    hey! thanks for this, its really cool! Would love to see the ability to change the time, instead of just one bar, have some more options, 1/4 note, 4 bars etc.
    Would also love an envelope randomizer!
    Either way, works great, and appreciate this!

    Hi! Thanks for the comment!
    I actually explored making it different lengths like you mention, and I think it would be a powerful feature. After playing around with the idea, I had to scrap it, as it would be A LOT of work (this already was a ton of work) and it looked very difficult to get it stable. As it is working now, this triggers the envelopes once at the start of the bar and calculates all the envelope timings as a fraction of beats, so it quickly gets unstable and looses timing, especially when dragged out longer than 1 bar. :S
    I will think over whether there might be a practical way of implementing a randomizer, but my initial thoughts are there probably isn't. I based everything around the mc.function modules and that leads to quite a few restrictions. If I come with a way to do it, I will definitely post an update though!
    Thanks for checking it out, and for the feedback! :)

    Hi,
    thank you so much for this amazing device!
    I use it live in my live looping with my APC 40MKII to cut audio of the track rhythmically. Just like a side-chain might do.
    The inspiration came from V.Ictor using the device with Shaper Box. I'm using Modbox :)
    See here: https://youtu.be/zEyI54NDtyg?feature=shared
    My question is:
    I put ModBox in a Rack with several chains, so I can always cut new rhythms. I put it on all my live looping tracks. But this demands a lot of CPU, unfortunately... Is there any way to have the same cutting of audio in different rhythms effect, but more CPU friendly?
    Cheers!
