Howdy!
I came up with a new controllerism setup today that I feel I should share. Never seen anyone doing it, and given it involves a MF Pro and the fact DJTechTools inspired my interest in controllerism, I thought I should stick it up here to give you an idea if you're in a creative block, or inspire something new
Basically, in Ableton, I take a track I want to jam on, stick an instance of iZotope Stutter Edit on it. Then take another audio track, and route the audio from the previous track pre-FX into this. Then I plug in my midi fighter, and tweak a Stutter Edit preset so that each button (and knob and fader end points) triggers a different stutter. I then make the crossfader on my APC40 to cross fade between the two audio tracks.
A relatively simple setup, but it means you can have one hand on the crossfader, one bashing away on the midi fighter, and you can jam away for hours . Feels (and sounds) a little bit like an old school dj doing a scratch routine, but with a very new school feel to it too. Lots of fun! The arcade buttons really make it a whole level more fun and playable then other midi buttons
Anyways, also like to give a thanks to DJTechtools for inspiring me keep it creative!
