Playback of a container stored in a library

Posted

It is great that containers meanwhile can be stored in a library, as shown in this post: https://users.cognitone.com/tutorial/container-import  

Now, individual phrases in a library can be played back, including the phrases that are part of a container stored in a library.  

Question: Is it perhaps also possible to play back a full container stored in a library? I.e. is it possible to play all its parallel tracks/phrases together?

Thanks!

Not yet, but seems like a very good idea. After all, containers are for reusable textures.

Selecting a stored container while playback is not linked to the arrangement could do that. It's a heavy lift though. The whole container structure needs to be temporarily reconstructed for preview. I only mention this to lower expectations. But definitely on the list now, thanks.

If it is only possible for containers where all tracks are linked to tracks/instruments in an arrangement then that would already be welcome. However, I understand that only handling a special case is far from ideal (e.g., confusing for users), and besides even then there are complications like aliases...

So, I understand that I better not wait for this ;-)
