Trying to wrap my head around this.
I have a Tom controller and I want the rim tip to switch through a set of sequencers with samples that live on a master sequencer. I need these samples in each of the sequencers to be played only by the rim tip of the floor. Switching through different sets of notes via the tom rim.
So rim tip of floor plays notes, and rim tip of tom should switch through the sequencers (holding those notes) by the master. Maybe this isn’t the best approach?
Here is what I am actually doing that isn’t working:
Layer 1
Tom drum pad → master sequencer on rim tip → note sequencers inside the master.
The master seq is set to manual with next controlled by velocity on tom rim tip
Layer 2
Floor drum pad → rim tip - this is assigned via velocity to the play buttons of the note sequencers, however instead of switching to each individual sequencer they all play from the tom pad. I am guessing I need to control this differently.
Hi @dwlebleu,
I think this kind of schema should hopefully work for you (screenshot and attached .sp2)

Let me know!
How it’s setup:
Drum pads controller with a Tom 2 input filter (I presumed your floor tom is hooked up to the Tom 2 hardware input).- A
sequencer in manual mode mapped to the rim of the Drum pads
- A
trigger macro* with a velocity assignment from Tom 1 (presumably that’s your rack tom) - set to only respond to rim shoulder and rim tip assigned, in turn, to the next button of the sequencer in manual mode.
- As many
sequencers in cylce mode as you like with repitched note samplers inside the manual mode sequencer. You can delete mine and add your own if you want to use the attached .sp2 as a template.
*you can actually make this velocity assignment directly to the next button of the sequencer itself, but I think it’s visually cleaner to use a trigger macro at the top level
Best,

Thanks for getting back Steven, I will have to walk myself through your description I guess since I get an error when trying to load the session you sent. Using version 2.3.2
Hi @dwlebleu ,
Sorry about that, I didn’t realize there was a session version bump between 2.3.2 and 2.4.1.
2.4.1 has some great features for when your ready to update. But I think this .sp2 should open for you:

Let me know!
Best,

No worries I got it going just from your numbered explanation thank you!
