best looper in the world: POLAR

Post by rixax@vex.net »

All MOTU has to do is add saved times to the commands window and/or make those commands accessible via stream deck or a pedal. That would make this plugin a must have for loopers. Sure you can jump back and forth by quarters or measures but what if you could easily dial up 3/4, create a loop, then 5/4 - loop, then 12/8 - loop, turn off the record and blow.

I had to automate this by recording mouse position, up/down mouse clicks, scroll and select for every meter I wanted. Cumbersome and depending on your cpu you have to add wait times to slow down the actions. Using BOME.

Here's an example.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38ajSK6KXUs

Starts out with 2 beats over 5 to give a false sense of the pulse. Then loops are added at the real tempo. Phasing meters. Vibraphone Improv on top followed by a short V-drum improv. Enjoy
