Live looping video

Post by soultwist » Tue May 03, 2011 4:08 pm

Came across this live looping video that I thought was really cool:

http://vimeo.com/19934801

I don't quite understand what he's doing with the padkontrol to achieve his drum sounds. Seems like a lot of switching between scenes. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thank you!

"alot of switching between scenes".....not too far off.....its called beat juggling, using follow action.....here is a good tutorial about it

the tutorial starts at about 2:38 i think it is a 2 part tutorial.

I don't think that's it. Thanks for the link though - that's a useful tutorial.

I meant switching a lot between scenes (or banks) on the actual PK - Whoops. I can see how that would be confusing. You can see he is holding the "scene" button quite often.

you know :oops: second, third,fourth look at it.....i bet he has the scene button on his padkontrol midi mapped to the record button on looper......everytime he hits it and hits a pad, it adds to the beat.....and from his computer screen, it doesn't look like he is changing scenes.....those are my guesses....i actually live in portland OR.......looks like i might have to check kpsu out if they are playing this sort of thing.
