Hi, im trying to find a way to get a track to play a random sample (or loop) from a sample chain at the beginning of a pattern and change every time on the first trig. İ have been thinking about this for the last two days? And i don’t have any tracks left for a flex machine in my project. İs this possible with lfo’s? İs it possible at all?
Random LFO assigned to start/slices would do I think? I think you would want to set the start value on the SRC page to be the middle value of however many slices you have in the chain.
For example if you have 32 slices you would set the start position to 16, and set the depth of the random LFO to 16 so it can go positive or negative and cover the full range of possibilities.
This should work with a static machine too I think.

Yeah thats a way. But everytime it trigs its going to be a different one. İ only want a random sample/slice on the first trig and stay on that value till it gets to the first trig again, so i want to be able put other trigs aswell without it changing.
One of these might work -
And you can also experiment with p-locking the LFO depth on a couple of trigs to turn it on/off. Trigless trigs might also be of use if you have space in the pattern.

Oh I know a way I think; two LFOs, one random modulating the start value, the other modulating the speed of the first LFO and set to SYNC ONE. Use either the ISAW wave or a custom one so that the second LFO will basically reduce the speed of the first down to 0, meaning that the value will be held on a random point.

Oh this is a nice way i think that could work! İ’ll try it🫂 so basically you make hold value hold it free from trigs 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

Yeah give it a try. I don’t know if there will be issues with the exact timing with the sequencer, like if the random position will shift just a fraction of a second too late after the first trig. If so then I guess you could try p-locking rate on the last trig of the pattern or something.
You can freeze a random lfo with Speed = 0. One lfo suffice.
Set speed 127 on the trig before random change, last trig of the sequence in your case (ideally a trigless)
