Description

Timing Sensitive Midi Looper is a lightweight zero latency midi looper, made for live midi looping with adjustable quantisation on the fly.

Looping Section:

- Playback: Plays the recorded sequence.

- Recording: Records incoming notes.

- Overdub: Preserves previously recorded notes when active.

- Clear: Deletes everything.

- Undo: Removes the last recorded layer.

Loop Length and Position:

The device syncs with Ableton Live's transport, following its time signature and song position.

Quantisation:

- Grid: Choose from 8th, 12th (16th triplets), and 16th notes.

- Amount: Set quantisation from 0% to 100%, preserving the original sequence at 0%.

- Swing: Add swing feeling (-100% to 100%) relative to the chosen grid.

- Delay: Move notes in time (-100% to 100%) relative to the grid size.

- Note End and Length: Quantise note ends and lengths (gate time 0% to 200%).

Note: Swing and delay settings depend on the quantisation amount.

More Features:

- CC Support: Record and play Pitchbend, Modwheel, Aftertouch, Polypressure, and CC messages.

- Through Button: Choose to let through or block incoming midi notes.

- Automation and Mapping: All parameters can be automated and mapped to MIDI remote control.

- Stable Midi Output: Ensures no hanging or overlapping notes.

- Non-Destructive Quantisation: Original notes remain unchanged.

- Realtime Quantisation: Adjust settings on the fly during playback.

- Performance: Minimal impact on CPU usage; no latency introduced.

Known Bugs and Limitations:

- Extreme swing settings may affect the order of pitchbend, modwheel, or cc messages.

- Swing parameter in the 12th grid may not transform it into a 16th grid.

- MPE not supported

Future Features:

- Replace Mode: Deletes underlying notes when a new one is played.
