Sample choke groups

Questions and Answers
#1

Hiya!

Am relatively new to Tidal Cycles and having lots of fun playing with some custom samples loaded into SuperDirt. I was wondering if it was possible to create something similar to choke groups, so that each time a sample started it would cut the previous one off?

As far as I can tell if I had an n pattern playing a sequence of samples in a folder, they will all play their entire duration and overlap depending on sample length and cps. Is it possible for this to work in a similar way to a choke group on a drum rack?

cut is exactly doing what you would like :slight_smile:, have a look here:

Ah that's perfect, thank you. Hadn't made it week 3 on those lessons yet, was getting ahead of myself. Cheers!
