MIDI control and actions for trim start / trim end for clips – all while live performing
planned
ultracello
While playing you are able to edit length of a clip tight as your needs. Simply 100% control the loop length and trim start / end of a loop on demand. Totally flexible.
It would be useful if you don't hit the perfect loop and / or you want to create the perfect loop with tight timing of your needs. For instance if you record from radio, YouTube or similar audio sources. But some live looper guys also does not have the 1000% perfect accurate timing. Another reason is to have the ability to trim a loop just to your needs. Personally I often looped something but later I think: wouldn't it be cool to just play a selected loop area from this start point to this end point?
Action and MIDI control:
- button for reset to default trim values (the original untouched recording)
Choose between following possibilities per clip and global:
- trim changes will effect global tempo
- trim changes of a loop will make loop time stretched to the global tempo
- trim changes of a loop will make loop pitch shifted and time stretched to the global tempo
trim start:
- MIDI assignable trim start reset button (means back to default start of loop)
- MIDI assignable knob for continuous scrolling in both directions (I assume this is technically not possible via MIDI)
- MIDI assignable button with plus symbol (+10ms*)
- MIDI assignable button with minus symbol (-10ms*)
trim end:
- MIDI assignable trim end reset button (means back to default end of loop)
- MIDI assignable knob for continuous scrolling in both directions (I assume this is technically not possible via MIDI)
- MIDI assignable button with plus symbol (+10ms*)
- MIDI assignable button with minus symbol (-10ms*)
*Somewhere in the global settings you can change this ms value.
All above: full access via actions. 👍🙏

My primary use case is when I am a bit late pressing the loop button and so I record 1 bar more than I wanted.

Control the "in" and "out" points of the clip using Sliders and Dials

Now we have "Divide Clip Length" and "Multiply Clip Length" for buttons, but I don't see something similar inside the Adjust Parameter in the Clip Actions for Sliders and Dials.
We can build a powerful sampler in our layouts if we have the ability to control every parameter from this menu using Sliders, Dials, and MIDI controllers.

Trim and keep time length and quantized
ultracello
Would like to trim while playing and when doing so, keep the length of the clip, and keep it quantized. Also the audio in clip needs to be quantized.

Please allow this for...
- the full clip
- each overdub layer individually
...via MIDI assignable actions.

Yes! I came here to suggest the same. Assignable in the first instance to widgets which can then be midi mapped.
My use of it would be less “corrective” and more “creative”.
Say I record a loop of several bars in length. I could then adjust its start and stop points, whilst it’s playing back. Creative applications
- could easily make polyrhythms
- could make new surprising sounds, especially if trimming them to be extremely short
- combined with changing the pitch and speed of the clip, could make some really cool ambient fun
- assigning a widget/midi encoder to both start and end points could allow to ‘scroll’ through the clip
- once reverse playback is a reality, the end point could be before the star point and play in reverse.

That would be awesome!

I would like to have this feature for Groups as well.
