CHAPTER 12. LAUNCHING CLIPS 155

The default setting for Follow Action is actually a 1:0 chance that Nothing happens after

the Follow Action Time, which means that there is effectively no Follow Action. But now,

imagine a group consisting of one single clip. Follow Action A is set to Play Clip Again,

with a Chance of 8. Follow Action B is set to None, with a Chance of 1. The clip uses

a long sample, and Follow Time is set to one bar. Clicking on the clip will play the rst

bar, after which it will be very likely that it will play the rst bar again. However, after a few

repetitions, it will eventually come to Action B  Nothing  and continue playing the rest

of the sample.

Or, a clip can be played from its start to a specic point, when its Follow Action tells it to

Play Next Clip. The same le can be used in the next clip in the group, but this one can

be set to loop. This second clip can have any manner of Follow Action settings, so that it

might then play forever, for a specied time or until random chance leads to the next clip in

the group.

12.6.4 Adding Variations in Sync

Paired with clip envelopes and warping, Follow Actions can be used to create all sorts of

interesting variations within a group of similar clips. You could, for example, use Follow

Actions to randomly trigger clips with different MIDI controller clip envelopes, so that ne

variations in pitch bend or modulation of an instrument or synth could occur as the clips in

a group interacted. Audio clips could morph between different effect or clip transposition

settings.

Using Follow Actions and Legato Mode together provides a powerful way of gradually

changing a melody or beat. Imagine that you have several identical clips of a melody that

form a group, and they are set up to play in Legato Mode. Whenever their Follow Actions

tell them to move on to another clip in the group, the melody will not change, as Legato

Mode will sync the new play position with the old one in beat-time. The settings and clip

envelopes of each clip (or even the actual notes contained in a MIDI clip) can then be slowly

adjusted, so that the melody goes through a gradual metamorphosis.
