How could I link the clips to follow with each other?

Post by topey » Sun Jul 02, 2006 8:54 pm

I can not figure out how to make live 5 to play scenes with the clips that are programmed with follow action.

As an example:

I made 12 different bass loops and 12 different guitar loops so that "bass-loop-1" fits with "guitar-loop-1" and "bass-loop-2" with "guitar-loop-2" and so on, and now I wanted to make those loops play randomizely so that I can improvise on top of them, and let the follow action randomize which loop comes next.

But when I start to play the "live" it behaves differently but not as wanted depending of choises that had been made in launch mode box.

a) Randomizes all the bass loops, but guitar loops stays at the clip where I first clicked the scene launch button.

b) Randomizes loops so that first we play "bass-loop-2" with "guitar-loop-2" but secondly we play "bass-loop-7" with "guitar-loop-11" or "bass-loop-9" with "guitar-loop-4"

So which way it is possible to make whole scenes to work under the same follow action.

Or in other words:

Mix them together?

I dunno.
Suit #1: I mean, have you got any insight as to why a bright boy like this would jeopardize the lives of millions?
Suit #2: No, sir, he says he does this sort of thing for fun.

random follow actions on a separate "control" track, with dummy clips which fire the appropriate sets of clips on the other tracks (?)
