Song parts with frozen length
Posted: Fri Jul 30, 2010 8:37 am
This is a feature that I'been begging for years:
Any drum machine and pattern based sequencer that was made on Earth in the last 30 years can do this. I can't see why the No.1 performance sequencer shouldn't.
For Songs that consist of parts like verse, chorus etc. (I mean real song parts and not 1 or 2 bar loops that can be triggered any time in a DJ set) there should be a parameter to freeze their playback length so that no other scene could be launched before they end. If a scene launch command gets received at any time during such a part, it should be executed when the playback of this part finishes (regardless of the quantize value). No-one with a little common sense would want to interrupt a 16 bar chorus in the 13th bar by jumping to another part (at least not in most cases).
