thx.

Also, very important:

In sample editor:
Ability to apply fx, reverse, pitch shift, changing gain, filters etc etc to the selected part in the region/trim window.

also add:


Setting looppoints in the sequencer window (main, seq edit, step seq all the same). Is needed for programming little pieces in a sequence.
Looppoints L + R. With a function to set it on/off.
Maybe like this:
New window with option for setting point L on bar 2.2.3 (for example) and point R on 6.1.1 (for example)
And maybe let the user extract the looped midi sequence (selection, selected tracks, entire sequence) to past somewhere else. ;)

this would be cool in the sense of being able to copy all tracks by a certain amount of a bar and fliping it on a new track... get some cool effects like with changing time signature... this is a major feature that's missing from the 4000

yes but also when you work with just 1 sequencee beein 200 bars long, the loopoints might be handy

By wax111 Thu Apr 14, 2005 6:34 pm
Hey that would be cool...Independent loop/start-end points per sequence..you could get pretty intricate.
