Can’t help but notice that the forthcoming host app EG Nodes https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/eg-nodes/id6466639463 foregrounds being able to automate All The Things, and is already in the hands of a few people here, I believe?

At this point I have invested several years in evolving a streamlined workflow for my noises inside AUM, but I am now frequently butting up against the lack of basic automation inside it in trying to take my sort-of live mixes to the next level. Despite boring poor old @j_liljedahl rigid on this point, and receiving a few half-hopeful responses in return, going into 2024 AUM remains automationless.

So, my question for any of the beta testers for EG Nodes: is it time for me to bid a fond farewell to AUM and learn a whole new EG Nodes based workflow? Specifically, does it have an easy channel record/ tape player AUM equivalent? Most of my stuff works on iteratively recording audio loops then messing with them. Is this something EG Nodes can easily accommodate?

If not, a direct feature request/question to @ElliottGarage : Is there an in app way to record audio in EG Nodes, a la the AUM Tape Player? 99% of what I do currently is recording the audio output of an instrument on a channel in AUM, turning it into a Tape Player file, then feeding that file, speeded up or slowed down, back through another channel. Will there be a similar audio potential inside EG Nodes, or is this just all about the MIDI?
