Transition Regon to multiple music tracks

FMOD Studio
1

I have 4 pieces of music and I want to have a transition regions at the end of each of them that randomly transitions (cross fades) to any of the other four. Is this possible? I have used transition regions before, but never with different destination.

This would be to create an endless song with 4 section is randomly transitions between.

This is possible. There are a few different ways to do it, depending on your requirements.

The simplest method works if you’re willing to use asynchronous instruments:

  1. Lay out your instruments along the timeline, making sure there is a gap between them.
  2. Set each of the instruments to asnchronous mode.
  3. Add an AHDSR modulator to each instrument, ensuring that they all fade in when triggered and fade out when untriggered.
  4. Add a destination marker to the start of each instrument.
  5. Create a logic point near the end of each instrument. These logic points should each consist of one destination marker, plus one transition marker to the destination markers at the start of each of the other instruments in the event.
  6. Arrange the transition markers of each logic point such that they’re all at different heights to the other transition markers in the same logic point. Then select each transition marker, turn on its “probability” property, and set its “chance” property to 1/n, where n is one plus the number of transition markers lower than it in the logic point.

Whenever the timeline playback position approaches the end of an instrument, it will hit logic point. The probability trigger conditions on the transition markers of the logic point ensure that the playback position has an equal chance of transitioning to each of the other instruments in the event; and the AHDSR modulators on each instrument ensure that they crossfade whenever a transition occurs.

If that method doesn’t fit your requirements, please let us know how, so that we can suggest one that is a better fit.

Thanks, I’ll try that and let you know.
