FR theme: Drum Tracks, Parts & Editor

[lowkey]

The drum track could be a KILLER feature. Its almost a horizontal tracker. Ive been looking into tracker's lately until I realised XT (almost) has one!

[soma]

wonder if any onf this stuff will be in the new release.

-Ability to scroll through samples (during playback) in the same folder (with arrow keys or mouse) to audition a sample for any sample slot. -Midi out or use vst/synth sampler as a pad instead of a sample

-Mute/solo buttons for each sound in the drum sampler gui

-Single click to add note and set velocity (hold the mouse and move up/down)

-trigger for reverse,

-trigger for roll/flam

-paint brush

-Make drum triggers always "snap" long. Right now they are all 1/16th and cover other notes when snap is smaller. (Don't know how this should work if sending midi)

-Allow user to add audio outs to the kit and rout pads to them

-Move automated parameters to top of list for parameter lanes midi out (routable)

-step record

-qwerty keys to add a specific trigger (drum 1 is a, drum 2 is s, etc. shift A is reverse drum 1, etc)

-allow us to reorder the drums with drag and drop

-kit scroll bar (for when there are lots of drums)

-Velocity to parameter mapping


Automateable Parameters:
-pitch,
-sample startpoint,
-decay,
-vol,
-pan
-cutoff
-cc's (for vst/midi/synth-sampler)
-etc (all parameters)

Well still there's hope!

Would be very good if we had a quick up/down sample swap

also note lengths and envelopes are a must!

?

you can quickly move the notes up & down? & dragging a wav ontop of the loaded sample in sequencer view to replace it,


or did i mis understand you post?

yeah somewhat

I think mouse dragging is a very painful operation in order to replace a single sample. Mostly because it requires you to be very exact all the time. And for the drum editor you have to be exact two times every time you want to replace a sample: first in the browser (have to select the right sample) and then in the drum editor (have to drop it on the right pane).

Would be much better if there was also a up/down arrow (or another static button thing) next to each sample in the drum editor window. That way you could easily replace a sample with another sample in the same directory.

So if you have a loop running and searching for the right sound you could easily and rapidly "click-click-click" your way to it rather than wasting horrible mouse movements..

It would be a very direct solution and would definitely boost the creative flow (mean you can switch samples with eyes closed) + it would work much like the preset select keys of the VST on the num-pad.

hi, some questions
1, drum sample editors have groups, what are they for?
i thought it might be to pitch each sample seperately or as a group but it dont matter if its group 1 or all, all samples are repitched

2,effects for each sample,it looks like no sends or insert opton is available,so maybe an FR then

3,nice floating(pop-up}midi editor can we have one for the drum track also please?

thats about it really

cheers, john

multi-out drum parts would be most excellent too.

The groups are choke-groups, 1barenuff. If you put the open and closed hihats in their own, shared group, the closed hihat will cut off the open hihat, as it should.
