An idea for request? time-machine?
would it be possible to give radial ala punch-in ability to add/subtract time to audio files? EG: punch in user chosen/random length of silence or live audio in real time. This could be such a groovy way of sequencing shorter loops into longer variations or longer loops into shorter phrazes? We could as of now overwrite...but...??
this is far fetched, anyone agree?
i meant is this too far fetched? anyone agree it would be cool? :)
As our friend from Australia points out, new features are not being added to radiaL. However, if they were, I don't know if I'd add this one. It basically flies against the entire way radiaL works to add data to a sample held in a buffer.
What you might be able to do though, is set up a chain of MIDI commands which could modulate the speed to playback using the pitch time grid. Want a gap in a loop? Set playback speed to zero for that channel. This way you also keep your loop data intact.

thnx Andrew, too bad for no more development..
an ability to create wave sequences in realtime? or blanks..oooff, id pay a lump sum for that :)
Of course, one way to apply "gaps" to the playback of a radiaL
channel is to use the radiaLFO plug-in. Use a squarewave
output, and set the parameter to be controlled to the mute
switch for a channel (e.g., chan_1.mix.mute). Depending
on how you've got the phase, note value, multiplier, and
sync divisor set, it'll toggle the mute all day long. For more
um... "exotic" settings, aim more than one of the color
channels (salmon, yellow, green blue) at the same
channel. I've used this to good effect in live performance.
In fact, there's a whole portion of the live gig recorded and
released under the name "Amalgam: Aluminum / Hydrogen"
on Palace of Lights that exploits this. It's on iTunes, so run
the previews and see if you can "hear" where it is.
I'm not telling, of course. :-)
