Original Beatport articleTake a vocal sound, set it looping but with a relatively short loop size. Now, map the loop start position to a rhythmical step sequencer. This means the start point of the loop will jump around in sync with the steps in the sequencer, by however much you set on each step. Immediately you will notice your sound has transformed from a stuttering sound, to something much more complex. Try sending the cutoff to the step sequencer also, and maybe the sample rate too – you’ll quickly start to see how incredibly rich complex sounds can spring out of nowhere.
I wanna give this a whirl but have only gotten so far as to load up an instance of Max MIDI Effect/Step Sequencer and drag a horn sample in. Assuming this is the step sequencer the article above mentions, how would I route the start time of the sample to the sequencer?
