Scratching in Ableton Live: ammobox



Uploaded by: halcyondayssc
Video Description:
A demonstration of my new instrument ammobox. ammobox allows you to scratch audio by triggering samples asyncronously with MIDI, the turntable provides velocity and rotation control.
What you see on the screen is me dropping MIDI notes into an Ableton Live MIDI loop, as each note is hit, it injects the sample into the stream allowing me to scratch it.
It should be noted that this is a pretty unique method in that it allows you to 'latch' sounds and hold on to them after they would have terminated due to the note-off event or the sample being over, you can then overlay samples and build up layers of them while scratching.

I think a lot of people who want to learn the art of turntablism get discouraged because you need to learn so many skills for both hands at once. This appears to take the "awareness of timing" aspects out so you can focus on working on your cross fader skills and more artistic improvisation skills without needing the precision platter control you would otherwise if using actual sample records, yeah? Way cool. Anything that lets people get more enjoyment out of their music is awesome. :)

This is sick!! Is this something that works on the Mac or Win? What record are you using to control it? ... or does it work w/ any record?
The software shown ... ( 7 months ago by synerjee)
The software shown on screen is Ableton Live which works on both Mac and PC - the only question that's left is if the plugin runs on Windows or Mac ;).
The record is so-called "timecode vinyl"; it contains a signal that the computer can synchronize to.

hi steve, if i understand the vid correctly, you'll still need all the traditional scratching skills. What this plug brings is the ability to dynamically alter the material you're scratching with without having to cut your own dubplates, which isn't practical in front of an audience ;)
It should be noted ... ( 7 months ago by halcyondayssc)
It should be noted that while you could cut and paste all your samples into an wav as with traditional vinyl DJ solutions, ammobox allows layering and time staggering as well as triggering quantized to beat, this results in many effects that would be impossible without multiple people scratching pre-made wav files simultaneously.
But I agree with steve's assessment as well, a useful side effect of ammobox is that it is quite easy to use. Technology should be transparent.
