A live looping improv jam performed on a DJ TechTools "MIDI Fighter 3D." No phrases or pre-recorded loops were used. Only single notes are being triggered from an instance of NI's Kontakt for drums, and three separate instances of NI's Massive for the bass, lead, and polyphonic synth. The bank-select buttons at the top of the unit selects the proper instrument in Ableton Live.

Tilting the unit to the right controls a low-pass filter on the synths. A backward tilt controls the resonance on those filters, and tilting the unit forward controls modulation/vibrato. The side buttons are controlling Ableton's loopers, and are also used to engage the master filter at the end of the song.

Lemur on the iPad is being used to clear loops and control reverb and delay on all four instruments.

how do you loop your tracks?

[RheyneMusic]

The membrane buttons on the side are mapped to Ableton's Looper plugin (multiple instances of it).

[70blackchild]

what is that ipad app

[RheyneMusic]

That's Lemur.

[Pmgo drums]

do you program midi notes for this... can you make your own scales?

[RheyneMusic]

The MIDI notes are configured the same way an AKAI MPC-style drumpad triggers notes, in a chromatic scale from bottom left to top right, but I don't believe there is presently a way to change the notes or scale without knowing how to edit scripts.

I have to admit whenever I see Rheyne it's like watching an artist paint a picture with a lot of colors but it's all sound!

[Jonathan Hatcher]

You're videos are the only videos I really enjoy watching on YouTube. Thanks for all the inspiration, and for being informative and willing to share your details. I've sold all the guitar equipment I own(been playing 17 years), and invested all the money into synth/midi/recording gear, finally almost finished with my Rheyne-influenced setup:)

[Robin Davidsen]

Amazing! ;)



[Chris Davies]

Unreal. EPIC SKILLS! Love it.

[Ben Tal]

Brilliant. THANK YOU very much for sharing mate.

[Lavesche EDM]

Did you map the light controls too? :>

[Chandler Newell]

could you maybe make a tutorial on how to do that? im interested in layering with looping on my midi fighter 3d.

[Владислав Степанов]

Отлично!!!
