I've bee wondering if there is a way of loading up say 20 odd drum loops or rex files in a sequencer and using a controller to quickly switch between each beat. I've tried it in fruityloops but it waits till the start of every new loop.
I was thinking then assigning an LFO to the selection to create a randomized play.
Does this make sense to anyone? | |

You make something in audiomulch (or something like audiomulch)

it would be easier to type "breakcore" into myspace music search.

you can do it in plogue bidule i reckon.
but maybe you need to have the 20 beats playing together and just turn on/off the volume of each beat

You can do it in Ableton Live using the legato launch mode. What you do is load all 20 loops into differetn slots in the same track, and the magic trick: set the launch mode to legato for all of them. Set the global quantize to like 16ths and midi map a key to each slot. You can now hop from one loop to the next in 16ths by playing away on your midi controller.

Interesting for live stuff (session view) but that's not going to work in arrange view, if i understand correctly.
Though you might be able to rig something similar using Live Sampler (i guess it has legato mode?) or otherwise you could do it with a 3rd party app like kontakt. No lfos in live though  you'd have to fake that by drawing automation, or using randomised midi notes as a mod source, somehow.

i`ve done it in bidule when i just started to learn it. make loop player that plays all loops simultaneously and each loop has different output. then pass them to midi controlled gate, with 20 inputs/outputs, that passes through only one loop at the time and control each loop`s gate with different midi note. thats all.

i used to do this in early abletons. Yeah it's legato mode, but with the added bit of selecting the quantise amounts, from free to 1/8,etc... it's quite more interesting to be able to just jump in freely-- the latency was low then. Unfortunately the shortcut key to no quantise is gone i think.

oh you can also do this in fruity loops by doing a sequence on the beats, not loops, and using the num pad iirc.

if you're not using it in a live situation then why not just bounce the output and load it into the arrangement view?

lysdexis: i wouldn't do it because for me that'd be slower than manually splicing phrases together in the arrange view by hand.
