Reverse and realtime sampling doesnt mix well… though playing with rate and realtime sampling is awesome…
The trick is… to p-lock stuff that “already happend” … as said: the “playhead” should be behind the “recordinghead”
The easiest way for me, to get “reversed stuff” in … is just to have 2 recorders… 1 that records the whole loop… and one that records “small pieces” … the small pieces are easilly reversed. as long as they are completely finished sampling:
let me try to explain:
on trackrecorder 1… I record full bar, starting on trigger 1.
this one I use for the trickery and weird stuff… so i can playback variations of whatever i sampled… except things like “reverse” …
on trackrecorder 2. I record 1beat of half a beat samples… If I want 1 beat
I trigger the recorder on step 1… but I do the playback trigger on step 5 or higher.
Using sample-plocks I dictate which is playing.
so on track1 with a flexmachine. First I trigger recorder1 on step1. but on step 13 I plock recorder2 and have its rate to -64. voila… reversed sound that always works…
adjust this to the triggers where you really want to get the reversed version off… and bobs your uncle…
Enjoy your machine
