hi there,

so i'm trying to find the cleanest solution to this issue:

Let's say I have a steady pulse of a short sine wave sound going at 120bpm, every now and then, randomly, I want the sine wave to be twice as long, meaning, it taking up 2 pulses in the sequence, without then retriggring it while it's playing.

So far I've used gate to accomplish this: every time the long impulse appears, the gate closes, so it won't pass through another trigger while it's playing.

I feel like there has to be a better option than this. This gets especially more complicated if I have e.g. 3 different sustain values for the sine wave, meaning e.g. first one taking up 1 pulse, second one 2 and the third one 3 of them.

hi,

I'm trying to import a quadraphonic audiofile into my project and whenever I do so, it splits the audio file into it's 4 mono files. It's super annoying... Especially since Logic also just ignores the fact that it's a multichannel file, and all the mono tracks output is put to stereo. it really makes zero sense to me. Can somebody help me? Is there a way to import the audio as a single file onto a surround track?

And while we're at it, would somebody be so kind and explain to me what the use of splitting audio like that? I guess it makes sense maybe with bigger surround formats like Dolby Atmos maybe?
