RE: Live 4 and the EDP

["Neil Goldstein" <ngold@comcast.net>]

Very cool thread. Probably repeating what you guys have said, but
thinking out loud:

In a sense a single well thought out midi clip in Live can act as a
macro. So with one foot press you can have a single switch launch a
remote control of the EDP with say:

Record new loop for 2 bars, reverse, overdub for 6 bars, end overdub,
reverse (contained in a single Live midi clip template). 

At bar 8 of your piece set up a new 1 bar EDP via next loop

At bar 32 go back to your original loop, or do a new loop.

Etc, etc.

Each Live midi clip can have a different simple or elaborate series of
actions. This really is a compelling way to work. Keeping it simple and
modular you can perform any combo of these at any point or  prearranged
in line with a song's arrangement.

One of the benefits of this is that you don't have to have the EDP sync
to Live's clock, so you're free to perform freestyle along with your
tracks not tied to any quantization, but have all the quantization you
need via these Live clip macros.
