does anyone know how to use the blue glitch in ableton so that it doesn't sync with what's playing but only to the moment you turn it on? i want to use the vinyl record stop effect so that i can push a button at any time and it behaves like when you press stop on a vinyl record player... even when you press at a non rythmical moment (e.g. somewhere randomly in the middle of a bar)

You can use automation clips.. Or do you mean when playing live? then i'd just add it as an effect to a certain channel (in your case the master), link it to a midicontroller, et voila :)

the problem is that i want to use the first effect for 16 bars, but then i can only trigger it once every 16 bars, and i want to use it in a theatre show and the moment it needs to be triggered can be at any moment, not nessecarily at a rythmically correct time.

Hmm so you want it to be programmed to switch on randomly? Don't know how you could do that, sorry :p

google & download the dblue tapestop, its just the tapestop effect without anything else like bitcrusher and no sequencer attatched. it works with seconds instead of bars..


I use it all the time (dblue glitch is fun, but it limits you in so many ways, while just cutting, re-warping and rewinding yourself and using external effects like bit crusher, tapestop you can give so much more personality to your music)

thanx for the tip just what i need
