I have a kind of idea of an effect that may be missing but may be useful 
Maybe someone has an idea how to do this the other way so - do fill me in if you can.
The idea is to have a kind of matrix like effect. You would be able to edit a matrix like note pattern with “on”, “off” states and adjustable speed (1/1 speed which is exact speed of pattern speed), 2/1 speed (twice faster), 3/1, 4/1 etc… or 1/2,1/3,1/4 etc (slower). Then, the on/off states could be mapped to a specific device or pattern effect. The matrix would also have adjustable length - 1/1 pattern length, double pattern length, half pattern length etc.
If such matrix with on/off states would be mapped to volume of a track it would archive a “trancegate” effect. If it would be mapped to different effect the sound would be different.
For example the above could be made using pattern automation, but automation is limited to 1/1 mapping of pattern effect vs. pattern line. So perhaps this could be the same thing could be made by increasing the resolution of the pattern automation to include more than 1 change per pattern line.
I think similar thing exists in fruity loops but I haven’t been looking much more into it.
What do you think about this?
