totally.
i have phatmatik too and i find it fiddly as well. To be honest i’m not using it at all now as everything is contained in renoise itself that i could need. i might go back and have another go with it though, to see if i can get it to do some stuff i want.
looks like i’m just gonna have to spend some time just getting this break recreation down.
its interesting to see how everyone makes their beats/uses their breaks tho.
using sample offset commands is much more satisfying (for me) than all these vst effects that randomise this stuff for you…
having said that i’m really interested in dblue’s Glitch plug-in, just to see what it can do - but being on mac this isn’t possible.
…
actually the way i think i’ll work from now on is to cut my break up into smaller sections so i have more accuracy using the sample offset command, and then if i do need to loop any single hits like dblue mentioned, then ill just cut these out and have them as separate instruments or something… (tho i’m sure you can still get the ping pong loop thing just by careful placement of B1 and B0 commands.)
