Offset

Can we add the ability to offset offsets?

Trying to make a random selection of ordered sub-groups.

e.g. Chan 1 Thru 100 Offset Num Groups 18 Offset Random

To take the 18 groups and put them in a random order.

The above syntax is currently valid, but it randomizes the channels inside the subgroups, not the order of the subgroups themselves.

Thanks,

Scott

  • I've been asking for a while now to have the order of the offset commands filter how the offset is applied. I will keep asking for it. Thus if you said offset random num groups 18 you would get random channels in 18 groups. If you said offset num groups 18 random you would get a random order of the 18 subgroups you just created. Right now you can get around this by saving the subgrouped channels in a group and then applying the random offset to that group.

    you have to save the first offset as a group.

    You can macrotize it

    record only group 999 enter
    group 999 offset

    and then you do your thing. Works for some offsets, not for others.

    Recording as group works, but it'd be nice to have it as one command.

    Next problem is taking that group and offsetting that - the offset applies to the overall channel selection, not the subgroups. Do we need subsubgroups?

    Also "Channel 1 Thru 100 Offset Random Chan Per Group 2 Thru 5" would be nice syntax to have.

    Thanks,

    Scott
