This is the start of an experiment. The goal being to start recording all those various ideas I have and never bother to write down and soon forget. We’ll see how it works. Alot of these will probably only make sense to me.
Todays ideas:
- add “loop windowing” support that can be controled via midi CC controllers. You could control the index of which cycle to loop, and how many cycles to index. Doing this via the already existing “cycles” shouldn’t be too difficult.
- But, the more interesting idea would be to the same thing across any subsection of a loop. Position and length of the section to loop would be deteremined by CC as above, but could be any part of the loop, not just “cycles”. Sort of a granular approach. Something like Grainstates in Reaktor
- ping-pong or scanner mode of loop playback. At the moment, sooperlooper supports playing a loop forwards or backwards. The idea would be to add support for playing forwards, then backwards, then forwards, etc. It already crossfades loops, so this could be interesting when doing “granular” type looping and ambient/noise type stuff.
And I seem to have already forgotten the other ideas I was going to include in this entry. How about that.
Oooh, neat. I hadn’t seen SooperLooper before. I’ll definitely have to play with that.
Hey, I notice you’re synchronizing WP and Livejournal. Are you using my plugin, or did someone finally get around to writing a better one?
I’m using your plugin. So far only change is allow commenting on both ends,
since some lj people mentioned it’s easier for them to comment on lj. Seems
to work pretty well for me so far. Very handy.
Cool; I’m glad to see it working for someone other than me. (I set up Cam’s, so that doesn’t really count.)
Oh, hey, I forgot to mention (because I always forget until it bites me in the ass) that when the switch to or from daylight savings time is made, the lj-sync stuff breaks a little. Entries get backdated, because they’re now an hour off, so your entries don’t show up on friends pages.
