Going to post this again since there is more attention to this topic.
I was able to get a satisfactory solution for myself using Sampler tracks. I think Steinberg is afraid of releasing a Clip Launcher and then having everyone complain that it isn’t gapless.
Well, that may be, but since there are Groove Agent and Sampler Track solutions, Maybe we will see some movement in this direction eventually.
Let’s be honest, the changes in C12 when it comes to audio warping are headed in the direction that would allow Gapless.
Anyway, here again is one of my standard templates which includes 7 channels of 8 clips built by always having 56 Sampler tracks pre set up and ready to go. It’s not Live, and certainly not Logic, but for my needs it gets the job done. I have made a lot of improvements to it since last posting it, but you can get the general idea. If anyone is interested I would put time and effort into improving the documentation and fixing any defects.
