I'm trying to figure out ways how to make a patch that will record a loop of my playing and then rearranging it in varying ways over time.
It could be either audio or MIDI, if one is simpler, I'd start with that.
For now it seems that the "Live Looper Slicer" patch would be a good starting point.
I would like to switch RND on different conditions.
The following is a list that of some possible conditions:
1) If loop count=x, then RND (for and example 8 times each combination).
2) If some other randomized parameter=X, then RND (for an example Pan)
3) If certain notes are played in order (input) - MIDI or audio to MIDI
4) If certain slices are played in order (for an example 1, 2, 3, 4 of
One problem with these methods might be that it gives results that are at one hand unpredictable and on the other hand too predictable (always randomizing at a certain number of repeats, but completely changing while doing so etc).
So one idea is to store (some) of these randomizations and return to them once and a while to give some sense of structure.
Also one idea would be to limit the RND somehow - like, allowing each slice to play only once during a cycle.
So, how to do any of this?
Even more, does anybody have any experience in doing these sort of things, what are the results likely to be?
Am I wasting my time and some other approach would be better to generate evolving patterns of improvised input?
A lot of questions, I'll stop....for now
