Hi.
Currently, if I understand correctly, the Variation parameter is applied to and editable on exactly one container-and-instrument combination at a time. (Is that correct?)
IOW, with a fine-grained focus on a single container-and-instrument combination we can place a point, draw a curve, randomly generate a "New Variation".
So, there is great flexibility for randomizing/generating alternate expressions (variations) at this tiny "atomic" level.
Consider now that the composer may wish to use the "New Variation" (i.e. randomization) feature simultaneously on multiple instruments in multiple containers.
IOW, a much more comprehensive change in the composition, generated and re-iterated as desired from single clicks (after a needed-once definition of scope re: containers and instruments to be affected).
There are multiple specific ways this might be designed from a UI perspective.
My high level question is: Could we please go there?
Which leads to further discussion along the lines of: Has such already been considered, or is actually in progress? What are Cognitone thoughts on what such a UI would look like? Would discussion here be helpful?
Thanks.
