Thanks! Yes, it is complex to get one’s head around, but I hope people can take the parts they need and skip the rest… Basically the red buttons go through the loops in different ways, and each has its own control profile pre-programmed - but if you prefer to use a four-button (physical) controller, say, you can of course use that to target the (red) buttons you find useful. Trying to keep to ONE physical button is part joke, maybe, but also it reduces how much you have to remember while playing… As to the (coloured) step dials, one can freely just forget them - but if you have your own way with different instruments and drum patterns, you may consider hiding the changes in these dials, so they go in time with layers and sections… Basically it’s for my own use, but I hope others can at least get some ideas from it :)
This is amazing stuff. I downloaded the template and it’s incredible what you’ve managed to do. But man, is it complex!. I get lost trying to follow the flow, how the step dials trigger buttons, at some point they switch profiles… all very very clever. I’d love a detailed run-down to see if it can clear things up. Although it’d have to be way long!. Thanks for this, amazing work 🤟🙌
It’s amazing and complex. I would certainly pick some parts in my playing. I am just about beginning in LP though. One more things the sounds (instruments) you were playing with vst n your guitar were amazing. What were you using and how ?
Thanks! I’ll probably make a video of all that stuff at some point, but am a bit short of time at the moment… So the short version on the guitar stuff is Gigfast Lite with some NAM profiles for guitars (maybe some Bass Mint to boost?), and the synth sounds are played via Midi Guitar 2 which is good but 3 is on the horizon. The sounds it plays are ”auto-sampled” from good but slightly unusable sources (World Piano, SampleTank) to an app called Audiolayer - it’s a bit clumsy to use, but once you have the sounds in, it switches them very swiftly and is also light on memory (so I don’t have to pack Loopy Pro full of separate synth apps as well, given it already hosts everything I mentioned above and then some...)
A plugin called Midi Guitar 2 translates the guitar into MIDI notes for playing synth sounds. A new version is coming and will likely be much better, but this is already great and surprisingly reliable.
In the first part, it's the Klevgränd OneShot plugin taking MIDI from Patterning 3, which is perhaps a bit overkill CPU-wise... In the latter part, I have a cheap microphone on the floor and tons of real-time effects on it - I've showcased this in a couple of shorts and will make a full video at some point with more specifics. Anyway it all runs within Loopy Pro.
wow, man, crazy!
Crazy cool!

Thank you so much! Fantastic!

@@UnlikelyArrangements man this is insane. You must be a magician. Thanks appreciate your response. Look forward to your video
How you play with all these sound just on guitar?

Where are the drums coming from?

(Ah, I forgot the first part also has SLAMMER doing its random banging, as explained in the previous "drum" episodes 144 and 150...)
