    Concepts

    This plug-in looks like a step sequencer, but is a MIDI item editor.
    It allows you to edit notes on different tracks within one measure bounds
    inside a beat grid, by toggling grid cells.
    You can move from one measure to another.

    Single-mode and multi-mode:
    edit either one single track or a number of tracks


    Plugin works in two modes.
    In “single-mode”, there are 128 rows for each note pitch of one single track.
    In “multi-mode”, you can add a number of rows (“channels”) to the grid,
    where each one row represents notes of the same one pitch and track of your choice.

    Insert new items or stretch existing ones automatically

    You can add/delete notes by toggling cells in rows. If there's no item on channel's track
    within current measure bounds, then either a new item will be automatically added, or
    the previous item will be expanded to the end of the measure, depending on insert/stretch
    mode option.

    Grid time resolution change

    You can change time resolution of the grid from 1 beat up to 1/16 beat
    (for 4/4 time signature, the range is ¼ note (4 cells) - 1/64 note (64 cells)).
    When you switch to another measure, grid resolution is auto-expanded if necessary
    to show all the notes inside the measure.

    Copy and paste

    You can select one or several rows and copy/paste cell notes between rows in any mode.

    Loop measure

    Loop measure option sets loop points to the current measure and moves edit cursor.

    It’s currently Windows only, but I’ve heard an OSX version is in development.

    There is a free version that does not save settings after closing the project and a $12 version without this limitation.

    You can get the extension and find out more here

    There is some discussion on the forum about it here and here

    Looks like fun to me. What do you think?

    feh.. his demo didn't wow me... either it's not as good as it seems,
    or he needs to get someone with better skills to show it off

    My goodness, that's a repulsive UI. That needs a custom skin now.
