</div></div>Just a shot in the dark here, not something I have tried, but wouldn't<br>
this be a non-issue for a one or two bar phrase like you are<br>
describing? It could simply record the notes, it does not necessarily<br>
have to quantize them or loop them.<br>

In terms of workflow, when most of a piece can be played in live, (recorded audio straight from the sampler to Ardour), i'm thinking it would be highly useful to quickly open the "Standalone Editor", knock out the phrase, including manually editing for 'human feel', record that phrase as audio, then keep going.<br>
<br>Alex.<br><br>p.s. I'm really big on efficient workflow, and using keystrokes where possible. Call me old fashioned. :)<br></div></div><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Parchment Studios (It started as a joke...)<br>
