Beat Repeat wishes (design bugs)

[nbinder]

1. (As written several times)
Let the beat repeat swing!

2. Gate needs to be how many repeats not in 16th. Right now you cannot work with triplets correctly, because 2 triplets are neither two 16ths nor three. Design mistake!

3. If the interval is set to more than one bar, the offset must be adjustable to further than 16/16 of course! This is a design mistake as well.

...and sync to odd meters.

Beat Repeat is such an awesome effect, it deserves some polish!

+a reverse-button

+also pitch upward and not only downward

[chapelier fou]

+10000 to work properly in other meters than 4/4 !

+1 for beat repeat expansion! great effect, but falls into cliches right now

[mazmith]

+1!!!!! it could be a much better tool than it is now, specifically, we need more options for repeating parts more organically and out of order. much in the same way you would
1)take a loop and paste it a bunch of times in session view, in one track
2)set beat 1 at different points for each copy
3)then set the clips to legato
4) set the follow actions on the clip to launch any every 16th
this works really well for glitching/repeating a sample/loop but it takes way too long to set up and is much harder if not impossible to express yourself in real time than a couple of knobs would be, you know?

+1

+1 for PITCH UP

I have no clue how this got left out, did someone at ableton decide people would only want to pitch down retrigs?

[chapelier fou]

Once again, pitching up is impossible. That's logical.

[chapelier fou]

Anyway, BR should work in sync in other time signatures than 4/4, please...

[foxymethoxy]

+1 on all the aforementioned suggestions

why is that?
theres plenty of buffer plugins that plays back from the buffer pitched up, not to mention max patches.

[chapelier fou]

Think of it, pitching up means speeding. A buffer can only reproduce a past sound. If it plays to fast, it will go faster than the music itself, which is impossible. The only solution would be time stretching.

yeah, and why is that a problem? i mean, lives whole idea is time stretching and warping audio, so yeah.. timestretch it is then.

[kristoffer1989]

or just play it faster? I mean why not? WHen it is pitching down it plays it back slower and nobody is complaining about that...

Just play it faster and repeat it...
