well spotted & posted.

Curse the rest of you faggots for allowing this thread to sink so low in the page.
And also the coder, seeing as it's windows only.

Can I be removed from the list of faggots this week? I've found I'm already too busy to fulfill my douchebag and twat responsibilities. Next week looks a little less hectic.

Dunno if anyone else has tried it but this is a really good demo of why LFO's should be in Live - and won 2nd place in last years KVR Dev challenge. PC & Mac & Free.

"Hypercyclic is an LFO-driven MIDI arpeggiator, gate effect and step sequencer for mangling MIDI input chords. Two tempo-synced LFOs can be used to modulate various parameters to create interesting rhythmic effects and chord variations. A unique feature is the possiblity to modulate the sequencer step size itself, which is useful for creating glitchy stuttering effects."

ok. props for the developer but really.. why would you want a step sequencer for chords and an arpeggiator when you already have all these already?

midi racks. theyre great. really.

Try it Kami - or even just have a quick listen to the demos. You can modulate the seq/arp with the LFO. Anyway it's just yet another tool in the arsenal - and I only posted it to highlight how useful LFO's would be in Live. If midi racks are *that* useful - why did you post an LFO workaround using a third party VSTi and Midiyoke? :wink: Good job btw and thanks - having fun with it already...8)

@kami
a] everyone doesn't necessarily use live. and those of us who do may use other software that would benefit from this, from time to time.
b] not every live user is rocking live 6 or 7

I can't wait to get home to my pc.
It was as if someone shook up a 6 foot can of blood soda and suddenly popped the top.

well, basicly because that plugin, although im sure fun as it is with its arp and chord and all that :), does things that you can already do with racks, except for the lfo bit. so i figured why use a plugin with unneccessary feature instead of getting plugin which only has the features you need and nothing more?

seems like a clumsy solution to me, and since we have a stupid 128 parameter limit it seems like an even more clumsy solution to me, when you can do most of the things with lives midi plugins already.

but props for posting it :)
im sure non l6+ users (or non live users even) will be happy.
