[seq24-users] feature proposal: time 'swing'

[Federico <xa...@in...>]

hi,

first of all I want to say I am very happy for the release of 0.8.7, it
includes lots of features I always wanted (and finally the
stretch-events patch! ;p ).

the only feature actually I miss is a swing/humanize/or such function
that applies to timing of events.

actually seq24 follows a straight grid, mean every 1/16th (tick) of bar
has the same duration.
generally programs achieve 'swing' by pushing or pushing or pulling the
even ticks forward or backward. (for events outside the 1/16th grid, the
timing variation is calculated by interpolation).

more 'pro' would be the ability to change the time-variation for every
1/16th of the pattern, something like many little sliders over the tme
bar....
I value it a nice thing...

what others think about this?
can this be compatible with jacksync?

I can also start looking inside sources, and try to implement this,
however I never coded a gtk widget, nor dealt with jack* ...maybe I
would be able to do a new quantize editor, but it lacks of interactivity
and it's not what I have in mind (make a straight rhythm and then use
this feature would do the work, keeping things simple)
