See his excellent description! I don't know what you want to do with Live but, anyway, here's a tip for one way to use Live 4. I'm mostly into looping live audio of my instrument playing (sax and guitar) and I don't like the static way you have to loop in Live. So I'm using the OSX AU software plug-in Augustus Loop in Live4 with Live 4 as host application. I use two instances of the plug-in for looping and in one FCB1010 bank I keep the FCB midi expression pedals for controlling "delay feedback" of those two loops. So by using Augustus Loop instead of recording Live clips I can overdub layers and layers into a loop and keep changing the loop while it's playing back. In other banks I control pitch or length of the Augustus loops from the FCB, and some other stuff... ;-) Here's how it can sound: http://www.looproom.com/audio/Bath_Tub.mp3 Lately I have developed a second set-up that uses midi clips in Live 4 sending (over the IAC bus in Panther) beat synced trigger signals to a gate where my audio instrument input is tapped into the looping plug-in. From buttons on my FCB pedal I can then chose if the loop of my audio input will be sliced into 16ths, triads or whatever. I have a live session view track full of "beat sync gate midi clips" and they are all set to "legato mode" and locally quantized to 8ths (while the global quantize in Live is set to one bar). By this fix I can change the beat sync of the gate while playing and build a loop with different rhythms layered on top of each other. A general tip is to play around with the effects in Live and decide on which ones that sounds cool and the way you want to use them to make music. Then check out how you can manipulate the effect dynamically to have fun and simply assign some buttons/pedals of your FCB1010 to those parameters. As an example there are at least a dozen ways to use the Autofilter. Good luck with exploring Live 4 and the FCB1010! All the best Per Boysen --- http://www.boysen.se http://www.looproom.com
