Sorry I forgot my suggestion, more a business opportunity extension. Your new service, training with you covering software and hardware. Could be an online training product.

That’s probably not going to happen I’m afraid.

I should really just try OctaEdit out but can you easily reorder tracks in a pattern because I may or may not be torturing myself with track orders right now

Sequencer Module has a [ Swap Track nn with… ] function amongst other tricks. (Yes, that does work between Audio and Midi Tracks)

But I know you know this :slight_smile:

There is a method to my madness… may not be obvious at first… but there is.

I’ve just had yet another presentation here at work about general usability and designing for intermediates instead of beginners and experts in our product development so I had this a bit closer to heart than usual :wink:

no mention of gain adjustment in that post :wink:

Re: Gain adjustment:
the reason i´d like to see this in the sample chainer is:
it makes not only sense to have linear chains, like: all BDs or snares, but having wild chains with some more noisy samples and some more clear ones side by side.

what works in a musical context can´t be known exactly upfront.
The problem i stumble mostly uppon is the gain relation of one sample vs. the others.
most often would a correction of the gain of specific samples within the samplechain do the job,
taking all the hassle of p-locking gain off of the user ( anyway since the OT IMHO lacks one level of gain adjustment, “Velocity vs. Fader-(Gain-) locks” wise).

doing this work in a dedicated audio editor is a multitude of the work as it could be when integrarted in the sample chainer

For a Pickup, you have Mixer GAIN, Attributes GAIN, SRC / Playback GAIN, VOL, XVOL, LEVEL, XLEVEL, MAIN LEVEL, CUE LEVEL, MAIN CUE LEVEL. Not enough ? :content:

i know what Gainstaging possibilitys the OT has :wink:
but try to prove me wrong: (since my “real OT days” are years back)
i use the VOL setting in the AMP page to p-lock “Velocity” to single steps.
ok, now program a fader-lock that gives me a controlled (this index/amount settable by me) amp/gain enhance or decrease without knocking out my VOL p-locks on the AMP page, how ?
( NOT interested in max/min only settings !)
how ?

i refered to Velocity vs. Fader locks. ( p-locks vs. fader-locks), you might have overlooked that :wink:
i refer to a per step setting and then the Fader locks on top of that.
i´m not aware of anything…
since any “normal synth” has Velocity plus Volume ( CCable) would i say is it correct to refer to the OT as missing one level of per automation controllable gain setting ("edit: since the track volume is not under automation control) …which has been my point, just not phrased out fool proof.
