Push sequencer triggering dummy clips

Didn't get much love in the production forum, thought I'd try over here. Totally changed the way I do live sets, have a look

Very nice! I feel much better about using M4L to accomplish these things than midi loop back trickery. The step sequencer is the icing on the cake!!

I can see being able to 'arrange' sequences of audio clips via this method. Perhaps with the step sequencer set to massively high quantization values??

You could even do things like, Drum Rack row equals instrument beats, bass, lead etc., and Drum Rack vertical row equals variation/part.

Or, use the fx example you showed, in conjunction with an Arpeggiator haha .....especially the Arpeggiator with small amounts of note length, and an additional Note Off plug ALSO triggering notes. Mix that with the Swing parameter, automate Length, and the note ons and offs clash into each other.

Thank you for inspiring me :D

And if really like to check out that m4l patch!

Hi Tom. I'm not that familiar with M4L yet but I wanted to ask what device/component are you using that allows you to sequence other clips from a MIDI clip?

great stuff. Loving the look of your live set, gonna have to get experimenting!

sequencing dummy clips is giving some good results, Could you use same clip launching technique to chop up and resequence audio clips?

but would be cool if more than one note could be displayed on seq...

... could record dummy clips with note triggers also...

inspiring video there
big ups
