Round Robin per sampler

[gorangrooves]

Hey guys,
I just realized a shortcoming of the built-in round robin- it progresses regardless of whether a note present in the sampler exists or not. Here is the problem:

Say you have 3 samplers and each one them has a single note mapped (A, B, and C) and has 3 round-robin groups. Every time any note is triggered, the round-robin counter progresses. So, if you were to play notes A, B, C, A, B, C... then always note A=RR1, B=RR2, and C=RR3. Therefore the round-robin would not work.

I came up with a workaround by placing the following Midi script in each sampler.

function onNoteOn()
{
    local number = Message.getNoteNumber();
	if (!Sampler.isNoteNumberMapped(number))
	    Message.ignoreEvent(true);
}
 

To my wonderful amazement, it works.

Great, but I have a ton of samplers being that they are drums and percussion. Is there a way to apply such logic on a global level, quickly and efficiently?

What's wrong with a separate script for each sampler?

@d-healey Only the sheer number. 50+ samplers x 16 plugins :)

@gorangrooves That's a lot of samplers!

Put all samplers into an array then you can apply the RR to them in a loop. Think I have videos about this on YouTube

@d-healey Thanks, Dave. Yes, there a lot. I limit each to only 3-6 voices.
I will look for your video. Would I be putting the array in the mean script? Your video will cover that, right?

@gorangrooves I can't remember exactly what's in my videos :p

I wouldn't put it in the main interface script because that script should be deferred and round robin will need to be real-time. So add another script for the RR.
