My (very) old E-Mu sampler had a setting in the program edit for randomising LFO speed with each retrigger. Such a useful parameter.
Attempting to recreate this while reluctantly accepting the MPC’s limited modulation options, I’ve tried setting up a program using simultaneous pad play, where one pad with a slow LFO speed also triggers three other copies of the sample with varying faster LFO speeds; then setting all the pads to the same mute group, assuming that this would force some kind of randomisation: but it ain’t working…
Any other suggestions other than printing the differently LFO-affected samples as layers? I really don’t want to do that…
And yes, I’ve sold the E-Mu
