Well firstly, the different loop points for start/end has already been implemented in master. Secondly, your idea, as far as I understand it, is to play the sampletrack from the start, and when we come to the loop points, record it into a "virtual sampletrack"... presumably so that this can then be used to help you play the sampletrack as the background when you're working on a pattern in piano roll. Well, the problem with this is, that the implementation it would require would be just about as complex as the changes required for implementing sampletrack functionality properly. Even if it could be done in somewhat slightly simpler means, it would still be far too complex to start implementing now for 1.1. The feature freeze is on and we just have to accept that... we have enough "major" features for this release. (Major in the sense of complexity, not in the sense of how useful they are.) So we'd have to postpone this for 1.2, and since we can just work on the full sampletrack implementation for 1.2 in any case, it makes no sense to do this stopgap measure, because we can just go for the full prize all at once. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Time is money.
