(this has also been requested before, but I thought I'd make the wish list complete :))

A shortkey that bypasses snap while held. This would allow quick, snap-independent length change of notes.

And there's more

1.in MIDI Part, a ghost can be renamed independently of its original; surely the original and its ghosts should all have the same name (change one, then all change)?

2. in MIDI Part - when you UnGhost a Part it retains the Part name (so you end up with 2 distinct different Parts with the same name); perhaps a suffix, e.g. “UG” should be added to the part name to make it distinct?

3.in MIDI Part - 2 separate different Parts can be given the same name; should uniqueness be enforced here too?

4. in the GUI, can we have GUI items for the horiz/vertical zoom buttons - default and pushed (currently it uses the standard button bmps)?

5. in the GUI, can we have GUI items for the Event List background, font colour and selected colour?

6. in the Sequencer/Envelope Track- can the Envelope Part open up in a pop-up window for editing when you double-click it or select Part > Edit (just as for MIDI Part and Audio Part) - this saves scrolling and zooming in and out)

7. in the Audio Parts, can the pan values be L63 to C to R63 as elsewhere (currently they are -63 -to 0 to 63)?

8. in the pop-up window on the Main screen, can the eXT components be listed in alphabetical order (the VST folders are listed in the order in which there were added to eXT, so that is fine)?

9. in the Main Mixer, implement Power Off for the Sequencer Comp (yes, I really want to sometimes)

10. in the Sequencer, implement Power Off for an Audio Track (for consistency, action same as for mute?)

Phew!

When you Freeze a track it uses the instrument name as the filename, wouldn't it be much better if it used the Patch name - or even both??

Of course I think the bug with the main mixer needs to be fixed before this will work - The main mixer patch-names do not update when you change the patch in the VST window.

What about a way to drag/drop or cut/paste module schemes in the main window? Like if I have an elaborate routing set-up that I wanna combine with another one. It would be really cool to select the modules via click & drag or by cntrl/click & drag them or cut & paste to another running eXT for swiftly building complicated projects.

This can be done in Reaktor's structure window, which maybe explains what I'm suggesting better than I can. Being able to grab multiple object & cut & paste into a new doc is basically what I'm saying.

does this fall into the option to save comp setups ?

it would be neat to ie: load up the midi or seq part with stuff then save that as a comp.

DUH, if it can already be done. :D

being able to export midi and audio parts and import them into the sequencer comp 8)
(exporting already works)

I already posted some of these wishes in the live ideas tread, but after exploring a bit more I found that some of those ideas were already implemented in a different way (:oops:), so here are the corrections:

1. midi part:
MUTE or ON and SOLO instead of PLAY for each part, and master transport controls like in the sequencer comp. Transport controls in the main mixer.

2. Something like "live play mode": when you start a sequencer or midi part it starts in sync with the previously played one (after 1 bar or more... it should be configurable), and the previous stops.
It would be similar to "grooveboxes" behaviour, like roland mc303, 505... or yamaha rm1x. When you select the next pattern, the previous stops. Great if you want to play live without any pause, just like a DJ 8).

3. Midi cc mapping for mutes and solos in the mixer and sequencer comp.

4. Sequencer comp:
Being able select a part and having the options pop up simultaneously by right clicking on it, without having to select it previously with the left click.

perhaps I was being a bit redundant...
I'm *dying* for a MIDI scaler or a "MIDI compressor" object.
set CC or Vel range from 50-100
0=50, 127=100, and all notes in between scale
to satisfy the 50-100 range.

I am aware that this is possible in the Param menu, but as an *object*,
it's MUCH more flexible. To be able to use them along with the MIDI patcher,
and ultimately MIDI filter objects.

When working in modular MIDI environments such as Reator/PD/Max,
I find such objects INDISPENSIBLE, *especially* when using sensors and cameras to generate MIDI, which in turn, controls things *other* than sound.

I'm finding eXT to be VERY close to replacing PD/Max for low-level MIDI routing. Couple that with it's DEVINE VST handling, it's almost there for me.
What I wouldn't do for a scaler, a MIDI filter, and as a pipe dream, a velocity object with velocity scaling and editable curves ;)

I think nF has some plugs that can do this as do I...

Yes I'm looking forward to a specialised component for this too...just that you made it sound as if setting the Min/Max values on the Env, and CC mapping windows didn't scale the data, when it does.

And as piranha mentioned... we made our own SE plugins to do this already.

I'm hoping the upcoming transformer component will include this ability.

I just realized that my Velosquish only does velocity scaling. :o

I guess I am going to need to create another version that does CC scaling. Maybe I'll call it ccCrush.

* Mono audio tracks in the sequencer save some HD space and transfer.

* Another vote for metronome linked to the sequencer with count in.

forgot to give links to my CC Scaler and Velocity scaler....
