stopping samples from playing over

Maschine defaults to oneshot, so when you press the pad, it plays the sample from start to end. When it's a long sample and you press the pad again while the sample is still playing, then you hear both the sample that's triggered first and the sample that's triggered second.

The topicstarter wants to cut off the sample that's playing when he presses the pad, so that only the sample that's triggered last will play. Only one sample will play, hence monophonic.

I'm not sure that's possible. :S

 

Set the group mode on that Mono settings page (the attached image posted above) to something like 2, (hiHats will generally already be using 1) should cut the sound now each time you tap it, now you can leave the sound in oneshot mode (example a long sub kick) and have it not muddle up on itself.
Be carefull not to put another sound in that group or it will cancel the first sound also.

Hope that's what you're after.

I guess you could have a blank pad next to the loop sample pad and set it to the same group, that way the blank pad would "choke" the loop

 

I don't think you have access to the voice setting of a blank pad. But instead you can load a sample and set its level to -INF dB.

 

Oh yeah, true,
or just copy the sample you're trying to cut & do what you just said. just to keep things simple.

 

Thanks but you've totally and utterly lost me.
I want to press a pad. hear the sample looping over and over until I press the pad again to stop it. Can you please tell me ( step by step) how to do it if indeed this
is possible?

 

with maschine you can't use the same Pad to do this, you need to use 2 Pads.

the monophonic thing is about choking. a typical example is using one hi hat to stop another hi-hat from playing. you can assign 2 different Pads to the same Group - see the manual. that means one Sound will stop another Sound from Playing, as both are assigned to the same Group and both are monophonic.

in your scenario, you need a second Sound to stop your first Sound from playing. people here are saying have your second sound with the volume turned down so you cant hear it.

so you loop your first sound and use the second Sound/Pad, to turn off the first Sound.

does that make any sense?

It does Sowari. Thank you. - I put the sound I want to loop and the choke (silent sound) in the same group then use the second to cut of the first. I'm not by my maschine right now but I can set up the loop on a sample so it plays over but not have to keep my finger on the pad right?

 

I need this, but i'm not understanding the "how to of it all"... I'm so used to just dealing with the computer and basic midi controllers that doing things on Maschine is more trivial than it should be...

I'm on the group page, but i'm not seeing where to tell Maschine its "monophonic" (that I wont pad A to stop playing when pad B is pressed or to start from the top if A is pressed again)...

Scratch that... I found it...


This is going to take getting used to.
