Hi guys - I would like to simulate with Logic a similar behaviour as the one in Ableton Live where any sample can be triggered via MIDI. Does anybody know if it is possible to get Logic's play head in the Arrange jump to any prespecified position, so that it plays an audio region that has been placed in that position (and automated accordingly)? I think this could be proven quite useful (especially for automating surround panning, which is not supported by Ableton Live) Any ideas? iraklis

This allows you to assign midi keys to individual regions, I don't know if surround can be controlled by hyperdraw (region based automation) but if it does this would be the way to go. It doesn't move the spl (song position line) but i think you may get the results you want, Mike

I dunno what Ableton Live does, but the EXS24 certainly triggers any sample you put into it via MIDI... > Does anybody know if it is possible to get Logic's play head in the > Arrange jump to any prespecified position, so that it plays an audio > region that has been placed in that position (and automated > accordingly)?

Apart from TouchTracks, as has already been suggested, you could also use key commands or MIDI commands for "Goto Marker Number [1 to 20]". That'll make playback jump to the left position associated with each marker. If Logic's stopped you could have 40 positions available by using "Goto Marker Number [1 to 20]" and "Play from [left or right] Locator'. Cheers, Bill
