The Sample Map of The Future: Escaping the 20th Century Sample Mapping Paradigm

This all sounds quite exciting, but I also don't really get it right now.

All I would say is, I find the system of disabling disabling RR's with enable.RoiundRobin(false) and then writing custom RR logic and using setActiveGroup(int) to be very intuitive.

I don't entirely agree that "improvements" are always better than backwards compatibility - especially if intuitiveness is affected.

[Christoph Hart]

@Orvillain you can still do that. It just adds another layer on top of that so that you can implement more complex layouts more easily plus there are a few new functions that only work with this new mode.

[Christoph Hart]

@d-healey I have to check this as this is not something that I would brute force fix, but it should be pretty easy.

Can you send me a samplemap that crashes?

[Orvillain]

@Christoph-Hart Sounds great. I'm looking forward to docs + Dave's video!

It looks to me like the group += 1 is on the wrong side of the else. Because, from what I understand, it should happen when we're not using the complex group manager.

[Christoph Hart]

@d-healey Alright that's fixed - that logic is a bit convoluted because as soon as something is not zero based (like the old RR group values were) it breaks my brain, but you can thank that deficiency of mine for not having to write Lua all day.

[Orvillain]

Hey - are there any good tutorials that can get a beginner into this complex group editing stuff???

[d.healey]

@Orvillain it's not ready yet but we did get a mini tutorial in the last meet up, think it was in April. Video is on my YouTube channel

[Orvillain]

@d-healey Sorry, do you mean the feature isn't ready yet? I'll go and dig out the meet up video. I can join those in the future now I'm no longer at inMusic !!

[d.healey]

@Orvillain Yeah the feature is in a kind of beta state - at least it was last time I checked.
