An “Always On” Section Group

mikelly

In song view there are certain clips, like a basic kick drum pattern, that I want to keep playing while I cycle through other clips. Song section groups would be much more usable if they didn’t have to mute all other clip colors.

The workaround is to clone clips and include a clone in every section group. But this is tedious work and bloats song view with redundant clips. Most annoying, if you need to change the pattern or adjust a parameter after making these clones then you accidentally diverge the cloned clips unless you figure out how to replicate that change across all of them.

It would be so much easier if you could just assign a clip to a section group that is allowed to continue playing concurrently with any other section group that is triggered.

Perhaps this could be done by adding a new repeat mode called “concurrent” or something. And then any section group set to this repeat mode won’t mute clips of other colors when triggered, nor be muted when another section group is triggered.
