Sample track: no routing to FX mixer

[farawayinspace]

This isn't so much a question about troubleshooting as it is a question about best practises for handling recorded tracks, i.e., the 'sample track'. Is there any way to route the audio from a sample track to the FX mixer? It seems like LMMS only allows sample tracks to have their own, isolated fx chains. This seems like a serious limitation, and treats recorded material as 2nd class to midi (which I generally do too, but occassionally I'd like to import recorded material and have it interact with the midi-driven audio). My workaround is to just load audio in the audiofileprocessor and assign them all to a common FX channel, but this gets kind of tricky for multiple long segments that should really be handled together.

Sample tracks are really broken and there is so much stuff missing on them. There has been some work on them, but nothing groundbreaking. Your best bet right now is to use AFP for now. If you want to fix the super long notes problem here is a simple workaround - use the stutter option: this allows you to have multiple small notes. if you want to reset your sound, just automate the stutter button off and on at the beginning of your pattern.

Thanks umcaruje, I didn't know about the stutter option.
I'm kinda relieved to hear that sample tracks is broken -- at least that means its current state isn't LMMS's penultimate vision of how to handle audio.

ehh that will not 'fit' if playhead is moved at all, unless it starts in 0 pos every time.
It is still really buggy
Only 'fix' is afaik

And without a dedicated function for the controll of scroll-speed, this is also very buggy
