Users should be able to rotate/offset the playback phase of clips, groups or overdub layers, either after recording or already before recording. The following two modes should be available:

• Rotation starting from the original phase zero (default clip start)

• Rotation relative to current position (i.e., continue shifting from already rotated point)

Implementation should be available both via Actions and Clip Detail Window.

• Offset/rotation for individual clips

• Offset/rotation for:

• selected clips (regardless of color)

• all clips of a specific color

• first overdub layer

• last overdub layer

• overdub layers marked as Reverse

• overdub layers not marked as Reverse

• Option to predefine an offset before recording (clip is recorded normally but played back shifted)

• Resetting phase should also support ramping

• Multiple formats:

• Degrees (e.g. 90°, 180°, 270°)

• Percent (e.g. 67.20%)

• Milliseconds (e.g. 71 ms) = Micro steps

• Samples (e.g. 228 samples)

• Beats, bars or fractional clip units (e.g. 1/8 bar, 1/16 beat, 1/8 clip)

• Combine quantized values with micro steps (e.g. 1 bar + 71 ms)

• Nudge offsets by bars, beats or ms

• Immediately

• At next clip cycle

• Relative to current playhead (e.g. now + x ms)

• Relative to clip start (0° + x ms)

Allow triggering a specific follow action when a defined offset position of a certain overdub (or overdub layer) is reached.

The user should be able to choose:

• Trigger once on the first cycle only

• Trigger every time the playhead passes the offset position

• Trigger on the last cycle before stop or count-out

• Undo/Redo support for offset operations

• Snap-based or quantized shift (e.g. snap to 1/16, 1/8, etc.)

• Reset to original phase via action or gesture

• Offset logic defined via formulas (e.g. Offset = overdub number × 1/16)

• Musical precision and expressive performance tweaks

• Ideal for latency correction, live improvisation, structured rhythm shifts

• Great for drum programming or glitch effects
