This is one of my "Wanted"-features - To be able to press, say, F1 and immediately turn on sequences 'q', 't', 's' and 'd' (or whatever I've stored as my "scene") and turn off everything else. For the ability to instantly (or at the next sequence-end, with right-ctrl) jump to the chorus or whatever. And it cant be too difficult to add, can it? Gesturally, it is the equivalent of pressing [LeftCtrl-q], [t], [s], [d] really quick. In my mind, the easiest way to set up the scenes wold be to use LeftCtrl-Fkey for "store scene" and Fkey alone for "recall". LeftCtrl since "replace" doesn't really make sense in the context of a scene like that. Queueing with RightCtrl, however, does make sense, even though it means one has to carefully consider semantics - Do we start the sequences next time *any* sequence in the set restarts, or do we wait until *all* sequences restart? Whilst we're at it...Second wish: Mute groups. The ability to define a group of sequences so that when one of them is turned on, all other is turned off. Typical application: 4 sequences, all containing variations on the basic hihat-pattern. Whenever I switch one of them on, I want the previous pattern to cut out. I saw that this was in the archives as a suggestion already. The poster then suggested the possibility of a checkbox for each column (or row), so that if you checked the box, the sequences in that column start acting like that. This is of course very interactive. I could also like an extra dropdown list in the sequence edit window "Mute group: [none/1/2/3...]". Third wish: Um...Since I'd like to use Seq-24 from a rather less well-endowed laptop, I'd like the possibility to use something like "alt-graph" or "Right-shift" instead of RightCtrl for queueing, since...um...my keyboard has no rightctrl :-) Possibly some of these possibilities already exist, and I'm just too stooopid to find them :-) And, again: This is the most fun I'd had with any sequencer, ever, and I'm quite happy as is - I'm just suggesting what things would make me go down on one knee and formally propose to the program :-) /Moxie (in a suggestive mood) |
