The posts "automation presets" by le_kzgl and "macros and sessionview" are more important, but here are my last ideas (so far):
- "export to soundfile" with file-recorder contraption single tracks and in one folder.
-save as with "create new folder" option. Unfortunately I can't test by now, if there is one.
-rectifier Lfo (sample and hold) with timeline markers synchronisation(for making velocity-values out of other automation or minor/major scales out of 10Harmonic-values, glide pattern for glides as a bonus)
-other way to control knobs: dragging it upwards,slow movement. Dragging it to the right, fast movement.
-upper and lower border for automationlines- that's not a inflexible limitation, but a helper to set a bassdrum to the right velocity over the project and ignore the limit with the shift key or set the border once again when you want to set another important value over the project, (without loosing an automation-point). It's graphical a bracket in front of the automation-line; i think triangles,lying and standing, will do it. The first automation-point still must be draggable.
-favorite snapshots: sometimes better than to copy them (shaper-contraption), but having mulch-projects were you save them is okay.
-some graphics I would share(if the forum allows it or per mail?)

-"delete" a contraption better does keep the connections around, if they are not selected/deleted all together, like "bypass" now

-a "mute automation" possibility in the property-window (drop-down menue of things that can be automated)/ a (double)slider in the automations-window to turn a muted automation to the right value-appears when you press mute

-drums contraptions are like containers. Inside you have 8 outputs (multi-channel outputs that can be splitted by special contraptions, if the files are multichannel, anyplace in the following chain, if you want),
Further one multi-"channel" from outside for sidechain and one multi-channel to outside (i think they mustn't be more).
You can drop sspats panners and effects and what you like in there to fulfill your channel ideas, and can open/close it

-Retrigger:

1. SDelay: Cache is deleted with a x-automation, and if it is possible stored at this very point and played back at an empty flag. The sense is to restart the feedback(have a musical break) and have no long tail again, what happens if you only reduce the wet/ dry, but turn it on again to have a delay. The memory at an x to a empty flag is musical, too, for you are able to beginn the next bar with a lot of sound.

The x can be set multible times one after another to stop feedback. The one next to an empty flag is played back.

2.Retrigger of snapshots: the timeline for snapshots counts at an x, means, that you can have musical phrases and must not worry about the snapshots not being in time. (no empty flags)

Another option for this is in a snapshot automationlane, that can contain the beginning and end of a snapshot-repetition. (vertical lines) With shift key you can reorder them

-No silence at exporting of sound file:

Yet the tail is silence(+delays). There must be an option when using automation- looppoints that the tail is the following part after the repeat. It would be nice, too, if you must not calculate the repeattime of the looppoints but tipe in how often it repeats. This must be only an option, too, because someone liked to stop within the loop.

- southpole: An option for a additional volume-envelope per envelope is good, because the cutoff always needs gain, but often i need a sustainvalue without attack and decay. The pattern would be worthier, then. The envelope revealed and gets active with a button under the main ADSR.

-fill in: timeline snapshots that appeares by a key or controller(hardware)

-Retrigger snapshot: an empty flag could revers the just played snapshot. It would be like scratching(reverse the envelopes, maybe). (two x following on each other must be possible, anyway)

-Southpole: "Sustain mode", All levels above the threshold (sidechain, too), keeps sustain. Effekt: gated reverbs, suppress long tails, by cutoff and so on. Maybe two thresholds are better, 1. start envelope, 2. cuts sustain
