Awesome. Thanks, Andrew. Not trying to be a dill but probably am anyway... sorry. Off to watch those vids.

Okay. Got it. This is going to do one thing that had been causing me a dillemma which is yanking toms out of overheads effectively/efficiently for replacement.
 
One thing I did not see that I thought perhaps this would be able to do is to just drag and drop to replace one hit.
 
Like if I've got the snare track loaded into a "lane" I was hoping to be able to just copy/drag whatever I wanted right onto specific hits on the timeline of the replacer or even from directly inside the lane so only those specific hits were replaced. Like I was saying earlier where if a drummer flubbed a snare hit then a good hit could be yanked from elsewhere and just dropped onto the lane at that point without affecting the rest of the performance.
 
Of course a smaller Region FX section could be isolated (just where the hit occurs) and the sample dropped into the sample loader but that's an extra step.
 
Or maybe all the transients could be disable EXCEPT where the flubbed hit occurs in one action (like a Ctrl + Shift + A then select the bad hit) and then the replacement hit gets loaded into the sample thingie which then only replaces the one hit.
 
hmm...
 
Guess I'll just have to check it out. Looks very useful at any rate.
 
Cheers.

This thing is awesome. Sat here laughing out loud at how easy it is to use.

Agreed! I love how as soon as you start to adjust the filter all you hear is the filtered sound.

It's almost too easy... lol
All the years of tedious tweaking of samples and freqs just became history. lol

Now here's the thing:  All those (thousands of?) loops that got set aside once Session Drummer/Addictive Drums/ Superior Drums or even EZ Drummer became so easy to use are now back in play.  Who's got the time????!!??!?

You can turn off all the little red transient markers but for the few you want to change.

Am I correct in these two assumptions:
 
1) This works for drums only.  It is set up for kick, toms, and snare, not for cymbals.
 
2) There are exactly 3 lanes no matter what?  You can't have 4 or 5 lanes.
 
It certainly seems like an interesting feature, and I could see how a person might use it if they had the cymbals on separate tracks

1. It can work with any samples of your choosing. Additional categories can be added see http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3229782
2. Three lanes per instance.
 
Not sure how common cymbal replacement is for drum replacement plug-ins.

You can apply the region FX on any audio track, not just drums and you can replace things on that track with waveforms of your own choosing.
 
You can duplicate the track and make another region FX to get 3 more lanes, etc.
