Hi, I've just been following the UB tutorial (Ultrabeat Unleashed) and I'm unable to get UB to load .caf format. I've tried dragging to OSC2 from both the Loop browser and from the Finder with no luck. In another situation, I also tried the "Drag Samples here" UB preset - but UB still will not let me use .caf files. If I convert the .caf files to .aif - then UB will import fine. Any ideas? Regards AudioIrony

Unfortunately not - I'm currently running Logic 8.0.1 under Leopard. Also note that the play/preview doesn't work in the load sample dialog :(

I'd love to see a tutorial on this beast.

Hi, I was revisiting March TNT with Rounik's randomiser. What I want to achieve is the ability to control EXS24 "Sample Start" position and randomise it to jump to random positions in a loaded patch or loop. I did a quick test by just assigning sample start as a destination and velocity and source in the modulation section of the EXS24. I then loaded a loop of my own voice counting 1 2 3 4 5 . Anyway, couldn't get it to work as each time the loop was triggered from the keyboard, the sample just played from 1 every time regardless of velocity at which the key was struck. If I played with attack ranges in the ENV section - I could get the sample to start from 2 - but that was about it. I tried assigning the source as LFO2 and leaving the Destination as "Sample Start" and then using a randomiser macro to modulate LFO2. No effect. The manual for EXS24 states that "Sample Start" should, in theory, allow you to re-trigger, for example, a drum loop and have it start at different points in the loop - but I just can't seem to get this working. Any help appreciated. Regards

Thanks Rounik, appreciate your efforts

Thanks again for your efforts Rounik. I do indeed use Logic 9 and have used the region to sampler instrument many times. This does work well for drum beats and regions with defined transients - and it's easy enough to go into the midi editor and randomise the generated midi notes. What I would truly love to achieve is to "blur" longer evolving samples and turn them into little "Glitch clouds". I might try and set this up using Bounce in place, flex markers and then convert to sampler instrument. I was just hoping for a one step, one size fits all solution in the environment. Save as a "Glitch Factory" environment template :) Thanks again

Thanks again Rounik. I am aware of the other tools available. I don't use them :) I do use Audio Damage Replicant. I did have varied success by trial and error and a lot of messing about with generated sampler instruments. Looping, reversing and cross fading each little segment and triggering them randomly via midi. Bounce in place is also a god send :)
