would it be possible to add into schism a way to sample into an empty sample-slot some of the default soundcard input, please? it'd be quite wonderful, something which st3/it2 never had.

It'd be inherently poor quality, I would think. but! the lack of recording capabilities in IT was one of the things that FT2 users always seemed to rag on about... so apparently however lousy it was it must've been useful in some way. I could never quite figure it out :)

How would it work? Hit a key and type in a length? One key to record and another to stop?

(One thing I do want to keep away from, though, is any sort of "extended" sample display; that's just paving the road toward chronic featuritis...)

hit a key to record, then hit the key to stop recording.
having the capability of sample from inputs would be absolutely wonderful. it is one of the best ways to use outboard, or otherwise, gear, and get samples, very, very quickly. especially with drumkits.
no need for an extended sample display, the sample display already shows whats required. just the capability to slap in a note and play.
