stutter effect
stutter effect
Ok, I hate trying to verbally describe a production technique/sonic effect, but here we go...
What is the best way to get a sample/sound/loop to "stutter," then play all the way through? This effect is most often used in percussion tracks in idm and d&b and heavily used in the music of Apparat, Aphex Twin, Dntel, and Monolake. I can reproduce the effect decently using the delay knobs on my Korg ER-1, but the delay is global (bastards!) or by manually chopping up and repeating the beginning of a sample in Live's arrangement view (i.e. pasting the same .01 second slice over and over again, followed by the full sample), but this is too tedious to make sense
There must be a quick, easy way to do this in real time: a plug-in, app, Live technique, hardware unit, etc.
Better still, it would be cool to have pitch and loop length control along with the stutter. This all would be possible - if a little complicated - in Live if the Clip View's transposition knob, loop length, and LOOP button were mappable, and if there was a way (is there?) to make the sample continue playing after the LOOP button is turned off.
Thanks,

Here's a really nice trick I found. Use the following effects chain on a loop- Supatrigga - Gate - Buffer Override. The effects other than the Gate are available at www.smartelectronix.com. This is for instant random stutter madness (experiment with the parameters) or for just one sound just use the buffer override. I think you'll be pleased with the results!!!

Warp markers and transients are all you need, baby.
Try this warp markers: fix one to the position of an attack in say a drum loop by double clicking. Do the same for the two following warp markers. Then take the warp marker that immediately follows the next drum hit and move it as far as you can toward the first warp marker that you double clicked. Set your warp mode to beats to, 1/16, and voila! This is by far the simplest way to stutter edit.
by the way, you forgot us in your list of people who do stutter editing!

Couldn't you split part of the clip (you're millisecond portion) and then use follow actions (like on page 99 of the manual?)
That would be less work than a recurrent cut and paste, no?
Did I misunderstand the question?

Throw this freeware programmable syncable gate plugin into the chain as well.
mgTriggerGate
I just wish they would update it soon and make that swing knob thats been teasing me functional.

cool! It's a bastard that I can't just bookmark this board. those are great suggestions! Another thing you may want to toy around with is Dopplemangler. *sigh* well I've been assigned supper duty tonight - and with the meals my wife has been making, I'd better not fuck up. Some serious culinary precedents have been set - on away from the computer...

i just wanted to point out that dfx on smex have a midi gate plugin that works well in live 4 and is cross-platform - it is easy to miss since it is on their 'extras' page:
