That's not a bad idea; I could see it being useful to be able to schedule playback of different sections, for example, by triggering them via keys on a regular MIDI keyboard controller. This is starting to get into the realm of real-time sequencing, which is slightly astray from DB's current main focus, but something worth keeping in my mind.
Not to drag DB away from it's main focus, but I was wondering again whether anyone was having much success in triggering live, on the fly sequencing from DB? I started wondering about this only because I've got a band rehersal that the drummer can't make, and though I can easily use Doggiebox to play back drums for songs on which I used DB to do the drums for the demo, I haven't got anything else more than basic boom-chick patterns that I can use. I though it would be cool if one could some rhythm and fill sections that could have, say, keyboard characters assigned to them. Then I could get, say, the singer to press a, a, a for verse pattern, then b for fill pattern, then over to c, c, c for chorus pattern etc. Dumb but easy :) Control from a Midi device would be more sensible, but yeah, any of this does get into the realm of realtime sequencing! But weren't there some users who were using some Midi pedals to do something like this, or at least to control the tempo in a tap-tempo kind of arrangement?
