pianoroll Sampler and Grid

Unread post by elsabi » 11 Sep 2020, 14:14

Hi,
I trigger sounds and rather long midi sequences that I would like to activate via the Grid. These sequences would be within a large section of the grid, or, across several sections (because the grid triggers other things as well).
I can't figure out how to :
-Position very precisely the triggering of a sound or a patch on the grid, when it is not on the beginning of a section (for example, 14 seconds 234 ms from the beginning of a section). Is it possible to enter this value numerically somewhere?

- In rehearsal, is it possible to play from anywhere in the timeline, and that the sound of the sampler and pianoroll are synchronized at the right place - not playing from the beginning of the sequence...
For the sampler, it seems possible to use a sound dragged directly onto the grid -
but for the midi sequence I don't see any options like that!

If you have any ideas...
Thanks

Elsa

Hello Elsa .
I'm very happy to see that I'm not the only one exposed to this kind of questions!
The ultimate solution for me would be a system of sub-sections within which I could build complex sequences.
These sub-sections could be imported into the main grid and stretched over as many sections so that I could continue to perform actions without the sub-section
is interrupted . I have already submitted this proposal to the team . Unfortunately it is a big project that I don't think will ever see the light of day unless it proves to be useful for many users.
In the meantime I have found a very practical bias kindly blown by Sylvain T .
Given that the factory includes 2 autonomous workspaces and that they can nevertheless communicate with each other by bus ,
I create my secondary sequence in the workspace 2 grid (which allows me to be very precise about the actions). If I need even more precise triggers, I create sections that follow on from each other (for your example at 14sec 232 ms for example). In my main workspace, I create secondary section links with busses.
For example, my section 18 (wkp 1) will execute the restitution of a light state a and order wkp 2 to read sections 3/4/5 (which are linked together). After that it doesn't matter if I move on to the next section (19 wkp1) the wkp 2 will follow its course.
Overall it works. The two drawbacks are :
Only one sub-sequence is possible at a time and you don't have a global vision except to navigate between the two wkp. It can also be tedious and confusing to have to open both wkp each time.
Tell me if my answer is understandable and if it answers your question.
If people are interested, I can also make a video on this question.
