In LMMS I was able to clone a track. I think this feature would be handy in Mulab. It's a nice feature and allowed me to make much more advanced melodies faster. It also allowed me to edit the cloned instrument to just change it a little. I would really appreciate this.

Thankyou,

Dakkra

Left click a track, hold control, and drag to a new empty position, then you have a copy of the track.
Ok.. I refer to a part, not a complete track.

What I'm after is copying the instrument rack+track.

interesting request

So far is a three steps action.

Ctrl+LC and drag a copy of the Rack
With the cloned Rack selected add a Track
Ctrl+LC the Part you want to the new Track.

Maybe there is a more economical way....

I'm thinking more of a right click "Clone track&rack" kinda thing on the track

+1 for "interesting request". I can think of situations it could be handy in.

A nice implementation would be CTRL + Drag a rack (wow a rhyme

) onto the plus symbol below the last track, to create a new track and a copy of the rack already connected...

There could be many tracks (and parts on various tracks and other racks) pointing to the one rack, so you can't do it from the rack end..? You'd need to select a track and have a means of duplicating that (shortcut key, right-click menu item, mouse gesture, etc).

wouldnt this only work for audio tracks or tracks pointing to a rack?

What it does is, simply clone the track(and all it's sequence audio and autamtioin clips), and clone the rack(and all it connections). I simply want to duplicate the two so I can make a slightly different instrument but still have a same feel to the song.

im just sayin that it potentially wouldnt work in the case of a track driving a plugin or module within the mux because of the independent relationship between tracks and mux modules

Hard work and guts, my friend

There are no easy getaways

I guess it really only does what was asked for if the track's targeting a rack rather than anything else. But why not have it clone whatever is (contained and) being targeted?
