I don't know if anyone but the devs knows the answer to this, but is it possible to have an instrument on a group track that plays the midi information of the midi tracks grouped together in it?

I dont no. Might be a no, or a yes, but you can allready do layer instrument if you want to do it now. I think u are allready aware of it though

yeah it would just be an added convenience over having multiple note receivers on a track ^^

Together in a "mono"timbral instrument, like a piano?
Dont believe so: imagen you have 4 clips and in all are notes with pitch #60, all at 1.2.4 in the grid starting, but all have different lenghts - what should happen to the 4 gate off, which is the "regular"???

To handle this u need a multitimbral Instrument, which splittet the clips to different "instruments" intern the main-instrument, like a GM-Player, but for what reason? Even the clips in a collapsed group will adress the regular vst/devices u have used.

More intersting is the question, if the group is also a "bus" for summing-fx? I hope yes, so u need e.g, only one side-chain-compressor for all basses in one group, or only one summing-delay for "layerd-synths"....

And also the qeustion: is it possible to cut a "group-clip" into segments and loop/copy/paste it like a normal clip AND to bounce the "group clip" into one file AND also if u want into seperate files with "one click".

the groups is a summing bus fx, that much i have catched up

Second question, yes he shows that video at namm 2015 dom that its possible to make shorter longer copy past cut and all things with the metaclips on the group

I am soo excited to try it! Soon i think!

@ronny:
thx - sounds great. Cant wait till october when they will release it;-)
maybe they implement till this date, the feature to hide the group tracks (not the content tracks, only the container-track) or to show them as "alias" at the end of the regular tracks (like the normal send-tracks) with a eye-icon to show/hide its content-tracks on their regular place and it would be perfect.
