LFO to slice advancement

So I’m on a mission to understand how to use LFOs in more intentional ways. I tend to experiment with them a lot, which is fantastic, but often when I want to use them to achieve something particular I find it more difficult.

Here’s what I’m struggling with: How would one use an LFO to advance to the next slice in a sample chain on each trig?

So… on each Trig, use a LFO to increase the Slice for that Trig?

Yeah, say I have 12 slices. Trig one = slice one, trig 2 = slice 2, etc. Not sure what happens at trig 13 though :thinking:

I know I could just p-lock it but I’m looking for more procedural techniques

:sleeping_bed: I used it a lot, yesterday too. I can develop later. This can be used for timestrech / pitch shift, granular fx…

With Start, one bar loop sample :
START = 64
Lfo > START / SAW / 1X / SYNC TRIG / 127 / 64

With Slices, one bar loop sample, 16 slices
SLICE = 9
Lfo > START / SAW / 1X? / SYNC TRIG / 127? / 16

Not sure about speed / multiplier, adjust by ear.
With Slices, Depth has to be multiplied by 2 to correspond. Speed depends on loop length.

You can place trigs at each step, eventually more, less, with trig counts, retrig, and the sample will be played sync.

Used here.

Interesting. I will try this out tomorrow. Thanks!

This is possible only if slices have equal length equal and trigs a equally spaced, or with lfo designer.
