  • AU version : Drag a cell in your sequencer

    How about this for future versions of the AU:

    Possibility of draging a cell from the AU window to the arrangement.
    In practice this would be the midi notes & controller values of the corresponding Matrix & key switch.

    When I'm writing a line or playing a part in the sequencer I often click in the matrix cells to see what articulation works well. It's nice & visual & very quick.
    However, if I find something to my liking,here's what I have to do next :

    -work out which key switches are necessary to perform in the sequencer
    -place the sequencer at correct position
    -press record
    -play the key switches
    -stop sequencer.

    This isn't difficult in itself but it's alot of operations.

    A dream function would be to

    -seize the cell in the AU
    -drag it to your sequencer track & voilĂ 

    The result would be a midi bloc named with the selected articulation.
    It's content would be :

    -matrix keyswitch
    -vertical cc number & value (or keyswitch midi note)
    -horizontal cc number & value (or keyswitch midi note)


    Other intelligent options would be.

    -Dragging the Matrix keyswitch from the matrix's keyswitch assignment box.(to drag only the matrix's midi note)
    -Dragging a single Keyswitch assignment from the keyswitch assignment menu in the control edit window. (Single dimension info -> would also result in just one midi note, & would work well if you need to control the other axis of the matrix via a performance controller like modwheel while playing...)

    I really think these would be great functions for not having to scratch head on a Big multiple matrix preset instrument no?

    Also the automatic naming of the dragged blocs in the sequencer would be great for a visual understanding & reminder of what were the articulations used in parts of the arrangement...

  • That seems to be a good idea!
    I like the feature in Stylus RMX to drop patterns in the arrange and to get midi files this way.
