Description

amBe is a multi-looper for textures/tones/ambient music production or performance. It is a m4l patch controlled by a lemur layout, connected via OSC, so no setup beyond making an OSC target.

Watch this (2 min) video to see what amBe is and does:

You can really do a lot with it. Watch the video to really get a feel, but here are some key points to it:

--Record or drag in a sample or a folder of samples to select from

--Has 3 loopers that you can proccess and affect individually (envelopes, FX, etc)

--Waveform displays on the lemur itself, and you can touch the loop points and crossfades

--playback as a loop/one shot/sequence with crossfades

--Has sequencer/lfo/double tap recording of movements to automate parameters, looping position, size and more

--control FX positioning and a 16 bank presets which you can store and load interchageable with each looper.

--more stuff

here are setup tips:

--make an OSC target on lemur

--follow instructions on m4l patch

--after setting up load in empty presets and then a full one so the m4l patch and lemur are in sync

--check out the 'help' tab in the top right corner of the lemur layout

--enjoy

if you still have trouble, check out one of my layout's tutorial on setting up (should be similar)
