These are videos of Matt Moldover explaining his setup. Pretty intresting. I really with they were more detailed though. If anyone can pick these apart and share the details, PLEASE do!

I'm extremely interested in what is shown at :30 seconds into the second vid. He explains that the last bar played it being constantly recorded and mapped to the first four keys of the keyboard. So you can then resequence and juggle them. Anyone know how to set that up?

It's actually playing the same sample all the time... For what I hear... Its not really dynamically capturing and remapping all the time... Whitch would have been nice...

If you listen later, you can tell it is. He even says...

"...this is a resequencer. This is recording the last bar that played."

He then points to which key is which bar and demonstrates.

somebody explain the resequencing to me, (not what it is) but how he's doing it in Live?
I don't get how he's always recording the last bar of some other sequence
and how he's triggering it, but then apparently still recording all the time.

If you watch his other videos, you'll see he 's a big fan of Reaktor, and has a custom Reaktor patch on each Live track. So I'm guessing he does this resequencing with Reaktor.

That's what I've gathred from other boards. But I still haven't found out how.

We don't have any Reaktor gurus here?

On a site note, watching those vids, that guy asking the questions and playing with the keyboard really gets on my nerves. He's pretty annoying. Heh.

That particular thing would be a reasonably easy Audiotable patch

bump

and I wonder if he hacked his SL's (that's an SL37?) touch pad to a linear strip, IOW tap into the electronics, remove a connection to the X/Y pad, solder it to a linear pad.

Good to hear Moldover doing less hectic mixes, he's a madman, I respect the way he shows his setup.

I'm on-call at work for the next 3 weeks, then I have 3 weeks holidays. I'll have time to write patches then :S

I'd approach it with a simple ramp oscillator on the WX, lock WY and RY to 0, then maybe have four ramp oscillators feed into RX, with the appropriate positions calced from the MIDI CLOCK and samplerate.

Nothing hideously complex in there.

I did a similar thing to create a vinyl stop effect that continues on the next beat.

This was the very first version of the very first patch I ever made, so forgive its.... ahem, ugly qualities

Bump... I just want to watch this later and not have to dig for it.

or a ridiculously easy [buffer~] manipulation thing in MaxMSP

I think it's even a tutorial in max.

AND, since this is an ableton forum, wet/dry switching of simple delays will get really pleasing re-ordering effects too.
