does this work with midi? or only audio? either way.. cool device. inspiring way to mess with doing comps
the subtracks of audio and midi are both supported. @dayjob
Hey! I bought this, great device. Ive been doing stuff like this for years using various techniques, but your device wraps it up nicely into a siimple little package. I do have some hopefully easily added requests :

1. More resolutions.
2. Longer crossfade option.

Im imagining whole bar or two bar selections with really long crossfades for ambient / texture designs.

3. The ability to lock a row.

Lets say I randomize until i like some stuff. But i only really like the placement of two of the rows. Would be great to lock those, then continue randomizing the rest until I find a place where I like all of the cuts.

4. A way for this to work on Audio Effect or instrument racks. I have an audio effect rack, with 8 different Chains / lanes with 8 Cable guys loaded each with a different preset. Woudl be awesome addition if its possible. I guess it would maybe have to be a double nested effect rack, or maybe you put the device on the first chain within the audio effect rack.

Just some thoughts. Could elevate whats already a great device. Thank you!!!
Hey @shinytheshiny, thank you so much for the purchase and for taking the time to write such detailed feedback — it really means a lot and gives me both direction and inspiration for where to take GroupMix next.

#1 (more resolutions), #2 (longer crossfade), and #3 (lock row) are definitely on my radar for the next update. The lock row idea especially is a game-changer for the randomize workflow.

As for #4 (Rack support) — I totally see the potential there, but it's a pretty different interaction model from Group Track switching. Rather than stretching GroupMix beyond its core purpose, I'm thinking this would work best as a separate dedicated device down the line. Stay tuned!

Thanks again for the thoughtful input 🙏
Hey Tejay21! No prob, thank YOU for making such a great device. I saw theres a new version, just have not dug in yet, will do it later tonight or tomorrow. Looking forward to whatever else you cook up. Thanks again!
