Idea for 'Track markers'

By reading the posts

Dmx lighting and Changing vide loops I suddenly thought of an idea I proposed for VDJ years ago

Beside the current cue points, we could have ‘marker points’, or ‘points of interest’ or whatever you would name it. It is a point in the track with a name. It could be a simple label without any action like ‘Start vocal‘, ‘Chorus’ etc. That could be the start, then it could be later extended to add a trigger that gets fired when the marker is ‘hit‘. These actions could be extended over time and could be something like an action type and a value: ‘Beat jump + 16 beats‘, ‘Start video loop ‘my nice loop‘‘, “Trigger Soundswitch Scene ‘My nice scene‘“, ‘Loop 16 beats‘ etc etc. The actions types are fixed types defined by Algoriddim.

From my perspective this could solve quite a lot of items in the suggestions. It could be started simple and be extended over time.

Let me know what you think
