Description
Quant the Ripper: A Max For Live device to quantize and warp audio with varying drift (e.g. a vinyl rip).
The device analyzes warp marker drift relative to a fixed beat grid and:
- selects warp markers within tolerance closest to the target beat
- removes unneeded markers
- detects drift outliers
- snaps accepted markers to the grid in a second pass
The workflow is designed for techno / 4x4 material where timing consistency matters but full-track warping is too destructive or inconsistent.
Requires to manually add all or most transients as warp markers beforehand (can't do that with LOM unfortunately).
Developed/tested on Live 12.
