My conductor currently has about 40 snapshots and growing, each snapshot basically representing a "song" for the live gigs with my band.

For every gig, I change the order of the snapshots representing our actual setlist.

So I think it would be nice if I could save the conductor (snapshot order) seperately from the workspace. So if the band says "for this gig we use setlist X" I just load it into conductor and keep going.

More economical than saving/loading the whole workspace everytime I think.

Thanks.
But if I think about it more closely I`m wondering what would happen if I load the conductor in a workspace that "doesn't fit", meaning it has totally different patches than the snapshots saved in the conductor.

Maybe Senso has an idea?

I can think about a 'save /load conductor' menu, probably not so difficult to implement.

But if you load a conductor which was not originally made for the wkp: nothing will happen (recalls are ignored).

That would be really nice and save me some work. :)

Oh and I certainly don't want to sound unthankfull or too demanding, but maybe while you are at reworking the conductor, there's the other idea about implementing scrollbars for the conductor.

this suggestion is not dead!
but as you have noticed, there is no scrollbar in Usine.
So I need time to create a totally new interface design for Usine (skins).
This will be done after the finalization of the vst version and a small set of high priority implementation.

I think it's a good idea but :

-It means that we will have to save a conductor file for each workspace !
- What about a special function like a bank of preset for the conductor , stored with the workspace ? In this case, no confusion will be possible with loading/saving conductor.

No?

This sounds also like a good idea to me.
