well on a previous topic (lets bring life back to these forums) someone brought on an idea about making a looper.yesterday i was jamming with a friend who's scratching and the idea came back!

we just need some beatmakers and a tech guy (computah freaks come on out don't be shy :twisted:

) to make the flash shit!

well..who's down with me?!?

like a DAW looper or hardware looper or a looper within the 404?

Take a tape and loop it, get a recorder and put electrical tape over the erase head. Hit REC+PLAY and loop all day and night.

Boss Rc-505. Never got much attention but it's killer

I made a looper about 6 years ago in ableton and an old USB computer typing keyboard.

I removed all but like 10 of the keys. Then I cut out some 2"x2" plastic squares and hot glued them to the remaining keys so I would have something bigger to trigger loops with my feet. I mapped the keys to appropriate parts in ableton. Worked like a charm.

Yo it was me, and I´d be down too.
I have done stuff in flash in the distant past, but not recently.. I know I have seen a specific tutorial for this somewhere though.. but if there´s someone who´s up-to-date already that would be even better.
I would like to propose a design/designs though... if somebody wants to do that also we can vote or smth

The graphics also depend on the number of beats though (= number of buttons).. so we should have a rough estimate to begin with.

Also, it´s nice if a looper has all kinds of tempos.. for example from 70 BPM to 140 BPM, and everywhere between.. it´s annoying when there are large caps IMO.. many loopers are lacking in the ~90...100 BPM temporange

For those out of the loop: we are not talking about hardware loopers or smth, we are talking about little "programs" (or "apps" in modern speak lol) which contain a number of beats that loop infinitely so you can practice skratching (or why not rapping or anything else) over them.

Eksotik well said

so how could that be done?maybe put a rough deadline?

as already said on the previous thread,beats have to be simple somehow,in order for scratches to easily get sounded over them.i mean something like drums,probably bassline and a main sample.

lets see if we can make it!
how many people are really interested?
