Hi, I have an idea but I thought first I would see if there’s a way to do this already.
Recently while building a sequence chain, I realized if I created a track on the first sequence of the chain and set this to free with lots of bars, I could essentially record across the entire chain as an overall sequence. But, if you go back and work in the tracks you don’t hear this track unless you’re in the first sequence. If you turn on the track in other sequences it starts from the beginning which doesn’t work. So here’s the idea:
A new track type:
Latch
Free
Trigger
Chain
In sequence mode this track would sync to the current chain’s bars. It’s whole purpose is to create a track that’s available to the chain. The cool part is that if you had to go in and edit a sequence that was in the chain, this track would play from where it is in the chain. Essentially the amount of bars of the chain track during that part of the chain would play only if you were in PLAY mode with a chain.
This is equal to creating a overall midi track in Ableton that’s the length of the song.
Curious if this is interesting or perhaps I’m missing a function that would allow me to do this. I’m pretty new to Squarp and still learning.
Keep in mind Pyramid uses a slightly different terminology - at least it was difficult for me to wrap my head around things that were different than the standards I thought I was familiar with (such as, i don’t think of a “Sequence” as a snapshot of Track Mute states and Pattern selections!)
