SuperCutSequencer
Cut "On/Off" Sequencer (8 steps with smooth) synced to Midi-Clock Beats and Midi-Clock Start/Stop.
Very useful i.e to add musical diversity in looped tracks (very nice with i.e bass lines).

Build/Install:
- Use the Faust Online Compiler to compile it as Standalone Jack Application or Audio Plugin (LV2, VST, etc): http://faust.grame.fr/compiler
- This software was tested only with Linux JackQT Faust Compiler.
- Or compile them simply with (you'll need to install the Faust Compiler):
- $ faust2jaqt -midi SuperCutSequencer.dsp
- To Start:
- $ ./SuperCutSequencer

Get Started with SuperBeatRepeater and SuperCutSequencer:
You will need to send Midi-Clock to SuperBeatRepeater & SuperCutSequencer. Use a Midi-Clock generator like jack_midi_clock (on GNU/Linux). You also need to set the tempo (bpm) to Jack Transport (which will be used by the Midi-Clock). Use any Jack-able Sequencer for that (Hydrogen, Ardour,...). If you want to use them with an Hardware Midi Controller you'll need to use the a2jmidid -e Bridge.
-
$ qjackctl &
-
(Start the Jack Server)
-
$ jack_midi_clock &
-
$ a2jmidid -e &
-
Start SuperBeatRepeater & SuperCutSequencer from the build folder :
- $ ./SuperBeatRepeater
- $ ./SuperCutSequencer
-
Launch the Sequencer (i.e Hydrogen) in Jack Transport Master mode.
-
Connect jack_midi_clock to SuperBeatRepeater & SuperCutSequencer (via Jack Midi). The song tempo (bpm) of the Sequencer musst be displayed in QjackCtl.
-
Connect the Audio outputs of the Sequencer (or whatever sound source) to SuperBeatRepeater and/or SuperCutSequencer. (For instance, The drums to SuperBeatRepeater and the bass to SuperCutSequencer.)
-
Start Jack Transport (Play Button)
-
If the "Midi-Clock" checkboxes in SuperBeatRepeater & SuperCutSequencer are blinking (recieving Midi-Clock signal) and the "Start/Stop" checkboxes are checkt automatically (by Midi-Clock Start/Stop messages), then everything should work fine.
-
If you have a Midi Controller with LEDs (i.e LaunchControl XL, NanoKontrol,...), connect the Midi Inputs and Outputs to SuperBeatRepeater & SuperCutSequencer (via Jack Midi / a2jmidid)
