eXT Wish List / Feature Requests

[declassified]

A tracker component similar to Fasttracker or Octamed.

This would be very nice!

Ability to set up several project paths (sample folder, recorded waves folder, saved projects folder) and eXT will automatically select them.

For example, right-clicking on an audio part or track will force eXT to open the open dialog in d:\samples\.
If you press the sequencer's record button, the recorded wave will be saved to d:\samples\record.
If you press the open button, eXT will browse d:\tracks\.

See the hints and tips sticky for a similar thing.

This is actually not the same! I'd like to be at my samples folder when i insert a sample.

Another request:
Timestretching abilities without detuning. When you double-click on a sample to edit it, the could be sliders for time AND for pitch (in 1/100 notes).
This would make loop-based production easier and could convince some of the ACID-using producers to switch to energyXT.
And, while it is possible to resize the end of a sample in the sequencer quite nicely, it would be nice to be able to do the same for the beginning of a sample. Double-clicking on it and using the start and end markers isn't very precise.

time-stretching as well as beat-slicing is already on
Jorgen's todo-list at least for some month

Sorry, i haven't got much time to know what's new about XT except for getting new versions.

suggestion:

I'd love to be able to set a *different skin* for the VST versions vs. the standalone. That way, when I place eXT as a VST within eXT standalone, it's *really* easy to discern the difference.

What'cha think?

Have a look at this thread...a few users already figured out how to manage that. It would be a cool option.

Renaming of ghosted parts
If I change notes or the colour of a part the ghosts follow. But that's not the case when I rename one ghost. I need that!

Piano roll in midi-parts
If I double-click a part in a midi track I get all the features to manipulate the data - but it's hard to find the position where the played notes reside. A piano roll would fix that

Hi all!
Folders and hide/show switch for tracks in the sequencer comp...i think this can be useful for the
envelope's tracks....sometimes i go to have hundreds

Selecting CC Events in CC Views
The new adjustable views in the MIDI Parts are great and really handy.

What I would also like to see is:
>> Can we select a CC event in the CC view *without* clicking on it in the Event List - so that we can see its value in the CC View window. Perhaps keep it selected if you click on it in the CC view (click on an event currently just changes the value).

>> And to be able to select multiple CC events by shift-click in the CC View?

>> And, for consistency, in the Event List, can we use shift-click to select multiple events (currently it is ctrl-click)

I wish for,
The ability to split audio files in the main Sequencer window and move the pieces around the same as midi tracks.
The part edit windows to display song position in bars as well as beats in the part.
That the Audio Part file start and end positions were set with a control key and click so that they do not move when attempting to draw an envelope peak on a file.

i think that's a bug 'cause i believe to remember that this already worked before

Dear Jorgen
Is it possible to make adding vst/vsti's in a way it is done in AudioMulch?
Ie, "insert after", "insert before", "replace", "substitute" the current module in the add menu?
It will be very helpful IMHO

[nutsadamus]

anyone request a Panic button in the main window and the sequencer window?

I seem to have a frequent problem with stuck notes which often happens when i'm switching between patches on an instrument.

Last night I had a stuck note I couldn't unstick. Tried restarting ext but the stuck note carried over even with Ext shut down and I had to reboot the machine.

An all notes of type panic button would come in handy for me.

A display which shows the elapsed song time (sequencer comp and main mixer) and an info box with the current mouse pointer position (sequencer comp) would be useful.

there already is support for folder tracks in sequencer...Track -> Add -> Folder, then right-click a track and select 'Move to...'
