howto randomized clips trigger with audio tracks

Post by ahs » Wed Aug 22, 2012 4:47 pm

hi,
i have on audio track in the sesseion view.
in this audio track i have several audioclips.

1. i will play this clips randomly.
2. this audioclips are transposed down (without pitch correction) warping is of
3. i will only play some parts from this audioclips in selected loops
4. click free (zero crossing points)

what are the possibilies to archive this (i can't find nothing)

my only solution is with a midi track, sampler and chain selector for eah clip
but this is not a practical and quick solution

cheers

Randomize clip triggering in a track? Read up on follow actions as once you get your clips set up (with loop braces, etc...) you can have it randomized to an extent. And it'll go till you press stop unless last clip doesn't have the options for follow to be random or prior, etc...

At least that's what I think you're wanting to do?

i have an audiotrack in session view with 10 clips of wave files.

1. i want to playback this clips in loops with no warping and transpose down to p.e. -12
2. i want to choose the playback time for each clip individually
3. i want to randomize the playback of these clips

cheers

1. Clips have to be warped to loop. Use beat mode to minimise artefacts but retain correct speed when transposed. If you want it to be like sampler playback use repitch
2. Change the loop length or duration of follow action retrigger. Depends what you mean by follow action
3. Follow actions.
