> There's a mental block for me with VST/VSTis (... snip ...) they lack lots of the expressiveness and flexibility working in all samples used to offer.

It'd be neat to have the best of both worlds, ie. Give me VSTs but let me control time and playback as precisely as I can with sample based

Seems like it'd be technically feasible even with VST but it's just not done (emphasis is on realtime, with VSTs behaving as independent "pedals" rather than part of a whole)

You might have nerd sniped me.

nervous sideways glance at long neglected VST source code folder



What I do is just directly sample everything and then continue to work on the sample. It’s easy in modern DAW.


Yeah thing which has always irked me about that is you have to maintain the original sequence and setup if you want the freedom to change it later

Something which made that transparent would be ideal. Ableton and a few others have freeze options which make this a bit nicer but it's still a bit disconnected

Personally that sort of thing is a flow break
