Hi there, I'm working on creating a dynamic soundtrack and have a few questions. My first hurtle is shuffling synchronized playlists. I've created a basic layered song with 3 instruments/playlist controllers and 4 different parts/clips. Each instrument has its own playlist with its respective 4 parts and routing to individual mixer groups. Each respective part (1, 2, 3, 4) for all 3 instruments are identical in length. I want all 3 instruments to randomly switch to the same part of the song but I can't seem to get the tracks to shuffle together. - Master Crossfade Time is 0
- Song Transition Type is Synchronize Clips for all Playlists
- Controller Sync Group is 1 for all Playlists
- I've tried using shuffle individually and in all Playlists but they do not stay synchronized
Is there a good way to do this? Much thanks, Jim

There is no "coordinated shuffle", which is what you are looking for. You'd have to code that yourself. Just have it pick a random song and then tell all Playlist Controllers to play that song number. If you can't figure out how to code it, I can try.

Ok cool, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing some easy built in way of doing it. Would be a really great add for the roadmap though! I'll see what I can whip up in PlayMaker.

I will add it and try to code it at some point.
It would only work if you had an equal number of clips for each stem. If clip#3 on each Playlist isn't the ones you want to play together, there'd be no way to do it.

Yeah, that's how I'm using it. Thank you! Also, planning on using this with the tracker mods I mentioned before. Should be a big space saver for soundtracks based on this idea.

Cool. I will take a look hopefully in the next couple weeks.
There's a huge update I'm trying to finish up currently before looking at anything new.
