but heres the reformat to tired ppls version...(no pun intended either)...
...
so let's say I want to play rhythm patterns on impulse
and I want a beat repeat after it ,
I want different keys on my kbd to trigger different beat repeat settings....
so I create 2 midi tracks ,
i drag impulse then a beat repeat...to the first,
second midi track I route directly
to the impulse on the first track.
I drag some clips with impulse patterns over to he 2d track..
3 patterns which I map to keys W/S/X
...quantize 'global' (I like to mess around with the global quantize)
..to play the parts on the impulse.....
...onwards...
I create 3 clips with different envelopes for the beat repeat...
. the first one is my dry state
in which 'chance' is set to 0%...
I make all of them 'gate'
and set quantization to 'none'
..map them to kbd Q/A/Z...
now I can launch the 'playing' part with 'global quantise'
and rigger/untrigger my fx with no quantization..
you still have to press Q if you want the fx off
but you can do that while not affecting the playing 'quantized' loop...
This could be also used with racks...
to select whole different device chains...rather than envelopes settings...
options are limitless...
if you're dealing with audio you can use dummy clips in the same manner...
Routing the actual audio to another audio channel
which is running dummy clips....
I might add that gating an effect in the way that you want would have been very easy with a simple midi controller....
and I agree that there should be more options for the way a keystroke interacts with live....
Hope this helps..
.Cheers
