you don't need to chop up any of the clips, you can just copy them down and change the start/stop points in the clip. so that they all come together like puzzle pieces for the full loop.
Yeah, I found that out too now... but still it's not a nice workflow. Do you have any alternative workflows? Maybe just one sample that is triggered by a row of dummyclips with envelopes for the sample offset? Is there an option to work with that?
hmm. i see what you are saying but i wouldn't know how to do it. i dont think live has "dummy clip" capabilities on its own, sounds like something you could do in M4L.

the monome apps that you can run with the monomulator and max msp runtime (not M4L) will automatically cut the sample into 8 parts though. but again, it takes up the whole control surface but you will get the benefit of the horizontal action.

you can really do a lot even without those apps though, just takes some preproduction time.
