Hi all, Basically I have made a short 2 second ditty in the music sequencer, thinking I could turn it on and off when I need it to play. Sadly this doesn't work and there's a delay before it starts playing Is there anywhere else you can use the sequencer instruments? Or any way to make it play immediately upon being triggered? I'm not very hopeful on this one, but thanks for reading this far.

I use the sequence for most of my sound effects (nothing has been published yet of mine - so can't point you to an example). I will often add multiple effects. The way I go about it is - set your trigger (player proximity, or have it triggered by shooting it, etc.) Put your sequence on a microchip. Don't ask me why, but they tend to have less issues that way. Connect your trigger to a counter (I do this cause I want the sequencer to only go off 1 time). Set the counter to 1. Connect the counter to your sequencer. That should be it. This is only one method - but it sounded like you were looking for something similiar to that. If not, please explain your scenario a bit more. Anyway, I have some pretty cool effects on mine. When a player shoots a rock - the counter triggers the sound of the plasma (weapons are futuristic), liquifying the rock, then getting ready to explode - the last items on the sequencer give the player points and destroys the object. I'm a huge fan of the sequencer. It's probably one of my favorite features in LBP2.

I think CYMBOL has some good methods, but have you simply tried activating it by using a player sensor, and if there is some delay, you might be able to place the player sensor further back(Assuming you just want to activate a sound effect upon walking towards something)

Thanks to both of you, but I do not think I can use the sequencer, only the music sequencer seems to be able to use instruments Is there any where else I can use instruments other than the music sequencer? Or is there any way to make the music sequencer play immediately upon triggering? I suspect the delay is because the game is 'fading out' the current music to play the new music.

I recall reading a Help thread that attributed the Music Sequencer's initial delay to it being loaded. In this lies the solution, I reckon: have all your sound effects play the first empty stave of their content at the start of the game, then pause.

Is there any where else I can use instruments other than the music sequencer? No, but some of the instruments (drums, bass guitar, piano and sine wave IIRC) are also available as sound objects which can be placed anywhere.
