the benihana technique- how to chop audio in real time

This is a quick tutorial on a technique I use called "benihana" to chop audio on the fly. Using Midipipe in conjunction with ableton live, I can get a momentary gate effect on audio that is not possible to do with Ableton out of the box.
For better examples of this technique in action, check out my performance videos or this 45 minute live mix on soundcloud:

@elevated001 what I found out after posting this is that most newer controllers with software editors can be configured to send two messages- one on, one off. But I don't know of a way to do this with just Ableton and no external software. Thanks for finding me btw, great hanging out last night. Were you tagged in those FB photos?

[elevated001]

Bingo found a way-- no external software required. Not even M4L. Hit me up,, !

Yo do I met u @ Warper party last night. So this is what u were talking about,, I dig that gating effect, but I can NOT seem to accept there is no way to do this in Ableton only.
