Sujet Make the sampler play loops like an arranger - Page: 1

Cette partie de ce topic est ancien et peut contenir des informations obselètes ou incorrectes

Hello Guys, I wish if you can help me with this idea.
Given that I have 8 loops in my current sampler page, all are set into the same group so they will not play together which is what I really want.
But what can I do if - when playing a loop A and I want to switch to a loop B - as soon as I press on the loop B I want it to switch right on the next bar.
Example: beat A is on beat 2 of a bar when loop B is pressed, so it will finish the beat 3 and 4 of loop A and then switch automatically to loop B, the same way like a Korg pa3x arranger will do it. Is it possible? can anyone help me, please? Thank you :)

Guys hello, no one has an idea how to do it :(? Is it impossible ?

Currently you have to switch on the right time manually. There's no automatic function to switch at the end of the loop

Thanks so much :). I'll keep doing it manually then. thank you

It might be something we add in the future though :)

Will be a great Idea. Anyway thumbs up for all the great work done so far. Thanks :)

Something like this does it
on pad 1
sampler_play ? repeat_start "rsSamplerSch" 33ms & sampler_position & param_bigger 0.98 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : nothing : sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1
on pad 2
sampler_play ? repeat_start "rsSamplerSch" 33ms & sampler_position & param_bigger 0.98 ? sampler_play 2 & sampler select 2 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : nothing : sampler_play 2 & sampler select 2

Thanks a lot Locodog, it is a good start, but it seems that when the pad 2 is hit it will wait for the sampler of the pad 1 to finish and then sampler 2 will show, rather than waiting for sampler 1 till the 4th beat of the running bar, because sometimes I have a loop with more than one bar. I appreciate it so much, I am not so good with scripting but I will try to start from here. Thanks again & again Locodog, you were always being helpful.

Starting a sample on the 4 is a bit odd, but anyway the value you want to change is
param_bigger 0.98

change to what depends on your sample length, playing a 4 beat sample to start the next sample on the 4 the value would be 0.75, a 8 beat sample would be 0.375

here's a pad on the 4 for samples 4,8 or 16 beats long
sampler_play ? repeat_start "rsSamplerSch" 33ms & sampler_loop "current" 4 ? sampler_position & param_bigger 0.75 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : sampler_loop "current" 8 ? sampler_position & param_bigger 0.375 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : sampler_loop "current" 16 ? sampler_position & param_bigger 0.1875 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : nothing : nothing : sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1

Sorry not on the beginning of 4, I mean when the 4 ends. what should the value be then for the 4,8 and 16 beats long ??? I think 0.98, 0.49 & 0.245. right ?

I thought on the 4 was a bit odd :p

yeah those values should work ok.

Thank you so much for your time and help. i will give a try the soonest.

I did this one, but it did not work: (I've only changed the numbers 0.75 - 0.375 & 0.1875 to 0.98 - 0.49 & 0.245):

sampler_play ? repeat_start "rsSamplerSch" 33ms & sampler_loop "current" 4 ? sampler_position & param_bigger 0.98 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : sampler_loop "current" 8 ? sampler_position & param_bigger 0.49 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : sampler_loop "current" 16 ? sampler_position & param_bigger 0.245 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : nothing : nothing : sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1

My mistake, I missed a couple of bits
changes on at the end of the 4 if pressed early

sampler_play ? sampler_play 1 ? sampler_stop 1 : repeat_start "rsSamplerSch" 33ms & sampler_loop "current" 4 ? sampler_position & param_bigger 0.98 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : nothing : sampler_loop "current" 8 ? sampler_position & param_bigger 0.49 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : nothing : sampler_loop "current" 16 ? sampler_position & param_bigger 0.245 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : nothing : nothing : sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1

Changes at the end of the next 4, which I think is what you're actually after
sampler_play ? sampler_play 1 ? sampler_stop 1 : repeat_start "rsSamplerSch" 33ms & sampler_loop "current" 4 ? sampler_position & param_bigger 0.98 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : nothing : sampler_loop "current" 8 ? sampler_position & param_smaller 0.51 ? sampler_position & param_bigger 0.49 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : nothing : sampler_position & param_bigger 0.98 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : nothing : sampler_loop "current" 16 ? sampler_position & param_smaller 0.255 ? sampler_position & param_bigger 0.245 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : nothing : sampler_position & param_smaller 0.51 ? sampler_position & param_bigger 0.49 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : nothing : sampler_position & param_smaller 0.765 ? sampler_position & param_bigger 0.735 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : nothing : sampler_position & param_bigger 0.98 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : nothing : nothing : sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1

It looks complicated but it really isn't, just a lot of simple queries and commands.

I've copied your script to try to do a 32 beats form, thanks to your script, it worked like a charm just 9999% what I need. Thanks a lot now I have my own arranger inside VirtualDJ, what a powerful software, unbelievable.

This is the script for 4,8,16 & 32 beats long

sampler_play ? sampler_play 1 ? sampler_stop 1 : repeat_start "rsSamplerSch" 33ms & sampler_loop "current" 4 ? sampler_position & param_bigger 0.98 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : nothing : sampler_loop "current" 8 ? sampler_position & param_smaller 0.51 ? sampler_position & param_bigger 0.49 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : nothing : sampler_position & param_bigger 0.98 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : nothing : sampler_loop "current" 16 ? sampler_position & param_smaller 0.255 ? sampler_position & param_bigger 0.245 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : nothing : sampler_position & param_smaller 0.51 ? sampler_position & param_bigger 0.49 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : nothing : sampler_position & param_smaller 0.765 ? sampler_position & param_bigger 0.735 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : nothing : sampler_position & param_bigger 0.98 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : nothing : sampler_loop "current" 32 ? sampler_position & param_smaller 0.1275 ? sampler_position & param_bigger 0.1225 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : nothing : sampler_position & param_smaller 0.255 ? sampler_position & param_bigger 0.245 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : nothing : sampler_position & param_smaller 0.3825 ? sampler_position & param_bigger 0.3675 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : nothing : sampler_position & param_smaller 0.51 ? sampler_position & param_bigger 0.49 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : nothing : sampler_position & param_smaller 0.6375 ? sampler_position & param_bigger 0.6125 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : nothing : sampler_position & param_smaller 0.765 ? sampler_position & param_bigger 0.735 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : nothing : sampler_position & param_smaller 0.8925 ? sampler_position & param_bigger 0.8575 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : nothing : sampler_position & param_bigger 0.98 ? sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1 & repeat_stop "rsSamplerSch" : nothing : nothing : sampler_play 1 & sampler select 1

Nice one, when you see a "wall of text" scripts can look impossible to understand but when you see scripts as a logic tree, it becomes much clearer.
Well done on expanding it :)

*side note* Djratedxxx919 was after something like this for his remix decks project, it's a shame I've lost the skin. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

You are right , when seeing it as a tree it becomes easier.
For the remix decks project, I was following the thread it will be great if it has a happy end.
For now, I appreciate a lot your efforts :). Hats off to you.
