LiveLab.dk has released version 1.3 of LiveSlice, which also adds a VST effect version allowing you to record loops - live - for instant LiveSlicing. Additionally this release includes a number of workflow improvements the most significant being Drag'n'Drop support. New flash demos will be available soon.
Changes since v1.2
New features:
- Live input.
- Drag'n'Drop slices to tracks.
- Preview slices in the arranger.
- MIDI through.
- Loops can now be renamed and saved with a different filename.
- When a loop is not found on disk (i.e. a new recording) it is automatically saved with the song.
- New feature: stretch - automatically pitches all events to make the duration match the project tempo.
- Manual sync will now override host sync information (workaround for hosts that provide incorrect sync info).
- Clicking middle mouse button on a parameter will reset (before it would clear the event underneath).
