🧵 #MIDI madness for controlling #Guitarix #Looper from my #Akai #LPD8…

The Akai's touch buttons / drum pads can send Note, CC or Program Change. #Carla needs MIDI CC to control plugins, #gxLiveLooper needs one-shot messages for erasing tracks, yet it needs something on-off for recording. Basically: “hold the rec button” – but how, I need my hands to play, so I need to toggle that.

Solution: Set Akai controller to note mode. Split the “keyboard” so that the upper 4 keys/drum pads get passed on straight in channel 9, and the lower 4 run in channel 10, to which MIDI Note Toggle reacts. Then convert anything note to CC using MIDI Note to CC.

Let's see of this works in a little jam…

Note that I do not intend to do a timed looping performance like these many YouTube artists overdoing Ableton Live, I need drone sounds from bass guitar to be fed into #AudioDamage #Descent #GranularDelay, so timing is not that relevant.

As usual, the delayed upload to YouTube: Exploring AudioDamage's AD061 Descent Granular Delay/Reverb.

Gear porn usually yields a few views on YT, while original music doesn't. It's almost opposite on PeerTube / MakerTube for me.

AudioDamage AD061 Descent won't let me off the hook.

It's a granular delay/reverb #plugin that is a lot of fun. However, I now found out that what I'd like to have is something that is more related to the granular delay in my beloved #Soma #Cosmos “Drifting Memory Station”.

The big deep bass #drone to rule them all, with sparkling mid-high freq stars!

So, adding to yesterday's video, I added a stereo auto panner and a looper. The #Guitarix looper isn't that great to use, for real fun I'd need to get my AKAI button controller to interact.

It's the first time I am considering taking a PC-based setup on stage one fine day. The sound is just too great…

I usually use a simple Mooer RedTruck for playing fretless bass live, but in comparison to the FX by TC and the Eden WTDI + Descent plugin, it sounds cheap.
