Hello,
I’d like to play a multi note chord using a single sample but have each note in that chord start from a different point in the sample. I would like those start points to change every time a chord is played. Ultimately I’d like this to happen while recording and not through automation.
Does anyone know the simplest way to achieve this? Is there a tool someone created which can do this or a way within Renoise? thanks!

Perhaps through creating a phrase and set up different sample offset positions and possibility patter commands?
oh interesting idea, so like w/ the phrase running you could leave out note information so it becomes a “modulation source”?
I think you have to put in a lot of note events in the top row, with the probability command Y with a value in the panning or volume column and the sample offset pattern command per track, not sure if it works exactly with what you want, experiment with it. I think I have seen some crazy instruments posted on the forum related to this, but meant to showcase granular control over sounds with different starting points per ‘grain’.

These instruments show the general concept. So, yes, you could definitely do what you’re after using phrases. It would just take a little setup. You have twelve note columns to work with in a given phrase, so there would be twelve possible start positions per note per phrase. You could use phrase randomization as well if you wanted more possible sample start positions
beautiful thank you, will take a look at the tool you created and try w/ phrases too. btw, was just watching your dsp video, thanks for that as well. -e
Another option is to duplicate the sample to a number of layers, set the start and end of the sample for each layer as needed, then turn on Keyzone > Overlap to cycle or random…
oh that sounds pretty simple, thx!
