Clip instances?

Hi,

I’m testing v2 for ease of workflow effort.

Track instancing (as opposed to cloning); how is that done in Zrythm?
As in I edit one clip and all the same clips instanced throughout the project change.
Even on different lanes or different tracks.

Thankfully you can actually test what I’m talking about:

opendaw.studio

To reproduce without getting out the midi instrument;

First make an ‘event’ to instance. In the timeline, add an instrument (Example: ‘Vaporisateur’); double click on the track space to the right of that to add a new midi ‘event’. In the editor below add some midi notes by double-clicking on the space to the right of the piano keys.

Now to instance that event, drag it with the left click of your mouse and then hold ctrl + shift and now when you release that you’ll have a linked track. You have a similar command but just for ctrl, and this ‘clones’ the object but I want an instance.

The ‘mirrored copy’ of the event links from any track in any channel; and no matter how many copies; you’d still just be able to edit any of them once to update all of them.

They refer to this as a ‘Mirrored Copy’… But it’s not mirroring ANYTHING - it’s instancing… I withheld that terminology to prevent any confusion here…

It says:

2.3 Moving Events

  • Click + drag a selected event to move all selected events
  • Events snap to grid positions and to other event values
  • Hold to disable value snapping
  • Hold to copy events instead of moving them
  • Hold ⌥⇧ to create mirrored copies

I was just wondering how I achieve this kind of workflow in Zrythm?

If not, this would turn into a feature request :wink:

Clip linking? It’s supposed to work with alt + drag in Zrythm but it’s not implemented yet in v2.

Glad to know it exists, any idea when it will be included in v2?

Looking forward to testing it. :slight_smile:
