This would provide ultimate flexibility and is in keeping with the work flow that AL users expect. >> - Instant song loading (internal) >> > I also don't understand this... how could you instantly load a song?

There are other ways to get around it like preloading. However the less preloading the better. There woudl have to be a trade off for stability and performance. Maybe a config slider for setting the number of preloaded songs at one time or a toggle button on the sample panel. >> - Midi bindings for the sample buttons (for controlling internal playback) >> > What are you trying to control?

The sample button is the item in the grid on the sampler interface. ie the red square. Cheers.
