the problem is he wants to use looping samples, which kind of implies warping, which sampler/simpler won't do. you'll probably need to use a third party software to do this... whether you use midi workarounds or a different sampler that can do tempo based looping. true it would be best if I could w...

sweeeeeet. Thanks!

if I was able to put them all in a rack of sample players how would I set it up to cross fade them?

yeah sampling individual drum sounds in pretty safe...just make sure you get it at a clean part of the track

I'd like to be able to cross-fade between several looping clips with one knob...I know I can set up the normal A-B DJ style cross fade thing, but I want to cross-fade between A-B-C-D-E-F-G....ie. midi cc 00-10 = 100% clip1, 11-20 = 100%clip2, etc, etc Can it be done with a rack? Anyone have any idea...

why not have live send a message to mute your keyboard's sequencer or change the pattern to an empty one?...live is a sequencer and the problem you're having is because sequencers only send midi start messages when they start, and since you aren't re-starting live, it's not going to send a new start...

make mappable clip transport controls that are independent of focus....see this thread: http://www.ableton.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=68591

this is so dumb...what good is mapping the loop start points globally? If you could overload the assignments for the loop start points you could do it by having the midi controller trigger the clip as well and if the Select on Launch preference is set it would swap back and forth, but because only o...

OMFG...I can't believe there is no way of doing this...

I'm trying to change the start point of a warped audio loop using a mapped midi controller...the problem is when I do this, it moves the start point of whatever clip happens to be selected...I want to be able to assign knobs to move the start points of a bunch of different clips...how do I do this?

yeah you can do it with dummy clips...set the monitor state of the track to IN...then have two dummy clips on the track...an "off clip" that has a Mixer/volume envelope draw to 0%...and an "ON" clip that has a mixer/volume envelope set to 100%.... key map a qwerty key to each of ...

found a lame work around....basically what I needed was a timer for a laptop battle....so I made a silent audio clip the length that I needed and launch it as soon as I start...that way I have a timer going in the track status display bar....

is there a way to have the arrangement position box display the actual time instead of measures/beats in session mode?

i rolled my own macintel vocoder plugin, it's not the greatest, but it works....intel and ppc versions can be downloaded here:
