Whats better than 1 Beatcutter - 2 Beatcutters?
Did a live show on Sunday in Manchester at Lock 91. What a great night. I played by the seat of my pants using and sampling Beatcutter live. Live performance is such a blast and if you have not prerecorded anything its a tad risky but what a rush. Since it worked out well I was inspired to experiment more. In a previous thread I mistakely thought someone was using 2 Beatcutters in AUM. And I thought crazy why would they but after last week I thought why not. Below is a brief experiment not intended in any form as a finished article just to give you an idea of my latest musing and workflow.

Cool! This piece reminds me that we also have a very capable audio looper; Enso!
Thanks for sharing!
I need mad beat cutter help, Im SO lost! I feel silly, and will look for a thread. All I know is I need long samples and one with bpm if desired... Nice sounding, COOL>
Nice stuff, and looks like a nice place, I’ll have to look in next time I’m in Manc...
Follow the threads. If you need help just ask. Soundformore are probably the easy tutorials to follow, Leon explains everythings slowly. I personal recommend puting an echo like blackhole or Eso behind beatcutter, it help smooth out some of the hardder glitches.
Thanks yawl, I got it to sorta make sounds today haha. I shall watch the tutorials I just have that itch to mangle and what ive heard makes me WANT to learn it. Cheers!
Good man stick with!
Just managed to get 2 Beatcutters rigged in midi with my midi controler so they can switch backwards and forwards, effectively bypassing each other to be sampled by 3 collums with 2 swtichable Ensos in each one. Then add Drum Computer to the mix and I have a DJ Workhorse. Though to be honest midi programming it near fried my Dyslexic Head! lol
Great!
I know this sounds a little weak, but I hope we can patchstorage some beat cutter templates or sets for some basic audio app usage.It may be sets, templates, or patches I am unsure. It seemed to like being in aum and thats where I would have most luck just getting sounds. I still try and won't give up because I was just running ID700 through that alone and was getting idm beats and insane type things id never heard in the glitch realm. Cheers, and I think this will be worth the effort. Tips and shares are still lovely too!
This is brutal, one of the most fascinating AUM sessions that I have heard. Congratulations, @Toastedghost ! You have dominated the beast in whimsical and musical ways.
Igor Vasiliev is my favorite iOS developer, picking casually Fieldscaper after looking at a video in Youtube is the main reason because now I’m creating music, his work is incredibly inspiring.
There is a lot of talk about all the tools, plugins, DAWs and whatnot that are available on desktop and not in iOS. But I still need to find in desktop something as good for experimental music as FieldScaper or BeatCutter.
Unfortunately my Mac lies dormant since it gave up the ghost and nothing seems to revieve it. When it was working I did possess a VST which worked in Ableton Live, it worked on a grid with a ball following a path. Sometimes a wall would cause the the ball to change paths. Each time it hit a wall it create a new note. Introduce several balls and heypresto! Problem is for the life in me I cannot remeber the name of the VST, though for me it was the best experimental VST for Live.
Glad you like my experiments.
Here I play live at Lock 91 in Manchester.
My latest setup, not yet used live, I have mapped 2 Beatcutters being switched by LFOs, 6 Ensos recording, a perforator, Turnado and Hammerhead. All playing together. Total madness.
That’s pretty cool there @Toastedghost, I kept watching, expecting to see those feet start moving!
Oh, hey, I used to have a sequencer app just like the one you’ve described, it had little balls that would fall, and you could place little walls for them to bounce off of to make different notes. I think it was called “Gravity” something. I just looked through my entire “purchased” list on the App Store and looks like it’s gone gone…
Gravity on IOS, but the one I am thinking off the balls were not driven by gravity and had their own velocity.
The next live set should sound better everything pretty much mapped to my Mixface, only prob is I sometimes pish the ipad beyond its limits. As for my dancing feet at 40 I was invied to be a dancer on a podieum for a night club but now at 62 I have athritus in my feet, knees, hip and hands, so its more shake, creak and roll.
To be fair, @Toastedghost , Giorgio Sancristoforo’s Mac apps also looks bananas for experimental music.

Gleetchlab seems on par with Igor Vasiliev‘s madness.
Here's an app called ,'Physicles', it's midi only.
I think you may find it fun.

Yes! That’s the one! Physicles Gravity and Bouncy
It’s been right here on my iPad all along lol.. I was searching for the word “particles” for some reason. Must be getting old.
Glad that's the one you were thinking of.
Nah, you're not getting old.
There are hundreds of apps.
Remembering all of them is a feat in itself
let alone knowing what each one does.
It’s crazy right, all these apps. I am getting old. I mean, not @Toastedghost old, but right behind him lol (52!)
Lolololol...
I'm in my last year of my forties so, you know, heading there.
Nice textures.
I'm also really liking the venue.
Manchester did you say?
Btw @Toastedghost, this thread inspired me to fire BeatCutter up again last night!
I think I’m getting closer to figuring out how to get it to make some sounds. “Good sounds” is a stretch just yet, but it is making sounds!
When I was watching your video, I thought “ok, if this guy can use BeatCutter all casually like this, then I must be missing something” as up until last night, I’ve never really been able to get sound out of it.
I’ve watched all the tutorials on YT and been through the whole app (so I thought), trying/moving every slider on the various pages; Input, triggers, CTRL, etc, still.. nothing.
Then I was on the MAIN screen last night moving the “Rings” around when I realized I hadn’t yet moved that sneaky “Change” slider right there on the right hand side of the Main screen…. BOOM (We have contact Bravo One!!!)’😂🤣
Ah, so you have the big Five Oh right around the corner eh?
I think the defining moment is when you get that AARP card in your mailbox. It should say “it’s official, you’re really old now!” on the front of it in big red lettering. lol
I don't know what an ,'AARP', card is?
The only things we receive here is our National Insurance Number
when we turn 16yrs old to make sure we start paying taxes
and a card from the Queen when we reach 100 years old.
