What's the point? LMMS currently doesn't work with samples in a way that it would be flexible enough for your idea to be useful with just samples. Say you write a pattern for an instrument, then get it looping in that live-mode. Now you have to export the entire song, and if that loop is only part of your song, go edit the resulting wave in an external editor, save it, then open it up again in LMMS... all just to get a loop to play. How would that be useful? LMMS currently excels in two categories: 1) it's native instruments 2) the ease of composing tracks with them. We don't have native sample recording and even our sample-track functionality is only half-functional. If you just want a sample-looper, you basically already have that - the bb-editor. You can put samples in the bb-editor, add a bar-long note on each one, adjust the tempo and/or bar length, then press play on the bb-editor. Then you can just switch each sample on/off with the mute buttons. We don't need any new functionality for what you're proposing - it's already there... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ LMMS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lmms-devel
