Trigger next/random midi clip with ONE pad

[Input-Output]

Hey everyone!

I'm trying to set up something to perform with the MPD-218.
I think I ran into a problem nobody quite seems to have (similar ones have been discussed but not exactly what I am after).

This is what I have: A Midi track with a sampler on it and two different midi clips.
I have my MPD-218 connected and now I want to have ONE pad to always trigger the other of the two midi clips when I push it.

So first thing I want: when midi clip A is playing and I push pad C1, I want it to trigger midi clip B automatically. Then when I push pad C1 AGAIN, I want it to trigger midi clip A again.
BUT!: When I push pad C1 and so trigger midi clip A, the clip should loop endlessly UNTIL I push pad C1 again to trigger midi clip B. That's why follow actions don't work for this, cause you always have to set how many bars/hits the clip should play until the next clip is triggered.

I tried everything, using different midi mappings, using samplers zone view, random/scale devices, Follow actions, midi input from another midi track to use as trigger.... nothing quite works...


I really really want to have this option, I don't even think it should be that big of a deal, I just hope there is a simple solution I overlooked.

Does any one have an Idea? I'd be so thrilled!

Thanks a lot, A!

If you have max for live, "someone" could do it for you.

I do have Max for Live.
So... do you know this "someone" who could do that?

Yes, drop me a private message, explain the device the most clearly that you can, and try to anticipate a broader use so it can be used in larger contexts.
I'm in crazy rush these days, but i'll try to find a moment. If you can wait a few days that would be doable.

Did anything ever come out of this conversation.

Looking for something where I can experiment with a set of midi and audio clips, and run them randomly.

Sure this has been done, would like to delve a bit deeper into this sort of thing, but need to get up to speed with MAX/MSP

you could use a clip trigger device, a midi effect rack and a Random midi device.

I did this for the OP, needed to make some adjustments but totally forgot :
