you mention dedicated cue point pads, how does this work? Can it be used on a single clip, or does it require that the clips be precut? Or do you trigger automations that alter the start point and retrigger the sample? Sounds very fine, regardless...

you have to warp + set cue points, then save the clips to the browser. then when you map them to a channel, they land on clip slots that have dedicated TF cue pads. 3 per channel (you can trigger the into with the navigation preset, or with the mouse/keyboard if you can't be bothered to change controller presets.

***edit April 08

i just made a two output mixing template that is engineered for techno and house and such. it's a simplified version of the 4 output template below, and also has a few new things like a tape stop, clickless channel mutes, etc...

Do you have a vid for the new sets?

Do you get all the copies for $30 or are they $30 a piece?

free updates for old customers, yes.

the new mixing template is a subtemplate of the 4 channel one. some people wanted a simpler, 2 channel version.

they are $30 each, or $50 for both.

the juggle channel as a submix is just that... it is a channel for tapping samples in with your fingers, and it comes through channel 4 on the super badass 4 channel template. 5 outs is too much to expect ;)

****edit July 08

the biggest, baddest, and most epic template is finally done. it is a live PA template that can also be used to DJ. basically it works like this:

Triceratopz - 8 Channel Mouseless Live PA/DJ Template

there are two, four channel live PA setups (beats, bass, melody, leads/vocals/one shots) and then you can DJ between the live PA setups. this way you are not constrained to creating your entire PA in a linear way. you make 4 channels worth of clip packs to perform each song, then save them to the browser and bring them into the rig on the fly.

features include:

-full mouseless control and browser access
-2 identical 4 channel live PA setups, left and right.
-2 outputs to the DJ mixer or self contained mixing, whichever you prefer
-new, improved multi fx racks for every channel (dry, loop/grind, dirt, LFO gate, + new 'melt' effect)
-hi/lo pass filters for every channel
-live mic channel
-delay sends, including for the live mic
-control of arrangement from within the PA setups, and when mixing the two sides
-beat repeat punch-ins for every channel
-SIMPLE and flexible control setup
-all this in only 3 pages on the trigger finger! (p1 mixing, p2 + 3 performance l + r)

i'm afraid triceratopz is live 7 only...

sorry about that. live 7 is really a million times better sounding though...
