[Draft discussion] A type of clip that includes multiple variations

[icaria36]

Thank you for the mockup! Now I understand what you mean.

However, couldn’t be what you are describing a combination of the Clip Launcher and Alias clips / Linked clips ?

@AndyT

So I have a clip(in the case for the drum machine). The clip contains 3 patterns called
001 - Intro Pattern
002 - Easy Beat Pattern
003 - Easy Beat Pattern /Fill

This could be one track with a Drum Machine and three scenes in the Clip Launcher.

@AndyT

It will achieve something similar to the alias clips on the arrangement by allowing a single edit of the pattern to update all the places it is used.

Yes, each of the clips in the Clip Launcher could have their alias/linked clips in the arranger (if/when this feature is implemented).

@AndyT

The additional benefit is being able to save a single clip to a library with multiple patterns saved in it

But this also means that this clip format should be supported in Bitwig. You mention that Reason supported this. It would be useful to know whether Bitwig could use an existing format to achieve this or they should come up with a format created for Bitwig alone.
