, there are 2 features missing from the previous Riffer v3 that I am sorely missing, which are:

(1) The ability to manually set the length of the piano roll

(2) The ability to lock individual notes _(without locking the entire key)_

Absolutely. No scope for polymeters. Can’t really get my head round some of functions either, a bit cluttered and confusing. Will stick with previous version for now.

Hi @spacev2

Both should be relatively easy to add. Stay tuned!
