Manipulating samples using automation
I'm not sure where to start with this so hopefully somebody will make sense of it.
What I want to do is basically use some kind of sampler (possibly something granular) which I can control and automate within LK.
I want to be able to take a vocal sample and play it forwards and backwards at varying speeds (I'm guessing an LFO attached the playhead would do this) and also potentially jump around the sample to start at different points.
I've seen people do similar things with iDensity and Spacecraft and I've done it with Samplr when recording sequences in but I want to do it all within AUM and essentially doing it live (i.e. with automations locked to a tempo or with controls mapped to a controller rather than recording manipulations)
Any ideas?

Seems like you might have it all figured out already.
What are you asking for? Workflow? Apps?
Yeah, both of the above, really. I'm pretty sure I have everything I need to make it work, but was wondering if anyone had already done it/was already doing it.
Use Drambo's Flexi Sampler and automate your favorite knobs with LK's CC automation:
@giku_beepstreet was kind enough to also implement my suggestion to add a CC control range for fine tuning also outside AUM:
That's an excellent suggestion, thanks! I've not spent more than a few hours with Drambo but what time I have spent with it was dedicated to the Flexi Sampler module.
If you are not prone to Drambophobia, then I would do as @rs2000 has suggested.
FlexiSampler is very powerful and capable for this type of workflow/effect.
It is what I would use, too.
Hehe - I'm not a Drambophobic (although in general I opt for things that try to do 1 thing each rather than 1 thing that does everything all at once). It's not that I'm anti- that way of working, I just find it really confusing to work within an app within an app. It always feels unnecessarily powerful for anything I want to use it for.
At least Drambo won't eat your CPU for nothing if you have a simple patch. Don't worry.
It's very efficient, it just feels strange 😉
Just stick mainly with the FlexiSampler for this, and you can pretty much ignore the rest of Drambo (for now).
Set it up once and save a preset. Then you can just use the preset in Drambo, and it is close to using a dedicated app.
Well, not really, but my point is to look at Drambo as a container for any type of app you want to create or download, then use presets just like you pick an AU in a host.
Maybe you won’t like working like this, but if you do you will get a lot more use from Drambo.
Excellent advice. I'll try to find some time later this evening to try it out. Thanks!
And you're totally right @rs2000 although it feels OTT for the tasks I would want to use it for, it definitely doesn't cause me any issues on the CPU front
