No, no dead horse here. I needed the added explanation. I will try this after my sessions today. I couldn't get it to work that way last night. Whenever I hit the key, it switched chunks immediately. It didn't wait for the end of the chunk that was playing.flutemaker wrote:somehow, I fell as though my communication skills are lacking in this discussion, so here is an example of how I use this function:
Just in the spirit of attempting to clarify my post:
Order of chunks: A B C D E F
Engage "chain Chunks" and hit spacebar.. Now the chunks will play sequentially through from A to F and automatically restart the cue when F has completed.
While B is playing, use the keyboard command associated with D; now, when B finishes playing, D will be the next chunk played. The cue order remains unchanged, but your position in the cue has been moved to D. If no further action is taken, the cue will continue on, in order, from D to E to F and back to the beginning.
There are a few caveats:
1~each chunk (sequence) must have a defined start and end, and memory play must be engaged on each one.
2~if VI's are employed on any chunk, then they must be in a V rack for seamless play.
3~the keystrokes are not cumulative; i.e: only one choice is retained at a time.
This method allows you to change the order of the chunks being played without error.
Sorry to beat this horse. Hope this is a better explanation form my end....
Thank you.
