i must admid that the image i had in mind of a "volume control during the mix" was one of these midi-sequencers, where you adjust a small line. this wouldn't work with your app because it would require one line for each instrument. and then i thought of "ctrl-click" to be perfect for switching the instument's variants... well <g>.
Yeah, that's a good idea. Somebody suggested that repeatedly clicking on a beat subdiv could cycle through the variants (e.g. click = closed hi hat, click = open hi hat) which might be the ticket. Then option-click could immediately erase, or something.
what about some sort of song-position-pointer? i'm not talking about one of those thin lines here, but rather some sort of background-color, which "pulsates". get me? this doesn't even have to be behind the actual instruments, but a small row of itself. like these old drummachines... dunno.
Fill me in, can you describe what you mean in more detail?... are you talking eye-candy here, or a playback-position-indicator (which is something sorely needed, I agree)?
