Just wondering if there is a way I can reference a list inside a multi?

I see that there are now “A”, “B”,”C” etc. next to each sound in a multi. Would love to be able to use this “A” to tell the mutli to play this sample in this instance. FMOD Studio

There is no way to reference a specific entry of a multi sound module’s playlist, because that is not what multi sound modules are designed for. Multi sound modules are designed to provide unpredictable variation by treating all entries in their playlists as equally desirable.

If you want to specify which files play at which times, I recommend using timeline logic, sound module trigger conditions, separate events, programmer sound modules, nested events, or parameter-triggered single sound modules, all of which can provide the degree of control you describe.



Yeah that’s exactly what I do currently, but the current method of dragging 100 clips into a parameter to align them to a reference corresponding to a 1-100 parameter value list is insanely cumbersome.

Here’s my current method for making a “list” styled parameter controlled set of clips.

Now the clips are snapped to parameter values of increments of 1.

This also only works if your list is in REVERSE, because no matter how you select the audio clips from the multi, they paste in reverse order.

Is there an easier/more straight forward/less time consuming way of achieving this on a large scale?

The feature i’d like would alleviate this entire process, which would be able to access a list in a container in the order that it appears. Think of it as a list event. The Parameter would be a built in parameter and simple AF.
