It's pretty disastrous when you do that in a live setting. It also ate up one of my tracks.This new transition method lets you seamlessly transition between tracks by bringing in one part at a time without the need of the crossfader or internal sampling. It also frees up a track!
One catch: it only works for loops. Not that big of a deal though, you can sample your tracks into a loop on the fly. Still easier than the crossfader transition and the results are much better IMHO. Also, the tails don't get cut off when you bring in something new!
Here's how I have it setup:
-Tracks are in Play Free mode with trig mode being ONE2. This lets you start and stop tracks as per the quantization of your specification. Mine is set to per pattern length. You can set it to whatever you want.
-All loops must have release set to INFINITE (although this only really matters for Part Four)
-Part One: Loop mode is set to AUTO.
-Part Four (or whatever part you want): Loop mode is set to ON
You need Part One because it lets you turn tracks on and off. If you only use Part Four it won't let you turn the track off because it'll loop forever. When it comes time to transition, switch to Part Four and change banks and/or patterns. Now you can bring in new parts one at a time while still being able to modify the previous tracks's parameters.
Have fun!
(NOTE: Sorry about the quality - I realize you can't hear the bass or some of the low-end tweaks I did. You get the idea anyways!)
