grannis 3 Posted February 23 Matrix is cool, step sequencer is cool. I want to be able to load multiple samples into the matrix and use the Step Sequencer to fire the columns for me in a pattern. Is that possible, or is it a feature request? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 tecknot 78 Posted February 24 Hi grannis, Unfortunately, the MV and SS run independently with no interconnectivity. Sounds like a good idea though. Kind regards, tecknot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 scook 2,728 Posted February 24 Yes, it is possible. Here is one way... Add a virtual MIDI cable to CbB (the "missing" interconnectivity) I installed LoopBe1. While not as flexible as LoopMIDI, it does not have the latency that LoopMIDI introduces. Add LoopBe1 as MIDI input and output device in CbB preferences Create the project Add audio and MIDI tracks to a new project. Set the MIDI track output to LoopBe1. Add the Step Sequencer to the MIDI track. Open the Matrix view and add samples to a couple cells in different columns Matrix View MIDI learn Click on one of the columns in the Matrix View and set to MIDI learn. Click the steps in a row in Step Sequencer. A couple of notes should be enough to teach the Matrix View column. Repeat for each column using different notes in the Step Sequencer Now the fun begins...clear the step sequencer and start programing the Matrix View using the step sequencer. Enjoy Note: LoopBe1 is defined as both a MIDI input and output device, take care to avoid creating a MIDI feedback loop. If LoopBe1 detects feedback it will mute its output. The may be re-enabled by clicking on the LoopBe1 icon in the Windows notification area. One thing to help avoid creating a loop is disabling Always Echo Current MIDI Track in preferences.

0 grannis 3 Posted February 25 @scook - that's very cool, thank you. MIDI routing in CW does seem a little limited - like only one synth per midi track. Guess this can solve that too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 scook 2,728 Posted February 25 The traditional solution is the use of linked clips, copying the data from one instrument/MIDI track to the others. Another solution uses a virtual MIDI cable to distribute MIDI data from one track to others. One can get the same result by using a plug-in that echoes MIDI data. For this method, I use one of the Code FN42 such as MIDIChFilter, NoteMapper or Veloscaler but it could be any "synth" plug-in capable of sending data. This plug-in will appear as an input to any instrument/MIDI track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Linked clips are ok sometimes - a bit of a pain when editing, but a real pain when writing/recording - you have to duplicate everything before you can hear what you intended it to sound like. I'll take a look at those plugins - thanks again EDIT: about 30 minutes later... it worked like a charm!! Edited February 25 by grannis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
