Drag stringed chords

Posted

This is not at all urgent but I though I'd just throw it out there.

It would be cool to be able to drag/copy chords from the stringed instrument window into a figure. This would be very useful for quickly mocking up realistic chords for a particular instrument.

For instance a basic open E chord on guitar would be EBEG#BE in ascending order.

This would be especially useful for prototyping parts for unusual tunings or creating parts that sound as if they were composed on an instrument with a peculiar tuning.

Add to this a "Strum" parameter (maybe with a humanizer or variation with random seed so the strum isn't too mechanical) and this could be really cool.

Edit: Had some other idea for fingerpicking but it wouldn't be too useful. You'd want to pick some stuff at the same time, not always in a sequence.

That would be a nice feaure to see tucked into the segment properties (at the bottom, by Full Chord Reset Normal etc) So it could be used in any context.

A stochastic rake of penguin samples!

Perhaps a parameter could control the random properties (jitter speed direction) so strumming parameters could be controlled by values in different containers

agreed,

Then the arp could lock to the notes the chord plays, and make a very realitic guitar playing.

I actually thought Synfire could already do this, but I guess I was wrong.
