Just discovered Blip by Nicolas Fournel !

Blip is basically a 64 step sequencer, which controls the amplitude, pan and pitch of the loaded samples by rgb colors.

This is such a great Sound Design / Composing / Drumming Tool in which you "paint" your paramter - i had to share with you. From "instant" Autechresque (nah,) to ........ just try it

It's very sophisticated and fun to use. Also it's part of the KVR Development Contest - so if you like it.....vote for it.

ah, it's freeware to ----> http://www.nicolasfournel.com/downloads/blip.zip

Cool app and great fun. Made a great glitchy melody loop almost by accident in just a couple of minutes.

Somewhat similar to Metasynth, although without the FFT/resynthesis part.

damn

you have to download a c++ runtime to run the program

there's a link on the Blip section of the guy's website

"If you get a message "This application failed to start...", you are are missing some dlls. Please install this and you will have everything you need to run Blip, and other Windows programs using the same dlls (it's small)."

haven't got that problem here.....
The program needs components of Visual C++ Libraries - therefor the link to Microsoft.

and yes, pc only.

I've just used it with Virtual Audio Channel to route it's output direct into Live. Hellufa fun

this one?

so the idea it to have 64 shots loaded as a kit and then flail away on it? right?

16 samples I belive. But I had good instant gratification by loading just one longer sample and telling the app to slice it randomly into 16 parts.

@ 4.33
yes it's that one.

Blip is about 64 samples max., and yes the import of large one sample as 64 slices is also a nice feature.

It would be so great to get blip to send midi data.....
