Ableton Effect: Timecode Vinyl

Patch · Post by **Patch** » Tue Mar 11, 2008 11:15 am

Okay - we all know that Deckadance is available as a VST to be used in a host. Why can't Ableton build an effect specifically for Timecode vinyl control of CLIPS ONLY. By that I mean, you'd drag a clip (either from the session grid, or the browser) into a slot on the Timecode Effect, allowing you to manipulate the clip using Timecode Vinyl.

I'd see the effect decoding a SINGLE timecode signal (not like deckadance where both timecode signals are decoded in a single VST on a single channel) - so if you were want to use 2 timecodes, you'd need to put the Timecode Effect onto 2 separate channels...

I WOULD LOVE THIS.

It can't be too tough. Most of the Timecode Vinyl software out there is pretty much the same thing (PCDJ/Numark Cue/Numark Virtual Vinyl/VirtualDJ, etc, etc...) - so they must be licensing it from somewhere.

Why can't Ableton lisence this software for use in an internal effect?

+1 for a minimal ableton like designed and stable internal tc-plugin.

Get Ms. Pinky and load it into Live as Pluggo effect,
Costs only 99$ and screws all the serato's, and deckadance's in terms of beeing creative with different media.

I've given this a lot of thought. I already have Mixvibes + Deckadance. They are not conducive to Live performance (in relation to Ableton, anyway). A tc controller in live would allow you to manipulate a clip that you've just created from within your liveset. A native TC controller in Live would rock.

...hehe - yep you sure were!

this is a great idea. I've been checking out deckadance as well... but as always, having a native solution (plus all the nice integration tricks ableton are so good at), would open up enormous possibilities!

It's so easy to do, I don't know why they don't just create it now and release Live 8!

I think it's gonna boil down to Abletons choice NOT to focus on DJ's...

+1, Vinyl timecode isn't just for DJs. Producers scratch, cut and mix all sorts of stuff, and having timecode support will let us lowly producers be hip like a dj! (sorry, got a little sarcastic there, but I really do want this!)
