So I have been thinking about this for a while, Im not sure if everyone is familiar with a technique that Alex Kidd uses in various songs. Basically it it takes a vocal sample and and then almost makes a synth out of it by cutting to the last syllable. Kind of like "give us the money sho...aww..aww..aww.aww" as taken from Money Shot by Dark by Design and Alex kidd. (Probably really easy to do in studio, but tough live)
So basically what I am trying to do is mess around with traktor so that when you take a loop, and you shorten it, it doesnt move the latter marker back, but rather the former marker forward. Then mix that in with a bit of a gater, and you would have in essence a single note synth.
This probably makes little sense without a good example... which I just found.
