Loop cuts in Impulse

Check this......try dropping a loop in a slot.Now set markers to just a beat or fraction of a beat.Now drag that clip into an empty slot in impulse. Go back to the same loop and select a different portion of it. Now drop that into another empty slot in impulse....and so on.....that is elegant genius at work.....don't know if any of you had already noticed this ability.....but it made me smile deeply...

A variation of this is to make those cuts and just assign keys or midi notes to them and play

It's not polyphonic doing it that way, so you can't do proper rolls, or have bits tail into each other. Not to mention the "random" settings on the filter, pitch and pan. Try it with a chopped up bit of speech or vocal!

Yeah but like the fella above said...its not polyphonic and you also end up making copies that take up slots......plus you lose all the controls you have on the impulse.....

Yeah, I agree, that for effects like that there are a bunch of advantages using the impulse.

I still prefer doing beat-cutups with clips - I work monophonically on beats, and rolls are easily done using small loops. And it stays synced, the beats are quantized properly, I can do 30 different loops across a midi keyboard, and I don't *need* to drag and drop...

To each his own, I guess.
