Wiimote Beat Chopper (Jungle/DnB)

[cheesypeanuts]

this is fucking militant you are a genius

[Nauseousyouthfuture]

Nice man

[1nfinitezer0]

this is really well done!! could you say more about the ensemble? is it based around beatlookup? what is the granular efx you are using, cuz they sound great! (and that's after youtube compression even, hah)

[tommitytom]

@1nfinitezer0 Nah it was based more around the Exile beat chopper patch.. after reverse engineering I built my own with a few more features added. For example the Exile patch allowed you to access the first 2 beats of the loop, where this allows you to access any beat of a loop and assign it to any button on the wiimote. There are no granular effects as such.. however it makes use of "buzz" from the exile patch which could be seen as granular I guess.

[fugazi32]

Amen!

[xdeville1]

yeah man

[themichaelc]

this is awesome!

[adj789]

cool stuff

[tetavo]

aphex twin :)

[mattehISme]

@tetavo more like v snares because its more breakcore

[tetavo]

@mattehISme yeah, true :)

[mattehISme]

@tetavo heehee

[PuzzleDNB]

Holy fuck thats sick

[irndemon]

Cool!

nice amen edits : )

[therealbombassa]

wish i could do that.

any recommendations on where to start?

[MashUpBizznizz]

Yeah, start by taking loads of mescaline.

[therealbombassa]

leg end

[Mushulous]

Ok NOW I want a Wii. At least for the remote.

[xMaStRmAtTx]

its not for the wii. all you need is the wiimote nunchuck and a bluetooth connection for your pc. then use some sort of PIEglove script im guessing to run it

[baacardi]

way too fucking cool.

[Alephinaction]

but HEYYY!!! that's NO jungle dnb!!!

maaan... no flavour...

[detunedubstep]

that had better be a joke!

no flavour? you chat shit

[Alephinaction]

jungle is much more softer than this hardcore- like tune; really

[roboflamingo]

holy shit

[MyLegendarySelf]

Saddens me that nothing any 3rd party developers will ever make the entire 2 more years (or shorter) that the Wii is out will be anywhere near this good.

Nintendo pisses me off.

[nantocsem]

Very easy to connect a WiiMote to a PC with linux, you can get by one-click the necessary libraries

[quartercherries]

how does one go about connecting the wii controller to a pc to achieve motion-based remote control?

[tommitytom]

Google GlovePIE

[oaltairao]

so are you using this w/ reaktor standalone or in a daw?

[tommitytom]

Standalone

[AWRIGHT69]

This is mint, I wish I was this good.

[Miami08www]

You´re helly insane...LOVE IT!

[mssamnt]

i wanna say this is fake i wish i could see the screen

[tommitytom]

I'll let you know now - I don't have the time to sit around and learn to mime pressing buttons on a Wiimote to jungle :P And if I did do that, I would've chosen a good song at least.. not one that sounds like someone making music with a Wiimote..

[mssamnt]

k. you have dreds in this video?

[strgzr53]

@tommitytom suprisingly its not that bad for what it is. im a big dnb freak and it sounds damn good im suprised. did you have to make any custom software?

[strgzr53]

@mssamnt its realy easy to set the wii remote up just takes a bluetooth reciever and some software.

[breakwhore]

lovely

[illroy77]

WoW! Rock that shit Homey!

[MikaTechnika]

excellent!!!

[DjRevTech]

WICKED, how do you do this stuff with the wii and the computer?

[hoodyGSA]

plug bar in [to use wiimote as mouse] and use bluetooth stick thing

[wpisme823]

mate! that is unreal

[emmaaaa2]

niceee

[21Jewel]

positive +

[Dicebox]

yeah dude :D

[miklasS3]

Nice hair man ;]

[meowtek]

wow. is that an original ensemble?

[successiveaspect]

nice

[envindavsorg]

Mate, you kill it! Thinking of doing something similar in MaxMSP when I get my hands on some controllers. Respect! Would love to get a copy of that ensemble, any plans to release it?

[egosBPT]

Yo so what program is this, looks like fun!! :)

[pinterpinter]

probably ableton, though i'd like to know too!

[tommitytom]

It's Reaktor

[letmeatem]

man that is one NICE hack... i would love a tutorial on this if you wouldn't mind like

[letmeatem]

NICE HACK!!!!

[Shiftie09manz]

Oh yeah, nice dreads.

[Shiftie09manz]

thats fuckin heavyyy. Keep at it.

[mzwallah]

This is cool man, keep it doing it!

[semjonek]

big inna jungle

[LewisFilms]

Props! That's dope as hell!

[theapc]

there were a few moments in the drums where i thought i was hearing squarepusher.

killer work man.

any chance you want to share that ensemble?

pretty please :P?

[karoolta]

that was phat

god that looks like so much fun

[JungleAWayOfLife]

BLOOD

[ZebbMassiv]

fuck if i had that game i'd play all day

[pubi0]

jungle rulez.......raaaaaastafunrai

[marycontrary]

aaaah.

[robimess]

all made in reaktor, wii mote control can be a MIDI controler

·dot· / / vjkungfu . tv / archive /w ii-to- mid i-wal kthrough- fo r - w indows/

there is a link how to "wiimote-midi"

peace

[seabef]

wtf! man how have u done this, is this a actual wii game, or a patch on computer or something? please explain i want in on this :)

[tommitytom]

Maybe when Wii homebrew is possible I'll be able to make it in to a game that will be playable on the Wii.. but until then it's just a program on a PC :)

[seabef]

which program? anyone? pls help out, again, i want in.

[Shiftie09manz]

Reaktor, i think.

[detroithype]

MASSIVE!!!!

[kvaliteet]

hey! how long was the orginal break u used (how many bars)?

[tommitytom]

4 bars - it had the odd reverse and timestretch thrown in for a bit of variation, as this version of the beat chopper didn't have a timestretcher. There is a record function built in though, where if I hold Z and hit the Home button, it records whatever chopping I do, and plays it back as a loop.

[Metal7shell]

Nice! Fellow dreadhead just jammin along with my djembe.

[hsdkahkjcbaksc]

P.S. - I would like to ask if you have some other tracks we can check out, cause I can't seem to get to your channel :( Cause if you can do this with a wiimote, I can't imagine what stuff you got going for real :) So sick !!!

[axolotl84]

could you please explain how you've done this? i've managed to get my wiimote to show up in logic and its registering my movements but i can't seem to assign it to anything. and the patch you're using on reaktor, is that part of the library or is it your own ensemble? if the latter is the case would there be any possibilty of obtaining it. any info much appreciated.

[sighwonder]

Stop using the Fucking Amen Break!

[Willhelmet6845]

amen break isn't classic for no reason my man

[bennybobjoe]

How about go ask rock bands to stop using guitars.

Doesn't make much sense does it?

[sighwonder]

haven't you noticed that even guitar players even change their guitars during songs and in between sets.

take a look at eddy van halen, thier most popular song to date is with a synth, i know what i am talking about, i'm not saying don't use the amen to sound cool or to hate, i say it because everyone uses it as if there are any other breaks to abuse, shit is tired and played out.

kinda sucks when every jungle sounds the same ya know

[tommitytom]

No :)

[hsdkahkjcbaksc]

Dude you say you know your shit, but you don't imho. The amen has a frequency spectrum that can be changed to no end for getting various soundings to it. Usually jungle amens are layered and more diverse than just an eq-ed, distorted, gated, compressed or whatever amen. You know what sux ? Those kick-hat-snare-hat rock beats... What's the deal with that, huh... Insane shit dude - keep it up !!! Blew me away !!!

[JoeHensson]

I guess if you don't like jungle, and be more of a rock fan, then the amen seems mediocre. Although I too, do not care too much for this one, I really like the performance and the setup. Great work and inspiring too, even for non jungle appreciaters!

[gimpinyourwindow]

nice one. see you there!

[gimpinyourwindow]

thats some sick shit. you going to glade this year?

[tommitytom]

Of course :)

[junglestreet]

theres just a never ending supply of what you can do with that 6 second amen brother drum solo break from the winstons.

[autechre0ler]

Killer track mate! Diggin ya nattyz=] what ensemble file is this? if its a personal one could i bum it off ya? respek

[basshell667]

sounds pish

[cole420]

that's really cool. how much of the break edits are written out before hand and how much is controlled with the wii? and what parameters are you controlling?

[miakonkee]

Section 9 is a two-man dnb production/dj ensemble based out of Chicago, IL. Made up of Jeremy Stacy (aka

Known for spinning the hardest and most cutting-edge neurofunk around, Section 9 seeks to create the soundscape of the future through use of advanced performance technologies like a modified virtual reality interface glove designed to work with their music, amongst a blend of other hardware & software.

[MikeHunt79]

Sick! Do you know where I can get more info on using reaktor with a wiimote?

Note, this isn't on a Wii, it's on a PC. :P Reaktor isn't out on the Wii.

[xyakovx]

thats brilliant, Reaktor is such a powerfull program, I've always wanted to know how to use it but as soon as I open it up I just get stumped.

I got a mate who uses it and does live stuff like this

myspacedotcom/techdiff1

[whitewolf607]

wow!!! thats awesome how you did you do it?

[thekingofcoffee]

Ive got a wii....what game is this??? or is it a fake...

[SleXonBLOODSPORT]

with a nintendo wii ???? n1 n1 goes #pg @ quakenet

[djeye77]

n1 ;)

[Lindholmer5k]

Damn poor.. Either ye suck at it, or the program sucks

[tommitytom]

Care to elaborate? I'm open to criticism, as long as it's constructive!

[therealbombassa]

its all about rhythm dave.

learn to love

[dave2101]

ppl listen to this music?

[scarecrowsblunt]

MASSIVE, is in the house!

I'd love to hear more of you!!!

Very nice one!!!!!

[Lawnwake]

:D I love you

[bilbobagginses]

this is the future right here, nice one!

[ocalorkun]

respect!

[supahseven]

sick jungle shyt

[benhex]

nice one.

[theXORone]

R35P3CT M4N!!!

[jaymonbeats]

hellz yea...that is what im talkin about..i love the chopped up amens..im defly goin out to get a wiimote and hook it up to reaktor.

[zlayzer]

Well being able to hack the Wiimote will make it alot easier to play with a Wii Emulatour Because then so can you just buy a game place it in your CD/DVD Reader then plug in the WiiMote and then start up the Wii Emulatour And enjoy all the games Wii Has to offer since you wont have to buy the console :D

[tommitytom]

Wii/GC discs aren't readable in a PC - and I don't expect there will be a Wii emulator anytime soon!

[zlayzer]

well it will probbly come a emulatour next year and then some sweet games on Thepiratebay for wii then you just mount it with the emulatour since thats exactly what you do with a GC , PS2 , Xbox emulatour

[harrybo2k2]

yo yax to the max init fo shizzle

[Eebocaster]

Is there a quick way to disengage the controllers?

[tommitytom]

How do you mean? I have button combinations that turn effects on and off, such as the filters and the recording/looping etc.

[kevitron]

what reaktor .ens is that? nice job!

[tommitytom]

It's a custom built beat chopper patch - similar in ways to the Tim Exile patch.

[Eebocaster]

Ah gotcha! genius!

[chearmstrong]

Better than the 'Nintendo wiimote DJ + DS VJ (Daito Manabe + TCY)' video and his random waving.

[kahuitel]

Man ! Please show us the secret to wii'n'bass and wiigle !!! :)

[insternational]

can you make a video showing how you do that?

all the steps on the wii and computer etc?

[djvartan]

Sweet

[LittleMissLauren]

phatphat =)

[o0dekker0o]

thats nutz! really good

[bervan43]

oh my. wicked!

[rewtuser]

That is fantastic, what kind of hardware did you need besides the wiimote?

I'd like to see Mr. Funk (of Venetian Snares) get ahold of somthing like that.

[tommitytom]

Just a bluetooth adapter!

[bitplane]

tom yax with da jungle trax! awesome :)
