Re: "Microlooper" (a Max 4 Live device)



Well, I might have been too positive... I have note yet tried this device and I first thought that it will allow us to sweep the loop through the sample. But reading the full description this seems not to be possible. What a shame! As usual (with Ableton Live) it targets people that wants to "add electronics" rather than "play electronics". I did download it though and will check it out in action some day (but an album mix and live rehearsals are higher on the list for quite some time).

Instructions :

- Drag the Device onto an Audio Track
- Arm the Audio Track holding the MicroLooper Device
- Set 'Sample Length' to the desired value (ms)
- Press 'Start Recording' to record audio into the buffer
- Press 'Play' to playback the recorded sample
- Use 'Loop Start Position' and 'Loop End Position' dials to focus the loop ('Loop Start Position' is relative to 'Loop End Position')
- Monitor loop in waveform~

Randomize Loop Position : On/Off
Random Speed : Speed at which randomization takes place

'Micro Pitch' adds the ability to control minor changes in pitch (+/- 50 cts)
