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:
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 ![]()
