Hi Andres, I was thinking that a SimpleSampler instrument would be nice too. I wanted to do a bigger full-blown sampler but that seems like it'd be a lot of work. I think Will Light has built a simple sampler using BlueSynthBuilder. If anyone has specs, I can probably whip up something. For the column changes, I made it so that the first two columns can not be moved or deleted. This was because I thought that most everyone would need at least two columns and I needed some minimum number of columns so I could have something to show in the tracker interface. You can edit and modify them all you want though. If you add more columns, you should be able to reorder them as well as delete them. Thinking about it now, having the first two be static is a little prohibitive, and I should have set the only restriction to be that you must have at least one column and that reordering can be allow in any way. That also would have made my ugly code a heck of a lot simpler! Does that sound like a good way to go to require one column minimum and any kind of reordering? Also, I'm not sure If I put in code so that reordering the columns reorders note data. =3D| steven On 10/5/06, Andres Cabrera <an...@ge...> wrote: > Hi Steven, > I just noticed one thing, the buttons to move columns appear to do > nothing.
