Therefore my question is: would it be feasible to add an 'offset' control to the drum kit editor? It could control the time before/after the downbeat that the sample would start. This would enable the user to have full control over where in the specific sample the downbeat is.
This is a great idea. I'll add it to the todo list. As we briefly discussed, such a facility would probably be of interest to people using weird samples (e.g. reversed guitar sounds or whatever) that "reverse- decay" upto the down-beat. This will pose an interesting design problem since sounds will have to be schedule-able earlier than they appear in the score (e.g. in theory a given instrument might be placed in bar 3, but would actually have to start playing in bar 1, or conceivably even before the beginning of the song?!). -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
