eXT Wish List / Feature Requests

[Wintermute]

1)

An (optionally visible) grid and a "Snap to" feature, so the anally retentive type can sort things on screen.

2)

A bypass feature. If you just need modules ocasionallly, you have to "build around them". E.g. Alt-clicking could be used so the MIDI or Audio signal bypasses a part. Should also be visible (greyed out).

3)

Grouping/Folders, so you can quickly duplicate a set of connected modules.

[Wintermute]

4)

"Replace by" in the context menu of VSTi's, so you can quickly swap synths without having to rewire.

5)

The left part of the File Open/Save Dialog boxes (which shows the folders) should be resizable. Currently it's hard to see where you are when you dive deep into a folder structure.

Be able to delay midi output to match latency os soundcard

[farlukar]

Multiple midi outputs

external sync in the two way : Master and Slave

[Amberience]

A tracker component similar to Fasttracker or Octamed.

[quincy]

1. "boxing" of layouts into new comps, in a synthedit style. Modularity to the max!

2. auto-fit samples to certain number of beats in audio comp, for easy mix and match of drum loops etc.

3. Horizontal zoom on waveform display in audio comp, so we can be more precise with envelope editing. eg. fine tuning of attack/decay on drum hits cut from a loop.

Cheers

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\.

Some suggestions (sorry for my poor english) :

- a rack component where we can put effects (for easy insert effects) , this component could be cut/copy/past also the effects in the rack;

- in the piano-roll :

* see the note that I play with my MIDI controller ;
* resizable velocity pane in the piano-roll ;
* a +/- button for zooming (when the windows is in the border of the screen, it's difficult to zoom!).

a MIDI/CC transformer object (though it IS possible through the "parameter" menu, an object is crucial for control that isn't VST(i) specific

a MIDI/CC scaler object (NOT min/max, as in parameter menu...a true scaler)

a MIDI/CC filter object (damn, I'd LOVE to filter out aftertouch!)

a user-definible "velocity curve" object - THE HOLY GRAIL of MIDI percussion,
especially when coupled with a MIDI scaler!

perhaps an object that is specific to Program/Patch Changes (so different MIDI inputs can trigger patch changes in different VST(i)s

with a MIDI Transformer and a MIDI Scaler implemented, I'd EASILY have 5 more people jump into the registration boat!...with a Velocity Curve object,
I'd offer my first-born!

cheers

See the hints and tips sticky for a similar thing.

(already suggested, of course, but here goes...)

1. Note audition! Notes are trigged when inserted from computer keyboard as well as when they're transposed. Just like in Cubase, Logic, various trackers... Everywhere else .

2. 32-bit VST automation from envelopes in eXT.

3. VST automation forwarding from VST-host through the 128 available, and today unused, automation parameters. Automation could be done in VST-host and then forwarded to a plugin in eXT through an "automation matrix" which has been suggested before.

(4. Tracker interface component. But this is not necessary, just for fun ;D)

[Amberience]

If note audition goes in, PLEAAASSSEEE make it optional!!

Its so f**king annoying

But I can see why people would want it

[DarkStar]

Today's 2p worth:

-- in the Sequencer Envelope Part, use Alt-click to insert envelope points (like in the MIDI Part), double click is how it works now.

-- in Sequencer for any Part - use Copy Colour and Paste Colour to colour code parts (I know you can select multiple parts and colour them all the same, but this is another way of doing it, for example, when you add another part later on.

-- everywhere, for all File loads and saves, can a Folders choice exist and can the last folder used be remembered).

-- in the Event List, ability to edit events, and GUI change to make all event visible (perhaps only a problem in some skins?)
