Cool. :) Actually, we've moved from a
potentially OT topic to an actually looping topic. What I sent Todd were
just max pitch shifting patches...nothing looping oriented. But anytime a
looper can do interesting pitch gymnastics, that is a good thing in my
book!
So you think randomness makes a mess?
I feel when it is harnessed appropriately, it can be a beautiful thing. It
reflects the reality of the world, pockets of choas framed within order, the
fact that we can't control everything in life, etc. Now we're really on
OT, but a while back I would have been horrified by the idea of my computer
doing things for me randomly and not knowing what to expect. You could have
called me a "control freak", and there are a lot of us on the list, I'm sure.
Now, with my unbelievably stressful and orderly life with a corporate job, 3
year old twins, etc, where everything is based on predicable schedules, I look
forward to playing music and relinquishing some control and
predictability. It creates a nice balance for me.

I don't do random ...... I don't need a computer to make a mess for me, I
can do that myself. Decimal point, yes ..... you can tweek the playback
speed from 0 to 16x ..... and any amount in between. The semitone
buttons and tonal shifting options are for convenience in case you want to
shift ONLY to notes that are tonally related.
In the case of building a
chord for example .... you can record the same tone to three tracks, then
shift one of them by +4 semitones(a major third) and another by +7
semitones(the fifth).
You can also stack while tweeking the
playback speed up and down .... the stacked audio will be smeared across the
audio (meaning you alter the record speed when you are recording and frequency
shifting) ..... you can do this with decay and have a smeared, decaying,
stacking, pitch shifted mess if you want .....
and yes, multiple tracks
can be shifted by different amounts at the same time. You can map it all
to midi controls and tweek on up and another down at the same time
.....
flypaper is the stuff we had in the barn when I was a kid that
hung down from the ceiling and caught all the flys.
any other
questions?

shifting and harmonizing again (emergency)
But can you randomly change pitch, control the
speed and range of randomness (or make that random), pitch change down to the
decimal point (semi tones and smaller or linear change), and do this with
multiple pitch changes simultaneously? :) Ever heard of Fly
Paper? :)

Original Message ----- Flyloops can do pitch shifting too .....
there are little +1 SEMITONE, -! SEMITONE buttons on the "tweek speed"
panel. You click that button a few times til you get it up to where
you want to shift (4 semitones, say, for a major third) and then click the
loop track you want to shift by that amount. You can also click the
"tonal shifting" checkbox and then turn a midi control knob to shift the
pitch only by semitones. I should note that this is a
frequency shifter, not a pitch shiftier though ... so it speeds up
playback. If the loops are set to sync (default), they will repeat
early to stay in time with the master. See the screenshot and
interactive demo at: http://www.flyloops.com/demo/If you have a PC,
download here: http://www.flyloops.com/download.htmwait about a
week and there should be a video on semitonal frequency shifting on the
webpage too .... I'm a bit overdue for that one.

Hey
all,
I'm throwing this out there for our max
mavens...
My Eventide will not arrive in time for a piece I
need it for... TOMORROW...
damn.
so here is my
predicament... Last time I tried to use gizmo~ to make a pitch shifter
which sounded good, I was entirely unsuccessful.
is there
any one of you out there who has a max patch which will harmonize with
two additional pitches above or below the root pitch which sounds great
which you'd be willing to send me? I have to play single notes and
have it track well enough to sound like a chord in real
time.
thanks in advance for any support you might
give.
and best to all.
Todd
