random triggering

Post by nitefish »

Bonsoir,
I made a simple template where I trigger randomly with a pad 14 short movies (3-5 seconds) in Quartz Composer.I can change the "tempo speed" of this triggering with a fader.This is working...
But since I can send the duration of each movie from Quartz Composer on a Lemur's monitor,I am trying to trigger each "next" movie at the end of the one which is playing.
But no luck :| ...
Any help?
In advance thank you.

You need to associate the duration of each clip somehow to the corresponding trigger IDs in Lemur.

[edit]

Currently it seems you're generating a regular trigger-sequence to drive things. You need your trigger-seq to be aware of the "note" durations and retrig at "note off".

Something like a random LFO, where each step in the (pseudo)random LFO corresponds to the length of the note . . . in this case a specific clip and its duration, which tempo you can adjust with your fader as you already have.

Less of a scripting problem and more of a program-design thing.

[edit the second]

You probably want something in there to handle non-repeating (or allow), depending on if the requirement be that every clip be used on every cycle of your loop, or not.

Joe,thank you for the reply.
talking about program design( 8-) ),I can monitor the movie position back from Quartz Composer,too...
I suppose it will be more easy to trigger the "next" movie when the "playing" movie position reaches the end.
I will try things around this in the evening.
