Ha, typical after thinking i'd found it out myself you go and post the same solution! I've been ripping looper apart since i got the beta of 8, should have a tutorial going up on djtechtools.com in the next week or so, i've managed with some midi loopback stuff, dummy clips and the most complex bomes set up i've ever completed (with 8 double shift fnctions, don;t record if playing, don't play if recording etc).... To have the jump actions of Beatlookup, which are infitely adjustable from the point of view of length of clip, start point, quantize, speed and direction of playback etc etc etc....
I've found the joystick on my MicroKontrol to be the best way of controlling the reverse as it reverts back to off when released, mapping down to reverse with left to right as speed means you can do some turntable style rewinds that sound different every time, something you can't do with Reaktor.....
Not sure yet on the pseudo scratching, i'm going to have to experiment more with it, but i'm sure that the frequency shifter is going to be wicked with some dummy clips stepping the pitch up quantized per beat (thinking of the old metalheads track Terminator....)
So now we can emulate, pitch up and down, infinite gate patterns with dummy clips, stutter, rewind....
What else have you guys come up with,, lets get sharing!!
Cheers
