Not sure if this is the right place to post this or if I should post on another timestretching post or in “Quantising” LFO on sample start to play slices which is exactly what I was looking for but that’s quite an old thread.
I’ve been experimenting quite a lot about random slicing over a single loop sample and I’ve came out with a kind of solution for random slices while using a single entry in the sample pool.
The main idea is to use both LFOs to modulate the sample start, if both are set to square and trigger free, with different frequencies, multipliers and depths we can jump pseudo-ramdomly to 4 places in the sample. If we’re using a well trimmeed loop and set depth to an exact division of 120 the jumps will be at an exact beat position. Sample start value must be set so that start - abs(LFO1 depth) - abs(LFO2 depth) >= 0.
Then, this can be used in conjunction with the now classical timestretch approach for the Digitakt. If we use the first LFO to achieve the timestretching, we only have 2 random positions but with conditional triggers and p-locking the 2nd LFO depth we can get interesting results.
