In a first try it did not find the BPM of 3 simple drumloops (4/4 120) in a row and crashed loading a WAV-file that never gave me any headaches before. Unfortunately all attempts here to do anything near the tricks shown in the video ended similar: - sooperlooper came near regarding working with sampled loops but too much must be done by hand and it did not work stable and it did not cooperate well with my MIDI-Controller(Behringer-U-control-keyboard, works perfectly well with Ardour,Guitarix, AMS and others). It allowed the controller-knobs to set stretching to absurd low values causing hundreds of xruns. It also crashed seldom but erratically thus I never ever would use it live. - qtractor is not made for tricks like these but maybe one could use it to trigger Samples that are played on individual tracks in a loop. It even adapts samples if the BPM changes and has lots of other cool features like MIDI-tracks, plugins and a real mixer. One could let the loop run and trigger the idividual samples using mute/solo and do a lot of impressive stuff remote-controlling plugin-parameters. This did not work out so well for me since I failed to make qtractor work with my controller as intended. It appeared quite enigmatic to me how one would map a Key to mute/solo on an individual mixer-track. But basically it seem to work so there is hope to see MIDI-learn as known from Ardour in it... - Ardour3 would be my best bet to come near but of course is also not build for the stuff that ALive is optimized to do. I see if find the time to give LMMS a try too... Building something modular based on seq24 could be worth the try also(did a gig with it some 2 years ago but in a set with a drummer and playing guitar live so seq24 only had to trigger some samples in specimen and a pianosound in ams - by far not as complex as seen in the video) My conclusion: as of now I would not know, how to do the tricks seen in the video under linux... best regs HZN/Berlin _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
