how do you deal with clips that start or end on a pickup?
for example:
a bass line starts on the beat but ends with a pickup to loop around again. but, you don't want the pickup notes on the last repeat
or this:
a bass line that simply begins on a pickup but you only want it there the first time
this question because each clip is triggered on the next downbeat
clips with a pickup
In the clip view you can set up the start,end and loop point. When you "fire" the clip it will start...end...loop...at those markers... see the small triangles below the loop braces?
Or...you can duplicate the clip...in the first one put the markers to loop only the "pickup" part and in the second...to loop everything but the "pickup" part...and then use follow actions to play them the order you want.

You can also make a legato between the end and the start of a clip, so the first note doesn´t get triggered again but is an extension of the last note. Stretch the last note over the end point of the loop, and stretch the first note over the starting point. This only works if it is the same note, I think.
