I have unexpected behaviour when using slide trigs with trig conditions, now I know that % trig conditions won’t work because the OT can’t predict if the next trig will be positive or not, BUT I have had some success with other trig conditions, however the behaviour is erratic.
Here’s an example describing how the pattern is set up with a 32 bar sample (pattern scale set at 64 step, 1/2 scale)
1st trig with slide trig and TRC 1:4, Filter base locked at 0
16th trig with trigless lock and TRC 4:4, Filter base locked at 64 (or any other high value, this is just an example)
The pattern will repeat 4 times before the sample loops. The desired effect is a smooth sweep of the filter base across the full 32 bars, however when played the sweep occurs abruptly (across the first 2 cycles) then finishes very slowly across the final 2 cycles. It sounds as if the sweep is exponential rather than linear. Interestingly, if the trigs are set to 1:2 and 2:2, the sweep occurs in a linear way, it seems to be longer sweeps that are affected. Also, if I program an LFO and p-locks to do the same task, I get a smooth linear sweep.
Ive contacted support and they say that slides can work FROM a locked TRC but not TO a locked TRC. This makes sense but doesn’t explain how Ive actually got it working. Is it just pure fluke that it sometimes works?
Ha! I was getting all excited about this feature, then support said its not actually a feature
