I can't believe it took you this long. Haven't I ranted about this long enough with all my "Fyck serato, this this costs 100 bucks...".

Anyways, are using it with a midi crossfader to control live's crossfader or routing back out to your mixer. I use to have pinky going to my mixer, but that took 4 ins and 2 outs for one deck. Now with the x-session pro, just 2 ins is fine. And the faders good (with the minor adjustment). Set your sample folder in pinky to your live recordings folder and scratch what you record.

Anyways, welcome to the club.

dunno man, dunno... I wrote it all off until I could scratch clips, this isn't a bad solution.

I ended up using both the mixer x-fader and the whammy bar on a synth that's right next to the mixer. midi seems to be a better solution when latency's high, there's the audio latency then the latency for the system to sync onto the timecode and get going (I assume that's correct.)

Anyways, welcome to the club.

thanks!! I did a great job on my first day insulting their god, great job TD!!! it'll be interesting to see how ammobox turns out, it's definitely much more than the initial video.

edit - Winston - on my mixer if I put both contour knobs all the way clockwise the audio in Pinky cuts but it's just loud enough to keep sending clock. too cool. too cool.

btw I'm thinking aa CDJ is in order, I have a TTX and the SL1200 is on a shelf, I don't DJ and I stopped learning beat juggling when I got Live. BUT a CDJ seems great just to keep as a steady clock source, I'm browsing a lot and replaying the vinyl many many times. any tips on a CDJ? LOL I guess any CD player will do for that. ahhh, to be a n00b.

Can't say I have any tips for those, I'd never get one, but we probably have different uses for the stuff. I just have ms.pinky to scratch whatever I want in live and save the setup/samples with the song as the pinky plug-in. So you don't have to remember what samples go where from an external source. I don't mix anymore, so I don't need the clock source stuff or anything.

Winston - is this a 'new' trick?

'crop' all your clips (right click)
then point Ms Pinky to the crop directory.
boom, perfectly cropped sample loops that are in sync with your project.

yeah, I do similar things, a handful of battle records to scratch over and get goofy with. I was learning to beat juggle when I got Live 3, then it was all over and just begun.

have you been able to get the max/msp stuff working? I opened the example projects the other night and nothing would react, haven't really tried to hard, Pinky is a million times more fun than max.

Cool trick man, hadn't thought of that.

Tone Deft wrote: have you been able to get the max/msp stuff working?

Do you mean stuff specifically for max/msp owners? 'cause I don't have that. Or do you mean binky toy, maxi-patch and maxi-patchAO? Those all work fine, but I use the pinky pluggo mostly.

this is an eggcorn. the correct phrase TD was after is 'cutting off your nose to spite your face' not despite.

TD is this 'crop all clips' in Live 7? i can't find it, and this is a good idea i'd like to try out.

crop - ctrl-a to select all your clips, right click on one to see crop in the menu. you should then see your clips to that progress bar thing one at time. the manual says Live adds 50mS to each end of a cropped sample. I didn't notice this because I kept scratching the sample, but it does drop back in the mix rather nicely.


re that saying: I was listening to some Beastie Boys track and a line came up that sounded like 'despite' instead of 'in spite' which got me thinking of how much that phrase can change by swapping one syllable. I was wondering if anyone would notice the change, they most certainly did! rap and the 'net ain't nothin but wordplay.

for anyone playing along at home, I started n00bing it up over here

just got some good advice on stream scratching and sending CCs.

Pinky forums is dead so I'm ranting here.

Winston - I accidentally recorded the timecode being scratched instead of Pinky's output. but now I have something like a 'scratch envelope' that I can apply to anything in Pinky.

my head's spinning about the usefulness of this. ultimately you have to move the vinyl on the beat, IOW the end of the envelope has to leave off so the scratched section is on the beat, all the while you're emulating all this back and forth scratching, all those back and forths have to add up to being in time with the loop's length, make sense? is this feasible/possible?

I could play around with that but I'm off on other tangents.


btw freeze/flatten then crop a midi loop to make it scratchable. then just hit undo to return the midi to normal, or copy it off first.

You got your ammobox replacement done yet Tone?
