Show Cue System

Can the current SCS loop in the same style as the Roland RC20 loop sampler? That is. play a loop continuously until the next sound or loop is selected when the current loop plays out it's cycle fully and the next loop automatically starts on completion of that cycle?

IOW it's a 'pre-selector' operation, where the next loop or sound doesn't commence until the previous sound has finished playing?

I'm looking for something to use in a 'live' context where looped sounds can be triggered in varied sequence by midi note-on messages, but only one sound playing at a time, the current sound playing to it's end point and automatically commencing the start of the next selected sound.

Can't think of a way to do this in SCS unless you have a scheduled order in which the files are to be played.

If you do use a 'scheduled order' but use midi triggering can you (re-)trigger a cue earlier in the schedule, or do they always need to be 'in order' so that a low number cue can only auto-control the start of a higher number cue?

If you have the cues in order then you can set them up something like this:

Q1: 1st audio file, looping
Q2: SFR cue, release loop of Q1
Q3: 2nd audio file, looping, auto-start at end of Q1
Q4: SFR cue, release loop of Q3
Q5: 3rd audio file, looping, auto-start at end of Q3
etc

So a MIDI control can be sent to activate Q1; then when required a MIDI control to activate Q2 which will cause Q1's loop to be released and when Q1 ends Q3 will start.

Going back in the cue list will not achieve what you want, as I presume at this stage you would want to activate something that would release the loop on Q3 and when Q3 ends you would want an earlier cue to start. That's not really workable with the cue start mechanisms in SCS.
