Stutter Edit

This is what I am afraid of.
It looks like you can make a full use of this tool when you load a sample in it more than letting a sound flow into it.
I say this without having tested it; will demo it in ten days as I don't have the time to make a good use of the demo time limit before the beginning of February.
About controlling, there are so many superpowerful midi foot controller nowadays so the fun of midi programming specific strings is always open...

A simpler pedalboard with some foot controllers mapped to continuous controllers is likely to be more use on Artillery etc.

Don't get me wrong: this will process live sound, but it assumes that the sound will be coming into an audio track in Ableton Live, for example. Because it needs the sequencer's bar/beat information. So you're tied to Live's master clock (which may or may not be what you want).

Well, you could use a keyboard: lean forward and press the appropriate keys with your nose while playing guitar. Bet that looks really cool on stage. :lol:

Where's a MIDI chromatic harp when you need one?

Or you could use the instrument of tomorrow...today! http://www.millioniser.com/ :help:

On a neck brace of course.

Not possible I'm sorry, I already use nose while playing, it helps me finding the right notes.
I use Audiomulch as vst host and much more.
Doesn't look there are many Audiomulch users in here or has someone tested this plug inside it already ?

been playing around with the Demo and it sounds great.

im using Mac/logic/AU

Can i only effect Audio tracks ? as obviously you don't get midi/instrument tracks in the side chain drop down menu.

i am aware that you can use it on softsynths by using it as a direct insert however that way you can't control it via midi.

if this is the case then the manual is very confusing as it semi-tricks you into thinking you can use this on Audio and softsynths, when in reality you can only using it on audio tracks if you want to control it via midi.

im not jumping on the bandwagon here,who wants to copy what somebody else does even if it does sound great,i can see this plug getting used on tons of commercial tracks for the next 2 or so years,its a cool,clever program but i would sooner create than copy

its art at the end of the day and you can't tell people what they should or should not use in their art.

Glitching has been used for alongtime now in electronic music this plugin just adds another avenue.

If i was to take your advice then i wouldn't be able to use vocals/guitars/drums/piano/synths/compression/EQ/Reverb in my music because they've all been used before.

looks like the answer to my own question is if i want to use stutter in logic on my soft-synths ill have to send the soft-synth to a Bus then side chain stutter to that Bus making sure the Bus volume fader is at zero , i was hoping for a quicker solution and less fiddly but thats life i suppose.

What?you can't put a glitch plug in on the same page as typical effects such as eq,compression,etc!

Glitch sounds like glitch. Eq and compression are bread and butter sound tools

Your tongue appears to be latched onto izotopes balls on this one :hihi:

Just use the Plug-In from the Midi controlled AU effects, it's a seperate folder in Logic for all Midi controllable Plugs. Then use sidechain input to route Audio into stutter edit.

I think it's awesome. And I'm going to buy it before the demo runs out. Very powerful. Gonna be fun creating whole stacks of... whatever.

One workaround for sending midi instruments through SE, which I worked out on Studio One, is to route the channels you want to effect into a bus and then add SE as a bus effect.

Not sure I'm sold, the effects are impressive but it's going to take a lot of programming to make the thing not make me sound like BT. Will keep on playing I guess.

Here is a demo twisting a beat with some snaps from the "Sync Party"-Set which I started programming today.
