Need a live looper, What's your favourite looper?

Post by oceanzen » Mon Dec 19, 2016 1:37 pm

I'm redesigning my live set and want to make live looping a core part of it.
I have Live suite with max for live and Komplete 9 (considering upgrading to K11)

I need a looper that can be playable on a keyboard, and one that I can easily live sample something in a looper then something else in a second looper or second channel then take the overall result and sample that in one looper while being able to thn take that audio loop and assign it to a keyboard to play.

What looper would you recommend?

Thanks a lot :D

Thanks madlab, but Live's looper isn't mappable to a keyboard in order to play, as far as I'm aware so not really what Im after

Garyboozy, this looks very promising, Thanks a million! :D

Has anybody tried Tim Exile's Flow looper? It's free and works in free Reaktor 6.

Im not sure if it's a much more limited version of his own live setup or if it'll actually allow exile style, looping and laying on a keyboard

What do you mean by "playable on a keyboard" exactly?

Imagine taking a 1 bar loop then that loop being assigned to a sampler/keyboard roll so that c3 plays that loop at the original tempo, c2 and octave down at half speed etc

There are some things in your preferences that are kind of tricky. The tools for each are available through various means, but all-in-one options are less available.

Maschine can sample pretty well.

I guess something in M4L based around the fabulous Karma~ object could do this.
