How best to build a clock synced audio slicer/recycler?

Aesoteric

Hey all,

My first post...I'm a long time MicroModular user and brand new G2 Engine owner (she moved in today..!) Laughing

I'm utterly loving it.

I mostly use my Micro for audio processing and mangling, and the lovely new G2 is going to be paired with my Electrix Repeater for looping/processing fun....I'm going to run inputs 1-2 in the FX loop of my amp into the Repeater's inputs, and then have inputs 3-4 of the G2 in the FX loop of the Repeater...that way I can loop the G2 and, or use it to process loops...ultimate, beautiful flexibility. Anyways, enough excitable gushings...

I'm hoping someone can give me a few tips on a processing patch I'm working on...its something I originally built in Max/MSP and use as an AudioUnit inside Live 5 (I tried to attach a mini-standalone version of the Max patch for anyone to try but I keep getting an error when I try to post)

Basically what the Max patch does is realtime recycling of loops...it splits a loop up into a set number of slices and then re-orders them (user definable using a multi-slider object) on the fly. Its great for Reich-esque melodic phrases and breaks.

I've built a few approximations on the G2 today, one based on two quad delays, clock synced to different beat divisions and run into a 8-1 multi and another based on Tim's Elastic Audio looper, using a step sequencer to control the Scrub parameter. Neither of these are entirely perfect, and neither really work tightly enough to use with rhythms - has anyone built anything similar to this in the past...I've searched the patches but can't find anything...if anyone can give me any pointers I'd be really grateful. A way of running the delay based system so that its not behind the clock (because of the delay!)??! Thats why I thought Tim's system might be the way to go, but unfortunately I'm not quite at a stage where I can easily reverse engineer his patch to my own ends...

Anyways, this is turning into the War and Peace of 1st posts, so I'll shut up...my only excuse is my excitment at my sexy new 1U rackable friend.... Wink

Cheers in advance for any help,

Aes (Tim)

Tim and congrats with the G2.

For help I was going to point you to that other Tim, but well, you already found it Very Happy

How long should the swappable audio bits be ? I can imagine this to eat memory very fast.

Hey Blue Hell,

Cheers for getting back to me, and for the warm welcome...

The audio fragments only have to be fairly short...imagine a one bar drum loop with all 16th notes...each slice is only one beat long.

I've got a few approximations, but none that sound as defined and tidy as the Max version.

One other question, is it possible to upload Max patches and apps?

Cheers,

Tim
