No velocity recording. Possible with a midi processor. Recorded as a VOL plock.

I hit this wall today, after a decade with OT, I was not aware of the slices problem with midi CC latency.

Why dont I use the 1.40 slice midi mode?
Because in my pattern Iā€™m triggering slices from different sample slots :crazy_face:
Therefore, I was trying this on midi sample slot mode, sending cc for slices.

Not possible, via midi :sad:

Focus on working with limitations! (Iā€™m telling myself) Or is there a solution Iā€™m missing?

Possible with CC48 (crossfader).

How many slices / slots ?

Not that many, not that big of a deal.
Itā€™s a simple breakbeat. For one specific hit, I grabbed a slice from another breakbeat (it really tied the beat together).

I will simply work only with my original breakbeat, replace that hit. In the future, while preparing samples, I might put 2 or 4 breakbeats on the same file (same sample slot) so that I can grab stuff from different breaks with midi.

Itā€™s a lesson learned (one more with the OT, it doesnā€™t get old)

Thatā€™s what I was thinking about, asking for the number of slices / slots.
Another approach is to plock slices, or add an lfo on slices, and play different slotsā€¦

More obvious at around 2m15s in the video.

sorry, I use internet explorer.

YES, you can trig slices with plain and simple midi notes:
