ableton impulse sequenced with bcf 2000 (turned into step sequencer)

we developed a small vst, which works as a 16 step sequencer, where we can assign each step to a button on 8 channels. channel selection can be assigned to MIDI events as well. only 16 buttons (remotable) and 8 pads are requiered to use the plug-in properly (additional 4 pads are recommended for using mute / erase functions).

i've used modeslektor's 20000007 (siriusmo remix)'s first bar as a demo: splitted several instruments and dragged them into impulse.

the sequencer features channel mute, global mute, channel erase and global erase as well, works about like an electribe sequencer, but sequencing is done on the computer (MIDI is only required to controll the sequencer), there's no MIDI / audio latency.

in the video i've assigned 16 buttons of the bcf 2000 to the steps, and channel selection was assigned to the lower 8 pads of my trigger finger. mute / erase commands where assigned to the bcf 2000's transport buttons.

note: the b-controllers (or the drivers) are very sensitive to USB, therefore the sequencer only works properly, when they are assigned to a fully functional USB port. on my dell d630 - which features 4 USB 2 ports - this only works on the primary USB port, which is the top port on the right side of the computer.

do you have any problems with using bcf with LIVE ?

[9b0]

@EitB91 not much. if i was trying to use it as a controll surface, it crashed sometimes, but since then there are newer drivers for the BCF, and Ableton upgraded Live to 8 as well. i´m using it as a standard MIDI controller nowadays, and experienced no problems at all.

how can i make this configutation

[9b0]

@thciccio actually you´d need to create a sequencer for yourself in max4live or a plug-in in any programming language (like C++ as we did). this piece of gear is not published yet...

@9b0 thank you :) ill try to buy bcf :)

pretty cool
