Using phrases: is anybody?

Post by auptown »

Just got Ethno, and I am loving it. I'm still finding my way around, and learning about using the different types of sounds that are available, and the how to use them.

One thing, I am not quite getting how to best use phrases. Especially the ones that I would want to loop, or to join with other phrases. Take the Celtic Guitar that gets loaded in the provided scene. It sounds great, and I would like to just loop it for a while, but I haven't found any way to do that. If I turn on Latch, it will play the phrase once all the way through, with just a short keypress, but it does not repeat.

And, I am wondering how to play several phrases in a row, without overlaps or gaps. I guess I could copy the audio soundbites, and drag them around until it's right, but I guess I am hoping for an easier way!

Trigger it as a loop.
If it's a two bar loop, then you play your trigger with a two bar duration then you loop that...
