3
Creating a Group With
the Two Clips.
3. Set up Follow Actions for the rst clip. You will want to make Follow Action Time
equal to the clip's length. Set the Follow Action A chooser to Play Next Clip,
with a Chance setting of 1, leaving Follow Action B alone. Now this clip is set
up to advance to the looping clip after it plays.
4. Activate the Loop switch for the second clip.
The rst clip will now proceed to the second after it has played in its entirety; the second
clip will simply play in a loop until it is stopped.
12.6.2 Creating Cycles
One of the most obvious possibilities that Follow Actions open up is using a group of
samples to form a musical cycle. If we organize several clips as a group and use the Play
Next Clip Follow Action with each clip, they will play one after the other ad innitum, or
until we tell them to stop.
Cycles can be peppered with occasional rearrangements through the addition of other
Follow Actions, such as Play Any Clip, with smaller relative Chance settings.
12.6.3 Temporarily Looping Clips
There are some interesting applications of Follow Actions when it comes to creating tem-
porary musical loops.
