Recently there was some talk on #ardour regarding Ableton Live like
features. Seems to me there could be quite some overlap between
such loop-triggering and a theater sound playback system.
Roughly we would need transport on a per track (and groups of tracks)
basis (transport scopes). That might require deep changes, but wouldn't
be too hard on the gui/interaction side.
Now that is a feature I'd be interested in: multiple jack transports -
guess that solves loop-playing as well.
Can't
you extend an existing app rather than starting a new project?
I know that Ardour has been used for sound installations, how are the
requirements of a theater different?
Was looking at it, but at this time I am not
sure Ardour is the best
choice. Plus I gotta refresh my coding at the same time as its been a
while, ardour is not what I like to jump in on;) But then the
question is, from a standpoint of accepting there is
limited time for people to spend on these things, which is going to
create a better product for it, one that is dedicated to a single use,
or one that is modified for multiple uses?
Wouldn't there be a tremendous benefit from Ardour's existing features,
full fledged arranging, cutting, automation?
Not strictly for a theater system, but:
I could also imagine a central 'hardware controler input mapping'
application that allows to map events from MIDI/keyboard/mouse/joystick
/tablet to every action other apps expose. So you could for example map
an octave of your MIDI keyboard to a loop-player but the rest to a
softsynth.
like freewheeling.sf.net ?
Such a beast should support jack transport for being
able
to delay action until the next bar/beat for loop-syncing :)
that wold be awesome. - i never quite got the hang of freewheeling sync
with the F1 laptop key-mode and it opens up much more possibilites..
