LiveSlice 1.3 Released - 12/16/2005

LiveLab has released version 1.3 of its beat slicer, LiveSlice.

LiveSlice is a beat slicer that can load up to 64 wave files at a time, slice them up and combine the slices in the multitrack arranger.

New Features or changes in version 1.3 include:

  • Live input recording - record loops from your tracks for instant liveslicing of any sequenced materia, or use LiveSlice as an effect
  • Drag'n'Drop slices to tracks
  • Preview slices in the arranger
  • Midi through
  • Loops can now be renamed and saved with a different filename
  • When a loop is not found on disk (ie a new recording) it is automatically saved with the song
  • New feature: stretch – automatically pitches all events to make the duration match the project tempo
  • Manual sync will now override host sync information (workaround for hosts that provide incorrect sync info)
  • Zoom / Pan is now activated on double click
  • Clicking middle mouse button on a parameter will reset (before it would clear the event underneath)
  • Manual updated

bugfixes:

  • fixed a bug in the file browser that could lead to crashes
  • fixed problem with some controls not responding when running multiple instances of LiveSlice

The release follows closely upon the release of version 1.25. New features in 1.25 included:

  • Manual sync will now override host sync information (workaround for hosts that provide incorrect sync info)
  • Zoom in slicer improved. Reduced the general wobblyness, and eliminated the need to hold down right mouse button to zoom

bugfixes:

  • Quantize would allow overlapping events
  • Fixed tempo problem in Sonar using DirectiXer
  • Slices were not reversed in the gui
  • Loop output settings are now cleared on "clear all"
  • First event in a track would have too high attack and release
  • Snap no longer affects "lock to loop"
  • Error checking when importing cue-points as slices (fixes "silent slices" and "wrong slice num. reported" bugs)
  • Setting a midi controller to event and then to track mode caused the parameter to stop responding
  • Manual sync would sometimes cause double triggering of the first event
  • Gridlines going solid bug fixed

LiveSlice is a VSTi program for Windows.
