Hey Philippe
Sorry been away from my Logelloop rehearsals for a few weeks..
Wow this is a very helpful response with so much to absorb and experiment with.
“The question is : is a timeline useful during a looping session and/or an improvised session?”
I think the answer is sometimes. It digs deep into the heart of what improvisation is (at what point does improvisation become composition?) and I suppose for me there is an element of wanting to create ‘repeatable structure’ and that is where a timeline may be useful.
But then everything you then say is very interesting in this regard: a plugin that drives volume and pan would indeed be useful…if I could tell it to do “this” over x amount of time in the way that automation curves in a DAW do.
“Of course, you can connect the volume of the first track to a MIDI pedal and move it manually” I have a Lemur and your template (greatly expanded now) to achieve something similar. Live control of Logelloop is very wonderful in general.
The slicer I do not yet know so I will look at it.
Macros- thanks for those..I will look at them closely.
Actually I have started to use A,B and C.. and there are many exciting possibilities here to make bigger structure.
Thanks Philippe
