My Time Warp scripts do a very simple processing: 1. Go into Overdub Mode. 2. Rate Shift in rhythmic steps according to a set sequence. 3. Go out of Overdub Mode. All that happens during one Cycle (EDP-ish. Means the length of the first loop I started out that session by recording. Or a new if I have later on defined a new Track Sync Master Track). I only use two Time Warp scripts because I need to know what they will put out from the noise I chose to put in ;-) I wrote them in a way that to not change the playback time of the Cycle, related to parallel loops on other tracks. You know, if transposed up the loop goes faster and if transposed down it goes slower. So I have kind of balanced up and down transposing through-out the script to give the full schebang the same total playback time as the loop would have if not processed. I use octaves, fifths and fourths up or down to avoid clashes between major and minor chords and keep more of the compositional momentum at my hands rather than "in-the-box". Also, each script exists in five different versions to match specific timing measures: 4/4, 5/4, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8. I never have to bother about that though because the script I trigger from my pedal only reads what 8ths Per Cycle Mobius is actually working at and then fetches and applies the Time Warp script that matches the actual timing measure. > Also its weird but I > never use fade, started to, but stopped in favor of good old fashion > feedback reduction to fade traclks away. I like feedback manipulation too, even pumping a pedal during overdub or mulitply to create "volume sweeps" in all background layers on the next loop round. But the Fade In/Out I use more for "remixing while playing". The script checks what level the looper track is at and then fades out rather slowly. Next time I kick the same button - with that track selected - it checks and find "oh shit, track volume is down at zero... man I better FADE IN now!" ...and in this situation the script remembers the old track volume level and fades back in to the same volume as it used to be. I also have the four looper track's volume on the Faderfox hand mixer faders for quick manual adjustment. > PS the fader fox thingy is really cool Indeed. I would buy a new one if mine was lost. Maybe I replace them with an iPhone or iPad in the future. I like physical buttons better than a touch screen but since you bring your mobile phone anyway the OSC solution would also help to save overweight costs when traveling.
