Longtime mpc user, been messing FL for a couple days. This thing could really be an MP replacement, if I could figure ONE thing out.

In the MP I make BIG use of the mute groups. I see in FL, I can do something similar with the "cut itself" function.

My question: Is there anyway to make different sample chops cut each other off, but have them loaded in the SAME channel? I do my chopping VERY small, and loading up about 35 channels of small sample chops seems like a whole lot to keep track of for me. If I can't do it in FL directly, are there any VST's I can use, and basically do what I am trying to do?

Thank in you in advance for the response.
 
if the chops you're talking about are all from one big loop/sample you could load it into the FL slicer.
or have you tried the FPC plugin? it's an FL native plugin. it has 2 banks of 16 pads. each pad can hold multiple samples for layering or assign each one to different velocities. this should suffice. :)
 
you can always use a layer channel... set all your samples up and highlight them in the sequencer-set children... then in the layer channel where the layering feature is select the arrow and split children... now all your samples are on different keys of a piano roll
hope that makes sense.
now if you want to trigger a sample put a block in the piano roll and when you want it muted put in another block but lower the volocity to zero.

boh!!!
 
another thing... i totally forgot about .. there's a setting in the channels misc section. so if you click on a sample and then hit the misc tab there's a "cut" and "cut by" section... i believe this is exactly what your looking for... so cut is what mute group that sound belongs to and cut by is what group will trigger a mute
hope that helps

Bohhh!!!

‘Cutgroups’ do not work when channels are triggered by a layer channel. That's why i didn't mention it in my first post. ;)
