Quantized playback

[Jedinhopy]

As of now if the pattern length is 64 rows. Then it goes smoothly from 0 to 64.
And if i can quantize the playback of the song. The first 10 rows gets played and the second 10 rows gets skipped. And then same again.

And it could play 25 rows and skip 25 rows after it and then play the 25 rows after that and then skip the 25 rows after it and it's quantizing playback marker.

I don't get this post. As far as I understand it, you want to play the first x rows of a pattern, then skip x rows, and then play the next x rows? Why would you want to do that? And why don't you simply use pattern break and jump commands (Bxx / Cxx) to do this?

Sounds to me like a bug report, but I have to be honest, I'm not making much out of this post either.

I would use this feature on existing songs. It functions like this:


The black color is played rows.
The white color is skipped rows.

I still fail to see why you'd want to skip every other measure or so in an existing song.

and why you couldnt do it with existing commands.

and why you couldnt do it with existing commands.

Because i would have to do it manually for all patterns.
First working with pattern 1 and then doing the same thing again in all patterns at the same rows.

The question why you would want to do this in the first place remains, though. You can use flood paste to speed pasting up.
It certainly doesn't sound like a feature that has its place in the official build, but it could probably realized using scripting once the scripting engine is implemented.

still couldnt be talking about more than 5 minutes of work..

unless you have many songs like that?

you are asking people to incorporate something into openmpt that seems really specialized.

something that would mostly only fit in your situation.

(and the only thing i can think of, is that you made a song, which you were only happy about half of each pattern and you want to jump over every sucky part. and the way you describe it, sounds like five minutes of work you want to skip.(tops 15-30 minutes if its a real long song and you new at this.))

And another thing if had to work with adding different effects to different rows. I would have to manually write it and then copy and paste it manullay into next channel and so on up to channel 64. And then repeating the same thing on all patterns.
