Re: Loop software with varispeed



Also, i find that it is extremely helpful to scale the volume somewhat inversely to the playback speed - make slower sounds louder, faster ones softer. otherwise the highs get too shrill and the lovely lows disappear.

wow thats interesting... damn another reason for me to look more closey at SW... ha ha

Seriously, I AM interested in hearing examples of this rate shift effect, All I can imagine is a clattering of out of sync rhythms, which someone is dubiously" calling "polyrythmical". Maybe what Im getting at here is actually pointing towards a "new feature" for all you clever s/w writers there...
How about a "SUS Rate Shift - Measure correction" Preset/Script/Parameter.
So you select a Quantise amount, say 8th. AND a rate shift amount say a 5th up. So the this parameter ...( wait begining to se that this wouldnt work... damn - Ill continue with explanation tho), upon pressing footpedal, will , after quantise amount, shift to specifyed rate shift amount. so you release you pedal after a bit and insead of jumping back to corrct pitch imediatly, it waits till it has filled the "HOLE" left by speeding up the music, so for a 5th up it would play twice for every 1 8th that you recorded into. An 8th DOWN would either insert an extra portion OR if it was half way through its 8th, could cut in half... (confused... yeah me too) Just an idea...

Anyway, the idea is that despite stomping about in a 16 beat measure, and pitching aboot all over the shop, the measure always stays 16 beats long, but not there are 2 double speed beats where 1 used to be, and 1 half speed beats where 2 used to be??
