We need to talk about the piano roll...
I was a FL Studio user since i was a kid, but i always hated the mixer workflow, and just recently i decided to migrate to Bitwig, bc it seemed like a really creative DAW with all the live features, modulations, and the grid, but for me it seems like the piano roll doesn't follow the same philosophy as the rest of the daw.
- No scale highlight
- No chord tools
- No colored notes
It really seems like the piano roll is just "a tool", with the minimum features required to be called a piano roll, don't get me wrong, it get's the work done, but it's not fun to use, FL Studio allows me to try a bunch of strange scales, and different chords, all within the piano roll, and now they have a chord progression tool that's simple and awesome to use, it just make me want to write different things and discover new sounds, it's just fun to write things on the piano roll.
I really want to love Bitwig, besides the piano roll everything is so fun and inspiring, sound design is 90% of what i do, but that other 10% are preventing me to love it...
