Macro/meta ways of controlling track arrangement
So let's say I have this really sick groove running on 8 tracks on drambo, I can mute/solo tracks on the fly and keep partying for hours, but what if I want to randomly create sections, like have one track suddenly solo, or have tracks appearing one by one. I want to "randomize" the arrangement, so my own track surprises me. Of course I need to replace default master mixer with a customized one. Any advice on that? Has anyone built any stuff dealing with this scenario like controlled group tracks, that you can point me to?
I do actually have a killer 8 track idea boiling, I want to take it to the next level.

Here is one solution that comes to mind...
generate random notes and send them to Feedback port; make sure in settings Feedback port is enabled for Control
Assign the range that’s being generated to control your clips in Launcher
Make sure no actual feedback is going on... :)
You can use time scaling to adjust the frequency of randomisation further...
This is just a proof of concept, haven’t done actual testing.
You can use LFOs / CCs etc to generate other than random changes... or use same /similar concept to simply mute/solo tracks, allowing you to interact more with the interface while sh!t is happening in the background :)
Oh man, that is brilliant! Thank you so much, just what I needed
It’s going to require some time setting up but it will be so worth it
And I’m sorry to inform you all, but I’ll probably post results at some point
last time i tried, selecting a clip via midi also selects the clip's track. so any automated clip changes disrupt live manual control of other tracks. is this still so?
