LoopMash

198

The selected track holds the master loop. The rhythmic pattern of the LoopMash

output is governed by the master loop – that is, what you hear is the rhythmic

pattern of this loop.

On the left of each track, you find the similarity gain sliders. The further to the right

you move the similarity gain slider of a track, the more slices are played back from

this track.

Getting Started

To give you a first impression of what you can do with LoopMash, open the tutorial

preset.

PROCEDURE

1. In your host application, create an instrument track with LoopMash as the

associated VST instrument.

2. In the Inspector for the new track, click the Edit Instrument button to open

the LoopMash panel.

3. At the top of the plug-in panel, click on the icon to the right of the preset field

and select Load Preset from the pop-up menu.

4. The Presets browser opens, showing presets found in the VST 3 Presets

folder for LoopMash.

5. Select the preset called A Good Start…(Tutorial) 88.

The preset is loaded into LoopMash.

6. At the bottom of the panel, make sure that the sync button in the transport

controls is off, and start playback by clicking the play button.

7. Look at the 24 pads below the track section: the pad labeled Original is

selected. Select the pad named Clap.

A new loop is displayed on the second track in the track display, and you hear that

the snare drum sound of the first loop has been replaced with a handclap sound.

8. Select the pad labeled Trio, and then the pad labeled Section. Each time you

click, a new loop is added to the mash.

Note how the rhythmic pattern of the music stays the same, although an increasing

number of sounds is taken from the other loops.

9. Select other pads to find out how different parameter settings influence the

LoopMash output.

Some of the pads have the same label, for example, Original and Replaced. The

scenes that are associated with these pads form the basis for variations of that scene.

The variations of a scene are associated with the scene pads to the right of the

original scene, that is, the scene labeled SliceFX is a variation of the scene labeled

Original and shows an example for the usage of slice effects.
