# Creative workflow additions
# Creative Workflow Additions
These features prioritize fast musical experiments and retain the existing
control-thread preparation and project undo model. They introduce no dependency
or project-format change.

## Duplicate an Effect
Select a slot, then **Rack actions → Duplicate effect**. The copy appears
directly after it, retaining controls, automation, wet amount and bypass. It is
an independent instance with fresh processing history. Eight-slot capacity and
plugin preparation errors preserve the old chain; Undo removes the copy.

## Copy A Chain Between Tracks
**Rack actions → Copy chain** stores an independent metadata snapshot. Select
another track and use **Paste chain (replace)** to replace its complete chain,
including output gain. Copying neither loads modules nor changes undo history;
pasting prepares the candidate and is undoable. The clipboard is internal to
this session and clears on successful New/Open. Preparation errors keep both
the destination and clipboard intact.

## Compare effect configurations

**Rack actions → Compare** captures or recalls A and B. Each slot is bound to the
track where it was captured; Recall is available only on that track. Capturing
copies metadata without affecting undo or loading modules. Recall prepares a
fresh chain and is undoable; histories and opaque plugin states are excluded.
The two comparison slots clear on successful New/Open. Comparisons stop
transport when recalled, following the existing safe insert-edit workflow.

## Tap tempo

## Tap Tempo
Tap the transport **Tap** button at a quarter-note pulse. The estimator averages
the last four valid intervals and accepts 20–300 BPM. The first tap primes it;
a pause longer than three seconds restarts it. Too-fast or backward timestamps
are ignored. Each accepted tempo is an undoable edit and stops playback before
preparation; tapping is unavailable while recording. New/Open resets tap history.
The estimator uses monotonic control-thread time, with no audio-callback clock
access or allocation. Tap timing is not a beat detector or MIDI clock sync.

## Audio crossfades

Select two partially overlapping audio clips on the same track and choose
**Edit → Audio tools → Crossfade two selected clips**. The earlier clip fades
out across the overlap while the later clip fades in. Gains, positions, source
files and the opposite fades are preserved. Equal boundaries, containment,
adjacency, cross-track selections and MIDI clips reject without partial edits.
This is a linear tick-based crossfade using existing clip envelopes; it does
not move clips, create overlaps or offer equal-power curves. Discrete sample
endpoints retain the engine's existing one-sample boundary convention.

## Chord Strumming
Select MIDI clips and use **Edit → MIDI tools → Strum chords...**. Enter spacing
in ticks (1–960) and direction (0 ascending, 1 descending). Notes sharing a source
onset and MIDI channel within each clip form a chord. Equal pitches use stable
note-ID order. Each successive note starts one spacing later, while its end,
pitch, velocity and channel remain unchanged. Single notes remain unchanged.
Any resulting zero/negative duration rejects the entire edit; Undo restores the
whole selection. This edits source notes, including notes hidden by clip trims.
It does not generate an arpeggiator or schedule live input.
