Solved sample start on zone level

Hi!

What is the correct way to implement a unique sample start per zone?

I've tried the modulator approach where the sample start is set in the on note callback via setting the
$ENGINE_PAR_MOD_TARGET_INTENSITY of a constant modulator set to the sample start of a group.

Like this

Code:

on init
  load_performance_view( "perfview" )
  declare %sample_start[100] {store the sample start of individual samples / set via slider}
  declare $last_note := -1
end on

on note
  set_engine_par( $ENGINE_PAR_MOD_TARGET_INTENSITY, %sample_start[$EVENT_NOTE], 1, find_mod( 1, "MOD SAMPLE START" ), -1 )
  $last_note = $EVENT_NOTE
  set_control_par( get_ui_id( $slider), $CONTROL_PAR_VALUE, %sample_start[$last_note] ) }
end note

on ui_control($slider)
  if($last_note > -1)
    %sample_start[$last_note] := $slider
  end if
end on

Which works fine until two or more keys are pressed simultaneously. Than there seems to be some kind of timing problem as the sample start applies to the samples randomly (or maybe to the zone which fires first or last)

Isn't there a way to set the sample start directly on zone level? Or what's the correct way to approach this?

Many thanks in advance!

 

The third parameter of play_note() is the startpoint offset in microseconds. You could use that (provided your groups are in sampler mode).

 

Thanks!

I'm on it! How do i get rid of the doubled on release call?

 

ignore_event($EVENT_ID) first.

 

Ok, did that but on release is getting called twice anyway.

 

Code:

on note
    
    ignore_event( $EVENT_ID )
    play_note( $EVENT_NOTE, $EVENT_VELOCITY, %sample_start[$EVENT_NOTE], -1 )

    $last_note := $EVENT_NOTE
    set_control_par( get_ui_id( $p_high_slider_sample_start ), $CONTROL_PAR_VALUE, %sample_start[$last_note] )
end on

on release
    message("release got called" & $EVENT_ID)
end on

on release fires two times with different event ids ...

 

Yes, release from original (ignored) event and the play_note() event. If you only care about the original key release, you can make the release callback to only respond to events coming from "outside":

Code:

on release
    if (get_event_par($EVENT_ID, $EVENT_PAR_SOURCE) = -1)
 ....
    end if
end on

 

Wow! Thank you so much!!! You're the man! I would never have figured this out on my own ...
