Transfuser Tip
Here's a way I've been using Transfuser that I haven't seen mentioned much elsewhere. One of best features of Transfuser is that you can create of up 12 variations for each module you have installed. These can be triggered by assigned midi notes C1, C#1, D1...etc... that's the little keyboard on the lower left of the Transfuser screen. So, try this:
1. Instantiate Transfuser on an PT Instrument track 2. Create separate MIDI tracks underneath that for as many modules as you have active in Transfuser 3. On each module in Transfuser you can assign a MIDI input channel at the top left of the module. Set those. 4. Set the MIDI out of the MIDI tracks to route the MIDI of those tracks to the correct modules. Now, the fun begins. Solo a module and click on C1 on the bottom right keyboard icon to play the main sequence for that module. Some of the included loops have variations already included. Some don't. Doesn't matter. You can use Mario to create new variations OR just edit the sequence screen to modify however you wish. To assign the modified sequence to a new MIDI note, just click where it says "copy" by the little keyboard, then click on the note where you want to save it, and then click on "save'. Do this for as many variations of that modules sequence as you wish up to 12 in all. Now, draw or play in with your midi controller the notes to trigger the sequences in whatever order you wish. This will provide cool variations and take the "loopiness" out of the loops by providing interesting variations. You can also play with the MIDI trigger note lengths...use quarter notes, or half notes instead of whole notes or several measures. this can create interesting stop/stop or even stutter effects if you wish. So if you have, say, 10 modules, and each has 10 variations, that's 10^10th power possible combinations. More than you could ever explore in a lifetime! Using the MIDI tracks to trigger the modules this way gives you a lot more control over the entire sequence and when parts come in and out.

I know it seems like a lot of extra steps but remember, AAX is much more stable platform, so losing the immediate drag and drop is not necessarily a negative. Secondly, though, by exporting clips to a file, you begin to build your own little library of clips and don't have to hunt around every time, which in the long run will save you some time. Hope that helps, and good luck!

Re: Transfuser Tip
Ps
Don't forget that holding shift control lets you assign multiples out from one midi track. I.e. If all you moded modules on different midi channels although separate clips on separate tracks is more flexible for placements variations.

Re: Transfuser Tip
I'm not sure what you're trying to say? Can you say that in a different way? Thanks.

Re: Transfuser Tip
No so much for changing your nice layout but doubling up sets of 12 or doubling outs to other modules.
Say one MIDI track goes out to Midi Ch 1. If you hold the shift plus control keys you can append/select another midi channel or device. i.e. Midi track out to Midi ch 1 and 2 This also works for audio outs,
