Using Multi Cues & Loops – Tutorial
http://youtu.be/ktADwlMuDnU
Here’s a brand new tutorial from MixrDJ – Learn how to master the multi cues to quickly produce loops, cuts and remixes with muscle memory exercises and technique. Mixr features 4 hot cues that allow you to instantly go back to a specific point in time. You can tap on multi cue/loop button to activate the panel. To set a cue, simply tap on the “set” button, or the “in” buttons in the multi cue panel to set your markers. Each marker is color coded to help differentiate the multi cues.
You can set up to 3 manual loops by setting “out” points and enabling the “loop” function. You can clear out the in and out points by tapping on the “in” and “out” buttons. Each multi cue is saved and can be used when you reload your tracks. Each deck can save a different set of multi cues per song allowing you to customize your cue sets. Alright, and thats how to use multi cues and loops. Remember, each deck can save a new set of multi cues per song. Don’t forget to follow us on twitter, Facebook and subscribe on youtube, we’ll see you guys in the next video.

Donut the 2D looper – Loading Files demo
New version of Donut the two-dimensional looper for iPad featuring file loading.
Inspired by the IBM tape loop machine, Donut is the latest release from The Strange Agency. This sound sequencer is a strange one, like the old IBM machine, it makes time two-dimensional by first creating a three dimensional loop and two dimensional sound. It does this by first looping a linear track, then multiplying it into stacks and finally taking the loop stack, and wrapping it itself into a loop, just as the original linear recording is looped.
You use Donut by recording sound into (or through) it, and playing the recorded sound back. You control the playback and recording heads with a 2d vector for each, determining the rate at which the head steps through the loop and loop of loops.
There are still quite a lot of sample points in there and therefore the 2d surface can be very sparse. Imagine if we recorded on the Donut in one direction, but played back in a perpendicular direction. We would only hit one sample of the recording amidst a loop of silence. Thus, Donut can create extremely sparse soundscapes.To make the soundscapes denser, Donut lets your record and play sound with multiple heads (or, using a synthesizer term, voices). These heads can be spread out across the loop surface in both dimensions, creating some awesome temporal effects.
Stylophone Effects
Here is a demonstration of how you can use the Looper in the Eventide TimeFactor, along with the Octaver, Crystals, Harpeggiator, and H910 H949 effects in the Eventide PitchFactor, to create lots of unique sounds from only a few notes. For more info visit

Kill Everybody Drum Loop featuring the OP-1
Always nice to here the OP-1 in action:
Decided to try and add 12 seconds from “Scrillex – Kill Everybody” to an drum in the OP-1. Looped one of the sounds in the drum pattern section and that is basically what is playing through the whole beat. Using Spring as effect. I wanted to do some more creative stuff here but … this is just a test.

Experimental looping: Donut™ has an appointment with Thich Nhat Hanh
We reported about the Donut looper a couple of days ago and now the Strange Agency has released a new inspiring video using the Donut:
Donut™ lets you record loops in two dimensions.
You can use it like a phrase looper, by recording horizontally while using the step controls to step through vertical recording position. You can use it as a realtime processor by using ThruRecord mode. You can record and playback at completely differently speeds. You can even record backwards! You can record and playback diagonally across the Donut™ surface, creating glitchy staccato sounds. You can record and playback with multiple heads, recording or playing multiple positions at once. You can spread the heads vertically to access different portions of the Donut™, or you can spread them horizontally to create an echo effect.
Imagine two dimensional time! Now on the App Store.
