Actually, what I'd like is an application which simply works like a number
of pro MD players connected to a mixing console, and which can be controlled
by MIDI (eg Peavey PC 1600). In Live, the way you drag soundfiles from a
browser to different slots which can be triggered by MIDI notes, and the
possibility to control the volume of each sample after (or before) it's been
triggered, was pretty close to what I was looking for, except for the
timestretch. I found the workarounds to be too clumbsy. Also, I'd like to be
able to pause a soundfile, or jump within it, like you can with an MD. I
can't believe the application I've been looking for doesn't exist, it's so
obvious, but I still haven't come across it. How do theatres and radio
stations across the world exist without it? And the rest of us! Travelling
with a laptop or 16 MD players makes a hell of a difference!!
