A Different Looping Approach
Hi folks
inspired by the discussion on Per's Steppophonic, I've actually thought
about this general approach to live looping:
1. Record an audio sample in a (simple) looper, set it on single shot via
MIDI trigger (no continuous looping or no midi sync)
2. Use a keyboard/pad to trigger the loop via MIDI messages
3. Run a MIDI (!) loop in i.e. Ableton where you record/overdub these MIDI
messages
Based on this setup, you can run a dozen audio samples that you trigger
via keys/pads. Besides the audio sample triggers - and this is the
interesting part - you can also loop further MIDI commands in your Ableton
MIDI loop. Example:
LoopA... two... three... four
LoopA+LoopB... two... three.. four...
LoopA+LoopB... two... LoopB... four...
ReverseA+LoopA+LoopB... two... LoopB... four...
ReverseA+LoopA+octaveUpB+LoopB... two... LoopB... four...
So, all the lines could be different scenes in Ableton that you could
switch back and forth. And so on...
You could integrate this approach of course also with "traditional"
looping.
Wonder if any of you have gone on a path like this?
best regards
Buzap
