Interestingly long thready. But we are just talking about adding “sample start” to the Renoise sampler, or did I miss something?
+eleventymillion
this would be great for loose beat music
Ah! Interesting. Well, +1 from me 
Makes a lot of sense if you look at it this way. i thought, if one can have a negative delay on a track (that’s my workaround for a typical snare for instance), we could have it on a sample too!

Bump. I don’t need it very often, but as someone recently asked how to do it with reverse cymbals I was forced to remember how much of a pain in the ass it is to do. Definitely not an essential feature, but certainly nice to have.
+1 I am the ‘someone’ ~!

+10 now 
e.g. program drums with brushes (the jazzy mood) would be a lot easier.
I would love this!
The option to silence the pre-hit would be cool too.
That way it could also just act as a non-destructive trimmer…
will this be available in a next beta? hope so 
Great!

Nice idea! I also like kazakore’s notion of it working with the reverse command.

This is such a cool idea, would it work if the instrument used modulation macros tho? I know autoseek doesn’t work if you do.
nice idea!
still +1 for “reversed autoseek”
