different pattern length

[inemuri1985]

hi, i was going to post this in feature request, but thought i could ask here first.

would it be possible for open mpt to support different length of channels? like a channel with 5 length and one with 16 and so on. is this difficult to do, or can this be emulated in some way?

another thing that would be awesome (for me anyway!) would be a record button in the vst instruments that records what you play and send it to specified folder as wav. this would be nice for creating samples from your vst instruments.

No, per-channel pattern lengths are unfortunately not in the scope of the project at the moment.
However, freezing VST instruments to samples is already on the to-do list and might happen sooner or later.

ok cool

freezing a vst instrument to samples is awesome, but it cannot freeze something that is not in the step sequencer if i understand correctly?

i mean, to freeze something it has to be plotted in? i was thinking of something that records vst output live. i have used voxengo recorder for this, and it works fine, but is of course many clicks to set up.

thanks

Yes, that is basically what's missing and what I want to implement at some point.

If you just want to record a random melody from a VST, you could of course always just do some live recording into the pattern editor and then render it to WAV.

thats true. didnt think of that.
