Hi, axoloti community!
Was wondering is it possible to make looper, witch loops an audio sample and overdubs itself forever?? I know there are looper patch examples around here, im will look into them, mostly im interested in that repeat and overdub part.
Well, it's easy to set up a decent length delay with 100% feedback. The tricky part is the logic that allows you to set the length on the fly.
The looper objects made by rbrt are just what you need, work really well and offers you easy record, play and overdub swiches. https://sebiik.github.io/community.axoloti.com.backup/t/rbrt-contributions/1103/3?u=mtyas
He has also got a mono and stereo version with a feedback inlet, that allows you to allow the loop to fade out (very useful)
These objects are really great and useful, they don't use up too much CPU, so it's quite easy to add one to a existing patch and allow great performance possibilities.
You can even plug a clock input with the record switch, using an "and" maths object, so that your loop is in sync with a sequencer or something clocked.
So allow me to use this space to thank @rbrt for the great contribution. It gets a lot of very fun use on my side of the world.
This only quantizes the recording lenght but I think the loop will start to drift out of sync after time since it's length in samples won't neccessarily fit into the amount of clock ticks.
I think hardware loopers always apply a little bit of timestretching in order to keep the material in sync, since clock ticks might be inbetween samples.
But anyways @rbrt's looper are a great thing to start with.
The delay module of @DrJustice works great for doing this. You can feed it a clock input and use the divoverride inlet to set delay times that a subdivions of the clock pulse on the fly!
P.S. @Memko
generally speaking the delay approach or the looper are good to start with. You can also start to patch your own looper, wich leaves you more flexibilty but wich is also more complex.
