Default Media Explorer: drag item into Arrange View as RS5k Instance with preloaded C4 Note

The "drag sample between tracks, creating new track" functionality is A++.

What's present in other DAWs is "drag sample between tracks, creating new RS5k (native sampler) track with sample pre-loaded, create MIDI Item at drop location with C4 note pre-loaded, open MIDI Editor to item" workflow.

Basically recreating the "drag sample in" situation, but as a RS5k instance and item.

Rationale : this is a bunch of steps that are manually repeated every single time, and they could be automated to be a single drag operation.

ps, aware that you can right click a sample in Media Explorer and Insert Into Sample Player on New Track, but this requires having to pre-select the insert location, right-click the sample, run the action, create the MIDI item, open MIDI editor.

There's something to be said about just dragging something in and all those steps being filled in. They have to happen every single time before beginning to create music.

All the functionality for this already exists, it's just the stacking of those steps to create a functional workflow that is missing, and I don't think this can be scripted?

Any opportunity to automate the exact same series of steps, every single time you do something, is one that should at least be entertained!


I imagine anyone working with samples would be thrilled to have this workflow ironed out natively.
