Today I tried the new Round Robin function available only in Sampler. I am either doing something wrong or there's a bug.
For demonstration purposes, Create a Clip and set 4 for the floor kicks. So 4 hits in a clip. Drop 4 entirely different kicks in the zone editor of the Sampler, enable RR, and then select Random. For Reset set the value to None. As I said for demonstration purposes because it will be easier to hear. I am well aware that RoundRobin is for the same instrument. But drop 4 different kicks. For me to write and explain with words what I am experiencing let us assume that the Kicks are named 1, 2,3,4
Now with Random and with Reset set to None - When I press play Round robin should cycle between four kicks well randomly.
But this never happens. Here is what happens. So when I press play in a clip it cycles always the same sequence. Not random at all.
So for example every bar is 1,3,2,4-repeat-1,3,2,4-repeat,1,3,2,4-repeat,1,3,2,4-repeat,1,3,2,4
Am I doing something wrong?
You can easily hear this if you drop 4 different kicks.
My point is it is never random. Like with the 99.99.99 sampler that has random RoundRobin you can have something truly random like:1,3,4,2-repeat,1,1,4,3-repeat, 3,3,2,4 - sometimes in one bar you can even have two same hits, or one hit not being played while another is played twice, etc.
I noticed this today when I added 4 recorded 909 claps, I noticed that even though it is subtle I hear repeatable patterns within a few bars even though I set Random and reset to None.
What I am telling you is that basically even though RR is set to Random you get exactly the same hits within one bar. As if nothing is random.
