Disclaimer.
I don't get paid by PGM, and I do buy my upgrades with same discount as everybody else here. These are my own views. I was going to make a better video(s) and post it to Tips/Tricks, which I will likely do in a later time, meanwhile I will post this here.
P.S. In the video I forgot to mention one setting for "instant placement" that I use. See attached image.

This video helped me a lot. Thank you so much.

I found that I could uncheck the double click option. If I want to load it, I can hold down ctrl and double-click to play my own chord progression.

Thanx Misha. I'm waiting for my upgrade to arrive to try this out. I have a question can I add or replace one track at a time?

Yes you can, just open the Multipicker, and chose the tracks. Double click on a track and boom it generates and plays. Want to try another rinse and repeat. Different track, just highlight it Want to erase the track, right click in the area where the track information is and chose erase track under track actions.

Hey Mario,
Yes, super fast. See my video at 0:42
Swap all you want on a fly. Any tracks. RTs or MIDI.

P.S. Did you see MIDI Tracks tab in the picker? Getting very close to what we talked about smile

Yes, I did see that. I am anxiously awaiting mine to come in snail mail.

I think the F8 function (multiriff dialog) can be put into the MultiPicker library.

But I prefer Ctrl+F8 for action (no window)
or Alt+F8 floating partial regenerator.


--------------
Personally I would get rid of F8 menu and replace it with Alt+F8 floating. Moving remaining functions to it from F8.

Control F8 is really cool. Just highlight area and hit control F8

This tiny generator looks great too. I didn't undo it though, and it's a shame to go back to these options.

swingbabymix,
you get what you get and you don't get upset.

P.S. I believe now you can do a global Undo (Edit>Undo) if you want to go back to previous generation.

How did you get the style to change with a single click?
No matter what I try it requires 2 clicks...
