loop a sample but choke with slices?
I want to play a looped sample continuous but interupt playback intermittently with slices. Slices would also have to be looped at a certain measured speed in divisions like 1/8. 1/16th etc. Would this require multiple Simplers in a rack?

Only way I can see, but I don't use Simpler very often.IronShirt wrote:I want to play a looped sample continuous but interupt playback intermittently with slices.

Re: loop a sample but choke with slices?
in Simpler's Slice mode, change the Playback mode from Mono to Thru.
that will keep the whole sample playing but allow you to trigger from each slice too.

Yeah I hoped Thru would work for what I want but I'm actually looking to keep a loop going continuous only interrupted by playing slices. Perhaps it's a matter of switching simplers and setting up mutes or on/offs so that when one plays the other is silent. I was able to use the Key feature in an instrument rack so that pressing different notes on the Push 2 activates the relevant Simpler but it's always pitched.
Re: loop a sample but choke with slices?
I've found a tutorial by Ned Rush on Youtube that is the closest I've been able to produce the effect I'm looking for. Essentially I was trying to find a way, in Slicer, to have a loop play from start to end and round again but that you could interrupt the play by slices that repeat inside the loop. The launching of slices would be a toggle, hit a key and the slice is looped, release key and the full loop returns to play from loop start.

Use a drum rack and various instances of Simpler or Sampler. Drum rack has choke groups. You can trigger a loop in one cell then choke it with slices residing in other cells.
Re: loop a sample but choke with slices?
Set up a drum rack with a return. Have the return receive from all devices that you want to do the 'choking'
Then have the loop in its own pad or even channel. Have a Gate effect and sidechain it to the choking return channel. Set it to Invert.
Now whenever other parts are triggered, the other loop will be muted. One caveat is that if these samples have really quiet, silent parts, you might need to do something a bit more complex.
A lot of this would be easier in Session View using legato mode for the looping clip.
