Variable Loop Position

Post by Apeman »

Hi All,

Does anyone know if it's possible to trigger a loop, stop it then when you retrigger it have it start from where it stopped?

Thank you very much!

I doubt that is possible in DP.

Thanks MIDI life Crisis for your response! It's too bad because I've got some cool long samples that would be great if I could just stop them and start back up. I supppose I could remap several of the same samples with different start times but I'd probably have to load multiple instances because MachFive would only read the last start time that I saved one one sample.

Hi apeman I'm not in the studio to check at the moment but it might be possible to automate the start position of your sample with a MIDI controller; maybe in combination with a script. Worth checking out anyway... Hope that helps!

Thanks man. Haven't delved into scripts yet. I find the interface on the MachFive so un-mac intuitive that it is sometimes painful. It's gotten better though. At least you can see the darn thing now!
