Used for discrete parts of the entire song. Also "region" has another use, it's often "Clip" sounds too much like an audio clip, or a part of a They have established usage and are used synonymously anyway in manyĪpplications. I think we should just call all of them either patterns or sequences. Toby: I'll gladly implement this one, but I'd like to wait some more Suggestions for the different segment types. Regarding "Segments": I'm not attached to the idea. This is the "top level" of the projectĪs far as sequencing is concerned, and even features play/stop/pauseīuttons that control playback of the project at large. I know that project is the whole thing, but I still don't mind calling

This pattern (a C++ class) represents both the piano-roll and BB-editor (step-based) note segments. This is a "MIDI segment" or "MIDI clip" (not really MIDI, but it is an event-based note-triggering element).
LMMS BEATS CODE
The LMMS source code has a concept of pattern. It isn't clear what is meant since I could be referring to the pattern segment seen in the project editor or to double click the segment and display/reassign the pattern editor. But, if I was instructing someone, I'd prefer to say "now focus the pattern editor" and not "focus the pattern". Right, I like that idea for the GUI window frames. Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub /issues/120#issuecomment-33193622 The Packt LMMS bookĬalls them "Elements", but that name is too generic for my taste. The LMMS wiki instead calls them "segments". "Clip" as an section of audio, but that is probably a misunderstanding on GUI, you already know it is an editor from context. However, when you are sitting in front of the LMMS It differentiates the GUI component from the
LMMS BEATS PRO
Pro Tools calls these "clips", that's what I learned today in a school )Ĥ Paul Giblock think calling it "Foo Editor" Is important in literature and when Repeating patterns, hence why I think "loop editor" or "loopĬould it be simply "Project" and "Pattern"? The bb-editor is used for not just any patterns but specifically The ones that are edited with piano roll, those are also called "patterns". I still say "pattern editor" doesn't work here, because the bb-patternsĪren't the only patterns - the pieces of sequence on instrument tracks,

LMMS BEATS SOFTWARE
Was the entire software just for making beatmapped samples? repeats, over and over.įL studio used to be called "FruityLoops". "Loop" is a generic term and used for anything that loops. Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub In reference to a samples that is beatmapped. I dislike "Loop Editor" because "Loop" is generally used exclusively To it and seems more relevant than "Beat/Bassline Editor". I don't have a better name than "Pattern Editor".

"Beat+Bassline" is too long, not descriptive enough and too strange. Learn another funky words we can find in the dictionary, just becauseįollowing this reasoning we'd call the Mixer a "Mix editor'.Īll in all - we really had this discussion before. Industry-approved names for these things. What we have in the Sequencer are "Clips" or "Regions" - these are two I don't think "Loops" is good, because I frequently don't loop these, but

Patterns are for using several instruments to make a single "pattern". Let's not make this needlessly complicated.
