i'm personally not a fan of leaving running, looping, one-shotting and
stopping to the sampler, i think gating it continuously allows more
control.

would a start trigger not do the same anyway? if the module were to be
controlled by gates (see above) then a retrigger input would indeed
make sense.

i agree. you've put it more clearly than i did.

i think there is a danger here of loading the thing up with so many
features that it becomes a small minority's perfect module, but
unnecessarily expensive for most others - especially those who would
potentially buy four or more, interesting though many of these ideas
are. i suppose it's a matter of taste, but maybe bakis, you could
include a slimmer version in the poll?
