Sample "Round Robin" in Ableton
Hello,
drummer and Max4Live noob here.
I'm trying to figure out how to loop a sequence of samples (Round Robin) playing a single MIDI drum pad repeatedly.
I also need to be able to reset the sequence via another Drum Pad (MIDI mapped) so next time I hit the other pad the sequence starts on the first sample again.
So far, I found 3 different methods of achieving that effect (almost) in Ableton:
using the new round robin feature of Sampler in Ableton 12.
- Problem: there is no way to reset the sequence via MIDI mapping.using the "random" MIDI effect in sequence mode in Ableton and a Drum Rack
- Problem: there is no way to reset the sequence at all, you would have to cycle through all samples to end up at the beginning again. Also there is a limit of 24 Samples (or "choices"), I need at least 32.Using the
Max4Live device "AdRoRob" by "Shad4Live".
- This method works best so far, since the device has a reset button built in. However it is not MIDI mappable which is a shame, because other than that it works great.
Problem: none of these methods allow to reset the sequence via MIDI mapping.
Unfortunately I don't know Max4Live, to fix this myself.
Maybe someone here can help me achieve the desired effect :)
Daniel
Thank you very much!
Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but I can't figure out how to map the reset button to MIDI??
However, the auto-reset works equally well for now :)
