Sector is a top 3 app for me.
Because I set up a template with all the warps and stuff mapped out, I could then just import loops and they sounded awesome.
- A secret between you and me: If you have 32 sectors, map 8 with a 25% probability to go to 1, 9 , 17 and 25. Map 16, 24, and 32 the same way. Map 4 with a 10% probability to go to 13, 21 and 29, leaving a 70% chance to continue to the next value, which is 5. Do the same for 12, 20, and 28, leaving 70% probability to continue through. Transitions will sound magically musical.
- Because midi is mappable to triggers, all 32 triggers are available on my Akai to trigger manually.
- If you map your 32 sectors, you can also trigger them in a step sequencer.
- Watch your loops… If they arrive at the next sector too early, slow it down, if there is a gap, speed it up: Then, reimport the sample with the new tempo. Should clean up. Also, you can half or double the tempo speed and reimport the sample too.
I always lock tempo and pitch, but that is me.
It's just math.
