Yes; the Matrix View is the exact way to do this now. Cyclone could use a few keys on your controller to start and stop acidized loops. The Matrix View can use just about every key on your controller, drum pads, etc, to start and stop ACID loops, as well as Sonar groove clips. Additionally, the Matrix lets you setup keys that can trigger entire groups of loops or samples at once. Besides just starting/stopping loops, you can play one-shot samples, and have samples that continuously loop in the background that you mute/unmute with keys in order to produce gating effects. Lastly, Cyclone is only partially accessible with the Jaws cursor, and, with a hot spot set, you can get control of a subset of its capabilities. The Matrix view, though, is completely accessible with CT 8.5. Bryan -----Original Message----- From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of D!J!X!

I'm experimenting with some loops and have a question. Is there a way in sonar by wich i can trigger different loops with different keys on my controler? So if i have 10 wave files i wish to use as loops can i trigger them from my controler? kind regards len viljoen PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
