. Glad you like itHi Glenn, great to see your presence here on the Live forum. I'm a big fan of RMX, and also really like the way it integrates into my workflow with Live.GlennO wrote: Regarding cpu usage of the reverb, there are 2 reverbs included with RMX: a simple one which is light on the cpu, and a sophisticated one which uses more cpu. As with all reverbs, there is a tradeoff between audio quality with cpu usage.
Sure, RMX lets you import your own loops (as long as they're rex2 format) and than you can mangle them any which way. Besides loops, RMX comes with a huge assortment of one-shots and various other bits you can use to add flavor to your own loops.djadonis206 wrote:hmmm - so stylus RMX can import rex files
can you import your own loops and then replace different parts of the loop with your own drums?
I try not to use pre-made (or factory) loops and drums
most if not all my loops are samples from vinyl
can you do that with RMX?
curious
I just want to add something that no one mentioned so far - that you can also use RMX as a MIDI drum sampler to play ordinary MIDI sequences. I've found it very good for that appliciations because of the Chaos (random) function. You can set how much each drum sound will vary by random in pitch or stutter effect or whatever.
Speaking about that I just want to ad that "being open" is what GURU is about. You can use it as pHATmatic Pro to slice up drum beats. But it's really cool to slice up any recorded noise and let GURU automatically analyze and map audio slices where they sonically fit best; kick drum similar sound, hihat similar sound etc. This means whatever source audio used for auto-slicing will make sense if auto sliced and driven by MIDI drum parts (or the built-in step sequencer).solar28 wrote:IF stylus rmx were to "open up a bit" and allow importing of wav files, to me it would be unbeatable.

A set of keys will contain all the bass hits, snares, etc. Essentially the groove becomes a drum kit. Will also work with Trigger Finger. I know that phatmatik does this and guru, but important not to forget that stylus does this.
2) Take a loop, and select ANY sound (or sub group of sounds), and apply effects INDEPENDENTLY to that subgroup. Want an echo on each quarter note? There instantaneously -- just slap the effect on down beats. What about the "and" of beats 1 and 3? There.
Take either of the above and multiply it by 8! Eight separate grooves can be set up and effected this way.
3) Or -- switch to a different mode, and now you can start/stop grooves either in time with the beat or instantly. I.E. if you have eight loops going, they are all automatically assigned a key. In this way you can mix and match the loops to make a combo groove out of all of them (i.e. loop 1 for 1 beat, then loop 2/3 combined for the next beat, then loops 1,7,8 for the next measure, etc you get the idea)
5) as mentioned before many of the elements are ("hits") are already available as separate samples/one shots. So you can just choose among these to build a custom kit and play a beat from scratch.

for the sake of being a PITA- what of these points could i NOT do with my C64 with recycle & my Akai 1000
agreed! my being a PITA has little to nothing to do with the original post. just being a PITA and expressing my thoughts on Stylusglitchrock-buddha wrote:Two- and more imoprtantly, if edit groups worked with a graphical waveform view like phatmatik or intakt. If you could pick the slices visually by hand to be in an edit group it would be infinitely better. That way you're not stuck with the options given. As it is now, its a pain and a bit limiting having to chose 1/16th notes or 1/8ths or whatever with no visual representation.
Glenn, if you're reading, I love it, but point #2 is really important in loopware.
cheers,
