Set up a trigger finger like this.
8 pads to play the sounds. And 8 pads to switch kits.
Now make empty clips of lets say 2 bars. And let them all record.
Now improvise

I'm gonna MIDI up hoffman2k, Machinate, and Conny together in a infinite MIDI feedback loop and watch the fireworks...
I'm sure they've all got built-in MIDI sockets.. in, out, AND thru!

And try messing with random pitch envelopes in those dummy clips.
I've just been having fun a bit, making weird patterns.
Also make some pitch clips with odd loop lenghts to get even cooler results.
And don't get me started on the chord plugin

Wow! That's cool! But I still don't understand what's happening in track "9 Choose kit". How can a pitch shift for a whole track be controlled by launching a clip?

It's on my list. I'm currently working on a tutorial that shows what you can actually do with all this stuff.
Stay tuned
For now.... play with these
