Re: Mobius: Help needed for a "Generative Granular Assembler" script



So... it's like Bill Walker without the feet !

No recording, but I think the description is pretty clear:

- Make an empty audio loop in the looper.
- Set up a "control loop" of about two bar's length that sends the
looper a Sustain Substitute once or twice per loop round.
- Make sure every such Sus Sustain command is sent at a new
segment/granule/subcycle of the audio loop, avoiding the substitutions
to happen at the same point of the audio loop.
- Play some slow and beautiful music into the looper's audio input and
experience the sudden fill-ins of the audio loop happen more often the
longer it goes on.
- After a few minutes of playing your background loop is full n frenzy
and every 16th note is slamming a chunk.

At the MIDI Hack convention I used Ableton Live for the "control loop"
but the challenge is to make it happen all inside a Mobius script.
