Possible to program "follow action" between adjacent tracks?

Post by AlexisCu » Tue Oct 17, 2023 12:33 am

Hey there, I'm wondering if I can program a clip "Follow Action" to trigger a clip in the adjacent track. For instance, I have a drum loop in track one and another in track two, and so on, and when the loop on track one has played, it will trigger the loop on track two.

Simple enough, but I don't seem to be able to find a way to do it!

Thank you so much!

Not natively, but there might be a M4L option someone will chime in about.

You could use Scene Follow Actions to achieve this, you'd just have to plan your set and remember that you can remove a stop button in a clip slot within a track.

Alternatively you could use ClyphX Pro to define an action to trigger the chosen clip after a certain period of time.
