Possible?
Replace instead of delete and insert.
Replace command
This is from my understanding not possible. I did not miss this yet, could be niceā¦

Argh. I wish you didnāt tell me it was in Audiomulch. 
Now I have to delete this upcoming replace command.

Yeah, of all the O|D principles this is the one I donāt understand the most, there are lots of cases of Multiple Discovery:
I mean if you take it to itās logical conclusion then it is extremely rare for anything to be really ānewā itās all just development based on previous ideas or variations on a theme.
Reduce it to absurdity and I would question why the VCA unit exists in the 301 
While I understand the notion that the development should be based on first principles and that this is a good thing, I think it is totally valid to take ideas from other things and develop them and a bit odd to abandon something just because itās been implemented by someone else somewhere. Olivier from Mutable Instruments does this a lot too and itās a shame the world is denied these variants because of ā¦ erm what exactly?

Of course Iām not going to avoid do something just because someone else is or has done it. Give me a little credit 
On the other hand, āX has it therefore we should do it tooā is a thought process that I have trouble relating toā¦

Oh, the way I read your previous post was that you started this replace command before you knew about the AM one and then abandoned it because of this.
I agree about avoiding the āKeeping up with the Jonesesā but thatās not what I am understanding to be the case here.
Anyway, doesnāt really matter, itās all good

I understand what you mean,ā¦if it helps the need āto replaceā emerged during the time working with the 301, then remembered the good old AMā¦

Now see this is what I was referencing in another thread, coming as i do, from a laconic, wry and ironic culture, about misunderstanding. If itās any consolation @odevices I got it 
(by way of example Sir Ken Robinsonās take on American appreciation of irony)

Itās a pretty subtle thing to pick up on from text, especially with so many previous references to @odevices not using other peopleās work as inspiration!
edit: I am a native English speaker, but my ability to pick up on things like this varies wildly depending on how busy I am, sometimes I am here and itās a quick cursory read just to follow the gist of whatās going on as a break for a few minutes in-between doing other things, when itās like that itās almost impossible!

I agree, text is a diabolical medium for interpersonal communication, the potential for misunderstanding high! In my case thereās the added difficulty that what Iām saying to myself in my head is not that same as that which Iām typing!
What can I say, Australiaās currently about 47th in global education rankings!

Arenāt you wielding a rather blunt knife here? 
If this were actually true I would be an insufferable megalomaniac. 
Iām inspired by other peopleās work all the time. Iām not comfortable going into someone elseās work and directly lifting out some piece of it for my own use (unless of course it is public domain or the use is for educational reasons). I donāt call that using other peopleās work as inspiration. That is the ironic use of the phrase āinspired byā. For me personally, using other peopleās work as inspiration involves (at least) two distinct phases:
The Open Phase: Expose yourself to other peopleās work as much as possible. Study it. Try to understand why it works or doesnāt. Appreciate it. Let it change the way you think.
The Closed Phase: Now step away. Let the details of other peopleās work blur into a cohesive whole. Create a mental space for your own ideas to grow. Continue to accept abstract ideas from the outside but limit exposure to exact implementations.
Even this two phase approach itself is not my idea, it is heavily influenced by reading many books written by creatives talking about their process. I found that time and time again the concept of creating a safe place for oneās own ideas to flourish comes up in various peoplesā process. And it makes sense. Initially oneās ideas are weak and confidence in them can be low. They need protection from other peopleās fully formed time-tested ideas until they can mature and get a fighting chance of their own.

Iām just saying I didnāt get the joke, mainly because it sounded like similar statements in the past that I also took literally, thatās all! Iām not trying to make a point or anything.
Youāre obviously not an insufferable megalomaniac 
Everything else you wrote about the process makes sense
