Assignments

Repetition.
-4 channels (repetition)
Programming exercises, to be solved at the lesson.

Last weeks programing solution TapeDec Play.

Programing.

1. Use three TapeDec (modules that play back a sound file) modules. With the press of one button/MIDI key, transpose to a mayor cord.

2. Make the transposition slow (a couple of seconds ore more).
3. Use three, grain delay modules. Make a feedback line with a feedback level that makes a very long “ekko”/many repetitions.

With the press of one button/MIDI key, transpose to a mayor cord.

4. Make the transposition slow (a couple of seconds ore more).

5. Is it possible to do exercise one and two in Ableton Live ? How?
