Would anyone be interested in collaborating and working together to create a community based loop pack for Cells!?
I think that a pack of premade loops and one-shots that could be downloaded along with the final release (as a seperate download) would be ideal for ‘instant gratification’ / learning how Cells! works.
The 64 beat sample limit still remains, but I’m thinking that for example a loop comprised of drums, bass, synth could be broken down like so:
Combined loop
Synth only loop
Bass only loop
Drums only loop
Drums w/o kick loop
Kick drum only loop
Various parts of drums only loop(s)
In this format, all loops could be collected into a single instrument and users can load the same instrument into multiple tracks to mix various parts of the loops together (e.g. kick & bass loops, moving to combined loop).
I think it is a great idea, then you could use the loop pack in your manual or other people could use it in tutorial vids so everyone has a common set of sounds to work with
This is a very good argument for such a pack. Anybody could great a ‘Cells! tutorial/demo video’ that others can follow .
Well, I’m going to have to assume anything that is submitted is free for others to use, otherwise it becomes too complicated.
I’ve made a few loops at 128bpm, because that is what my default is set too.
Yes, I worked with PureMagnetik to assist with their porting to Renoise. It’s worth considering, but I don’t know their licensing terms. I thought a community pack would be a good idea as everyone and anyone can contribute to a common ‘loop pool’ which anyone can use however they want.
