live 9 - sampler changes?

[ian_halsall]

Any news on this? Like proper automation of sample start, length, etc.?

Automation list editor would be nice for me as well.

in short. No.

I wish they would give it a real time timestretch function - its a bit stupid not to have it in this day and age

fucking madness

and they sell it like it's the dogs bollocks

operator and simpler are probably the best

WOW, I have suite, so I forgot that they 'sell' Sampler.... It's like what, $75 or something right? That's a shame, almost every other sampler on the market has some form of time-stretch (except Reason). And it's not like it's new tech, I think MPC has had it for like 20 years. Just doesn't make sense.

Maybe I should get the new Akai MPC Studio instead of Push + Live 9... At least with that I'll have time stretch!

for sampling i use an octatrack;; very good machine with live

Live 1 had it in clips. It was the basis of Live. Impulse drum machine had it right away. Yet it didn't make it into their top of the line sampler. Makes no sense.

I don't think it should be sold as an add-on, it should just be bundled with the program at this point, but it isn't exactly useless, is it?

The automation alone is reason enough for me to use it. I don't turn to it much for multisampled instruments, I tend to go to Kontakt for those, but I rock the LFO's all the time on other material, and the filter is a distinct step up from Simpler. Simpler is quite handy, of course, but I haven't used it much since I got Sampler. No idea how you think Operator factors into this discussion.

Or maybe it makes perfect sense. If we can timestretch with audio clips, why bother to build it into the sampler as well? Like you said, we've been timestretching with Live since day one. Each audio clip is a little sample playback device with several flavors of stretching.

No. It is in impulse. It can be done using lfos, it should be part of sampler, as should the exposing sample and loop start and end to direct user control. I don't care about the why, if i can whistle into a microphone and get midi data I should be able to automate loop start on sampler. Its a question of where time is invested in the development of the software, Operator got some love, show sampler some sugar n'all.

The problem with the warped clips is you cannot automate the start and end points with enough granularity - you can only go down to like 1/32 I think.

Or you can export the warped clip and use the resulting file - this is tedious and you end up using Simpler.

I mentioned Operator because this was an example of an instrument that is part of Live that is really well thought out and almost everything is automatable - even the oscillator configuration!

Sure we can time stretch in clips, but tell me how to load those clips in drum rack. You can't. So you don't get the basic stretch from impulse. Also, how does time stretch in clips help you play a melodic instruments based on a sample that you want to stay at a constant speed? Map out every clip to a note? People have suggested this and its absurd. No thanks, then that midis channel is mapped permanently and you lose the entire clip functionality of sequencing for the sake of a single instrument. And ifs a pain.
