All this talk is getting me excited. Thanks for the post. I was a little put off that glitch was not available for OSX, but this might be what I need instead.

Lucifer is definately some fun-


Hey Sweets-
have you been rockin out Lucifer with the touchscreen, bet thats a hoot.

Wow that was making my brain hurt trying to follow his mousings and musing...what I really want is this guy to make the Lucifer demo reel.

cool plug, thanks for the heads up on it!

the weird thing is I tried the demo forever ago and hated it cause I couldn't get it to do a damn thing, then I tried it again out of utter boredom and it's turned out to be one of my favorite plugins of all times. lifes funny like that.

if anyone else is interested you should also check out artillery by sugar bytes. it's also along the same lines as this but a totally different package as well.

theres a good video of the dude using it.

hey bro,

nah not yet,

my touchscreen interface is still in progress, after my first week of noodling around, ive come up with a format but getting the behaviour logic to work has been a hell of a lot of work.

ive finally nailed the interface for my overview and now i can focus on creating custom pages for effects and step sequencers ive got in the works.

its frustrating but i feel like ive overcome my major hurdle today when i nailed the UI and can start to link things to ableton and make bleeps and stuff

im not sure how i would use lucifer with a touchscreen. its quite good with the Remote SL.

See what ive done with the touchscreen is made certain things recallable immediately and load up into the remote SL and thats where i do my real work. the touchscreen just gets me from A-B withoput a mouse and without looking at ableton's interface yet still retaning control over everything.

dummy clips worked well with lucifer, theres a part of it i found where you can route things to generic midi cc's which means everythin that isnt already mapped out natively can be controlled in a fashion deemed suitable by the user.

then theres the different modes... pitch and quantize which let you do some musical glitches... all that is really fun to play with dummy clips setting things into motion and then jamming on the keyboard to twist it up.

This actually happened when I first tried Live when it was version 2 or 3 - can't remember. I tried the demo and opened it up with a view to hate it without really trying it for some reason because people were raving about it! Then I tried it again randomly and have been hooked ever since!

I watched the Lucifer video tutorial last night and, also, was rather amazed — esp. given that I, too, had been totally "meh" about it when I dl'd the demo sometime back.

Does anyone know what the limitations are on the demo?

personally i think the problem is that he doesn't set the demo up at all for the user, there should be presets ready to go, and the note button on the bottom left.... jesus.... there should be a pop up on the demo that says "push the note button the bottom left if you want anything cool to happen"

I believe those are called "presets";-) -- and yes, they would be awesome in Lucifer...

I think theres a lot they could do with the overall GUI and workflow to make it more user friendly, but hey, its still amazing.
