Hi, I'm looking for a way to trigger the notes of a specied sequence by using a controller ala TD20 sequencer. For example, on the TD20 you could make a sequence, then you could use a single pad, trigger or cymbal to play each note on that sequence one right after the other. That way you could trigger a different bass note on a sequence with each succesive hit on the kick drum and always have your sequence follow your playing. I'm trying to trigger the notes of the lead line of a song by using only one note or by using a fadder on a controller. Could this be done with Abelton live, Cubase, a VST plug-in, shareware program, or do I have to go hardware?
THANX
Can any host do this?

I've heard something like that can be done with Ableton and FLstudio, not sure about individual notes though

This is the kind of thing I was hoping to get Jo to add to Muzys 3.xx. Using a trigger to step through a sequence like this is a really nice thing to be able to do. Being able then to have that sequence control other things would be really tasty. (That is, not just have each "note" be a pitched note but maybe a sample - depending on where you direct each event.)
I think it would need to be an MFX plugin, really, and I've not used a host that supports them.
(Now I'll have to think of a way of to persuade Jo to add it to LUNA 1.x...)

Logic can do it with the Touch Tracks Feature:

Well, here's the obligatory 'you need to get Energy XT' reply.
it can do that all you want.
you can make a midi sequence in a MIDIpart comp, and trigger it in a number of different ways. You can make a whole bunch of parts in one MIDI comp, and trigger them all in different ways.
You can make AN AUDIO SEQUENCE IN AN AUDIO COMP, AND TRIGGER IT FROM A MIDI SOURCE
and of course it can all be host syced etc.
the Sequencer comp also has a fantastic 'live mode'.
seriously, get EnergyXT, and leave all your host troubles behind.
Oh, also, it can be used as a VSTi or VSTfx, inside your current host, to add that functionality to whatever you want to use.
there ya go. i have just solved your dilema. It only costs 50 bux.
go here: http://www.xt-hq.com/ and get the demo, then go here: http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=36 to the forum for all the advice you could want.
and some you might not want

I am doing exactly this but it took quite a while to set it up. I did it using Bidule. The "programming" for it took a few nights to get the kinks out. What happens is when I hit my kick, it iterates through a sequence of notes which I route to a VST that plays bass. I also have a reset switch in case I get out of sequence somehow (false triggers, etc) and also have an input to send Note Off. I also have another footswitch that can iterate through "scenes". Like verse/chorus/etc.jespino2 wrote:Hi, I'm looking for a way to trigger the notes of a specied sequence by using a controller ala TD20 sequencer.

That part works great, the issue I'm having is with false triggering. When I play full volume, my triggers just go off on their own, even the snare sets it off. I will have to toy more w/ the settings on my trigger interface (a drumkat). The downside to this is that improvisation is kinda down the tube since I have to follow exactly the pattern. Not a big deal but something I hadn't thought about.
I own eXT so I'm curious to try out the methods mentioned above...
HTH,
