Recreating djm800 echo in ableton?

Post by supayoot » Thu Dec 01, 2011 1:54 pm

Noob question maybe but I've been trying to recreate the DJM800 echo out with the fx in Ableton and the closest I can get is using the Ping Pong delay, but this clearly bounces from left to right. Can anyone suggest which delay to use and the settings? Obviously the number of beats per delay is easily switchable.

On the 800 I usually echo out with 50% depth and have tried in Ableton but either get ducking when the effect hits or have to create a separate track for the effect.

I'd like to just drop the effect over the track in question and punch in and out.

Maybe someone has set up and template of the DJM effects for Ableton? Wishful thinking maybe.

Appreciate any help here.

Beatrepeat set to the size grid you want it to repeat with the decay set to taste, I normally haven't set around 30% decay and it gives me a good sounding echo kill.....

I have buttons on my Launchpads set to momentary beat repeats of different grid sizes with another button that toggles the decay on and off giving me the choice of both effects... This is done with max4live however as part of my Isotonik and Oktopad devices....

To do it with midi first group the beat repeat in a rack and map the repeat button to a macro....

You don't say which controller your using, I may be able to be more specific if ivehad experience with it...

Cheers

Until you find something better you could put a utility after the Ping Pong delay and lower the width...
