Description:
Allow users to continuously re-record into the same clip (no overdubbing), while dynamically resetting its length on each new take — with user-defined duration per recording (e.g. 10ms, 3s, 200ms etc.).
Problem:
Currently, there's no easy way to perform microsampling-style re-recording where each new input overwrites the previous content with a fresh and independently set clip length. The goal is to mimic the real-time microsampling behavior found in devices like the Chase Bliss Onward pedal's "glitch" mode.
Proposed Solution:
Introduce a new Action or Clip Mode that enables:
  • Re-recording into a clip with auto-reset (no overdub, full replace)
  • Optional real-time control of the new clip length (e.g. via MIDI, expression pedal, or mapped widget)
  • Instant trimming of the recorded material to the newly defined length on each take
This would ideally allow “dynamic microlooping” where the loop length changes fluidly between re-records, inspired by granular or glitch effects.
Benefits:
  • Enables highly experimental microsampling and glitch-based performance techniques
  • Empowers users to simulate behavior of advanced pedals like Chase Bliss Onward
  • Enhances expressiveness for live performance, sound design, and real-time editing workflows
Examples:
  • Looping short vocal snippets (10–300ms) for rhythmic stutter effects
  • Real-time phrase sampling with unpredictable timing
  • Morphing ambient textures with continuous clip-length modulation
