Idea For A Nice Live Looper

Note: Development of Cells Device has ceased (it was only a test). The live performance capabilities have been developed into Cells!. The Glitch like features may occur in the future as a separate tool.

Early alpha version attached. This is how it works:

  • The current pattern is divided into beats (quarter notes).
  • Each beat is subdivided into 2, 4 or 8 sub-beats
  • You indicate instruments you want to use with this tool by adding “[L]” into their name
  • Select one of these instruments before starting the tool
  • Tools -> Cell Device -> 2 / 4 or 8 PPQN
  • The GUI will magically appear if everythings ok and playback will start
  • The pattern is looped and the current track cleared
  • Playback position is highlighted in green
  • Click a cell command and click cells (red = mute, blue = reverse, yellow = repeat the previous cell)
  • Operations on cells are not commutative
  • Select different loops in realtime with the buttons on the left, the same cell commands will be applied
  • You can also change the BPM if you wish

I have an example file with some loops ready for use here

Enjoy!

All feedback welcome!
