More Exciting Indecipherable Ableton Bullshit

I'm now one step closer to getting this to happen in my bedroom. This being the ability to create any number of looping music samples in real time with my voice in order to create a song. The main thing that was stopping me was a lack of understanding how an incoming MIDI signal (say, hitting the middle-C on my piano keyboard) could be converted not into one, but several keystrokes in a row. I've now figured out how to do that with MIDIStroke, a free software program expressly for that purpose. Now that I know how it's done, I just need to get the template all set up to record and control the loops in real time using the right combination of keystrokes.

I translate this as "something wasn't working, and now it is"

So, congratulations. :)

I look forward to listening to the fruits of all this labor :)

I also wanted to mention that my friend [livejournal.com profile] trippedbreaker has made something with soy milk in the ice cream maker that he said was pretty good. You might want to hit him up and find out what he did.
