Multiple types or dimensions (like Health and Danger for instance) of
grooves would be good too.
Honestly I don't use grooves the way they were intended to be used. It's
just too limiting. I do use grooves as a way of controlling what sets of
patterns I want to play, but the 'real' grooves in my pieces are often
combos of several segments controlled by scripting.
heh, Maybe when DirectMusic is in 95% of PC games MS will decide to put
these features in DX14. Poor David, I know he wants to help.......= )
