I've previously had a simpler-track play a sample with midi from another simpler. This was to layer different snare sounds. They were in a group - not that I think it has any importance.

I now wish to make a simpler trigger a sample with input from an impulse sub-track. I think the problem is that the sub-track is not a midi-instrument.
The way I see it, the oppurtune goal would be getting midi in from a subtrack in impulse.

Aren't you guys supposed to be really smart

Let me know if I haven't made it clear or if anyody knows whether it is impossible.

set midi input to receive from the impulse track..set monitor to 'in'

That's not the answer as that is what the sub-track already does. I wish for a simpler to receive the signal from a sub-track and trigger the sample from that.

ok...I didn't quite understand yet...
if so then you need something to "translate" audio impulses to midi messages
something like this :

Now why did I not know this plug-in? He makes great plugs.

Will definetely take a look at this and thanks!
