Gate time for Cue buttons
Posted on: 07.08.2013 by Jake Vierow
Has anyone come across a way to apply a set gate time to cue buttons.
for example 1/4 note or 16th note.
Yes I know you could just hold it for that length of time but I believe a gate time would be a cool option.

It's more of an impulse actually. This controllerism stuff just comes to me randomly, it's crazy.

I'm tempted to make a Lemur script that will also delete the sample after it's triggered, that way I don't end up with a million snippets!
Boy this sure getting complicated!

Okay - maybe try saving each cue point as a loop at the length you want it to play for, load 'em all into remix decks, and set the loops to one-shot?

I have no idea if this will work - but it sounds like it should...
That's actually a really good idea.
The effect I'm after is letting track run but Cue jumping back to a vocal break for 1 or 2 beats while in Flux mode and then having the track continue back to the same place.

I 'll give your method a try and see if I can get something happening with it.
Thanks for the input!

Just learn that sometimes, these "nice to have" things, are just not worth the effort! Do without!

Now go practice.
Yeah I had a feeling that might be case.
I was doing some hot cue jumping in flux mode, it was really fun and sounded pretty good.
I just thought it would be cool for the cue to hold for a beat while I get ready for the next phase of "Awesome!".
But yeah. Practise!! Good advice.
