Trigger a midi phrase
In a live performance, rather than trigger a sound on a virtual instrument/sampler from "a midi note" from my keyboard controller, I want to trigger a midi phrase from "a midi note" from my keyboard controller.
(Then the triggered midi phrase plays a sound on a virtual instrument/sampler).
Currently I play such phrases using a sampler - by recording the phrase as a wave, load it into a sampler, and assign it to a midi note to trigger and playback the phrase. But if I need to transpose or change tempo the sampled phrase, a sample is not going to work as well as a midi phrase.
If I can instead trigger a "midi phrase" with a single midi note from my keyboard controller, then I can accurately "vari the tempo or key" without artifacts or other problems.
Are there plugins that are "midi phrase players".
Any ideas?
