Day 156 / Double Bliptronome (All The Way)

Finally finished the last Bliptronome last night.  I closed up the case around 11pm.  I really wanted to demo these guys in some kind of video showing off the ability to use the knobs for something, but realized after a bit of research that there is a real dearth of monome apps that utilize this function.  I decided to go with a monome application called 7up Live.
 
7up Live is an amazingly deep program designed by Monome users Making The Noise and Bar|none.  They have done an amazing job developing this app.  I had to go through the installation procedure because they have recently upgraded it.  Going through their step by step installation is a pleasure because everything works beautifully and they provide a template project complete with its own loops and drum samples.  The integration with Ableton is even more sweet now with the onset of Max For Live.
 
The only trouble with 7up live is that it offers so much control that it’s tough to decide how to use it.  I ended up just zoning into it for hours and then 2am rolled around and I realized that I hadn’t recorded anything yet.  I personalized the set a little by dragging in some samples of my own from my song “The Whisky Twist” from MCRP V3.  Then I added a Lowpass filter to the drums and mapped it to one of the knobs on the Bliptronome.  I recorded for about 10 minutes and then cut it down to a hopefully pleasurable 2 minutes.  The video is really nothing special I just wanted to show off that it actually works.
 
7up is such a well developed software that introducing the second Bliptronome was a breeze.  They are both running the same instance of 7up but are running independently so on one I could be triggering clips while on the other modulating effects.  Pretty Rad.
