Small request: Sync to pattern playback

Post by jbw »

Small request here, for the AU project properties sync settings:

The ability to have sync start the pattern playback in the transport rather than the song playback.

Why? Because it would add another way to compose by turning SunVox into an Ableton Live style clip launcher.

You could simply have a button labelled “Pattern Playback” which when toggled on with the sync start stop also toggled on, would simply start the pattern playback in the SunVox transport rather than the song playback when the host started playing.

With multiple instances of SunVox opened in a host you could then play around with different ideas from different songs.

To keep multiple instances in sync users could simply add blank patterns for when they wanted a certain song to stop, for example:

1. Instance A and Instance B are both playing in pattern playback mode in sync with the host
2. User wants to stop A, and so chooses a blank pattern they added
3. They then want to start A back up, and so chooses another pattern in A

In other words, it would take advantage of the pattern playback already in SunVox.

Hopefully that all makes sense. :D
