Like I said, I don't want any sequencing in tX, also no audio recording (the exporting stuff is also going to go). Qtracktor is a sequencer, tX is a sampler for loops. I think the idea of integrating Tritium would be the best. My vision of tX is that of a set of turntables with a mixer and a loop-library capable of downloading loop from a repo (similar to the sample-databank of Hydrogen), and again with NO sequencing, since one uses rhythmic loops. I want to build in a beattracker, so that the turntables synchronise the loops, regardless of their original tempo. So the aim is to make the workflow of tX more simplistic and live: load the loops-> press play-> scratch/ twist params/load more loops. That's it. Just like the unix motto: Make a small tool, but make it the best. Gerald On Fri, 2011-04-01 at 19:34 +1100, Patrick Shirkey wrote:
