detach windows to make a better use of a second monitor

Postby origami » Sat Jul 14, 2012 12:05 am

Let me explain my wish.

I use Orion with two screens. To make the most out of them, I extend Orion to both screens and open the Playlist there. BUT when I open the piano roll, it also extends to both monitors and then the playlist (or whatever I have dragged to the second monitor) is hidden under the piano roll.

It would be great to have the windows independently (similar to how Reason works now: I know comparing hosts is not the best but i say it just as an example: actually I don't use reason at all, but I like that feature) so that the Playlist, or the Mixer, or whatever I choose, stay open and visible in the second monitor at all times.

If I do anything wrong and that is already possible, please show me the way though! :D

Im guessing here...


If the synth is in monitor one, when you open PR does it go full screen across both montors?

Is that what you mean ? Maybe resizing it once might keep it that way when you re open PR?

Not ideal but might work....

Yes, when I open a synth's PR it extends to both monitors. I'll try what you said.

+1 detach windows

What Kriminal said, only works in the current session, next time you open your song all piano roll windows size are lost.
