I would like to learn to amplitude modulate clips, reverse clips, and speed up/slow down during performance, with sound that's recorded live, without the performer touching anything. Obstacles to this: Ableton won't MIDI/keyboard map these things because they take time to process. The lag time isn't so much a problem for me, because I wouldn't necessarily want them playing back as soon as they're recorded, but sometime later. It could be I can record the clips directly into tracks that already have the speed and reverse set already, but there's not an obvious way to pre-set those things, since the sample box only appears after something's been recorded into the clip.
Possibilities include: 1) writing Max patchers that reverse, change speed automatically, and force samples to amplitude modulate, 2) figuring out how to control automation live for the envelope part, although this sounds just about as complicated as the previous option, maybe more.
To write these Max patchers: record clip in Live, transfer audio into buffer in Max, play audio back out in processed form to a NEW clip or track in Ableton to create a new audio file--this must be a pretty common thing to do, right?
As for amplitude modulation, I really need to explore exactly what that means, sounds like, go back to Chris' Max examples and see how he does it.
