Description

Make sequence of scenes (or clips on a specific track) using midi clips.

You can use it as the Cubase's Arranger Track function, or to make more complex Follow Action.

# Similar to using dummy clips in conjunction with MIDIOX or IAC, but saves you the trouble of irregularities, sudden crashes etc...

____________________________________

FIXED ON V1.1:

I figured out a way to make the 'Exclude' function automatic! You can now create new dummy clips, drag, delete, duplicate as freely as you like, and all on-the-fly! No clicks are needed.

Just play.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Put the device in a clean midi clip and remove all the STOP buttons (there's a special button for that too...) Play on the low notes. The lower the note, the higher the scene. For example: C-2 will launch the first scene. C#-2 the second, C-1 the 13th etc. You can create a midi clip that contains those notes or even record yourself in action.

/ Make sure not to include the scene which the actual clip is in. This may cause some unwanted loops and stops. // v1.1 FIXED! No need to worry about that any more!

Especially for that you get the "Exclude currently occupied slots" function, which tells the device to ignore midi notes that refer to scenes with dummy clips on them.

Furthermore, this way you can exclude scenes without the need to enter the clip itself, by putting a dummy clip on them (even an empty one). You can also move it on-the-fly if you want.

/Choose Clip launch mode to launch clips from a selected track, OR Scene Launch mode to launch the whole scene.

/ Use the legato mode to ignore successive similar notes

Tip: try adding midi effects before the device (like arpeggiator for example :)) ) to get some more of the midi advantages...

Have fun!
