I was reading a music radar article about the Digitakt and it says the following:
Random triggers - Parameter locking ‘sample select’ allows you to have several samples triggering randomly or sequentially from a single sequence trig/step for really mangling beats.
Have I missed something? Is there really a way to use p-locks to have several samples randomly trigger from a single Trig?
Yes, exactly.
You have to put the samples in the pool using a correct sequence: the samples that you want randomly played need to stay close. Let say…
Sample A
Sample B
Sample C
Sample D
Sample E
Set the sample slot for track in the middle (slot 3 Sample C).
With an LFO amount of 2 it ranges from 1 to 5 (3 +/- 2).
You can use a triangle wave form to obtain a sequence (A, B, C, D, E, D, C, B, A) or you can randomly choose with the random waveform.
