Hello. I posted how to clip launch with the full version of Groove Agent last year but it may have been too complicated or hidden.
This is a concise revisit it as I would welcome & appreciate some input & videos from experts content creators etc
Samplers
There are some samplers what can chromatically record and assign audio from any source to a pad or key in the least amount of steps. Studio One has SampleOne XT and Steinberg has the pro version of Groove Agent. Both samplers use a gate and threshold to activate recording,
A third party midi plugin is used as a substitute for the gate / threshold component as it’s time based and more flexible.
Plug in details
All effects on the upper half of this image are free.
Workflow
Create an audio track and a group track & insert the noise gate on the group track.
Create a midi track and assign your midi input device to the noise gate.
The sampler.
Assign the group track as the input source to the sampler & lower the threshold to the gate. Assign the starting root note to the drum pad.
Recording.
A midi note is transmitted which activates the noise gate. The sampler records & assigns the audio to the pad. The midi note can be sustained to cater to what you are triggering or looping & will repeat on the following loop cycle
Summary
A midi controlled noise gate or enveloper shaper is used to decouple the recording mechanism in the sampler. The sampler will auto populate it’s pads etc when it receives an audio signal.
The midi note of the user manually activating the gate is recorded.
