Check out my post:
http://fireballgames-musictipsandtricks ... g-new.html
in the second part (look for "Now let's really go crazy:") I created a kit that chooses randomly every 16th note using follow actions and legato. You could do the same with audio by changing the "start point" or better yet , putting your audio clips in a drum rack.
Follow actions won't go lower than 16th notes , so you could add a one note sequencer with 32nd notes ( check this out as well http://fireballgames-musictipsandtricks ... art-i.html)

have phun :D

you can set the quantization to 32nd notes
also in the clip itself , you can click on the "L" circle
and change quantization from "global" to 1/32 if you want most clips to launch on the next bar and this one to launch on the next 1/32 beat.
You can also turn quantization off and let it roll exactly when you press.

i meant that you could also just change the clips quantization off and leave the global with one bar, that way you dont have to even quantize it on the 32nd
