Roll back the tape!

[MGD] Tape Head allows you to "scrub" through Ableton Live clips. It works for both audio and MIDI, so you can get some pretty crazy rhythms going on. Or maybe you'd rather pull some new sound design out of existing tracks or loops.

What's it for?
- IDM rhythms from MIDI clips
- Beat freezing
- Beat-repeat rhythm effects
- Real-time reverse
- Real-time time stretching

can it be automated?
Posted on August 28 2022 by Trevbo | Report Issue
Hello @Trevbo! Yes, you can record automation. However, since automation relies on the playhead position in the clip, the playback will be fighting with itself on playback, but this can also produce interesting results.

If you want to create repeatable loops and effects, you should record your results to a new clip.

Hope it helps!

any reason why this wouldn't be working on Ableton 11.2?
Posted on October 24 2022 by tbf | Report Issue
Hi @tbf, there should be no issues and it's been tested on 11.2.

Feel free to send me an email with a screen recording and I'll help you sort it out :)
