Samthree Audio Looper

Video here: https://youtu.be/c6nqTYF_J-k

Note: original code forked from https://github.com/21echoes/samsara - I have retained the bits of doc that are still relevant.

The original samsara code is a clock synced looper for Norns. I have heavily adapted it to use three voices that playback the original recorded and sync’ed loop. The result lets you make some complex sounds with very simple loops.

• Voice 1+2: Original 1x (stereo) loop
• Voice 3: 1/2 speed reversed (mono) loop
• Voice 4: 2x speed shuffled (mono) loop

I have added a new UI and controls for these three voices. These use Encoder 1 to switch between parameters

• E1: Move tab in menu
• play tab:
  • E2: Number of Beats (identical to Samsara)
  • E3: Pre Level (identical to Samsara)
• vol tab:
  • E2: Low loop volume (0-1.0)
  • E3: High loop volume (0-1.0)
• div tab:
  • E2: 1x loop clock divisor (1-8)
  • E3: 2x loop clock divisor (1-8)
• shuf tab:
  • E2: Shuffle 1x loop (1 normal, 2 = play slices in random order)
  • E3: Shuffle 2x loop (1 normal, 2 = play slices in random order)

Note: I have retained all of the key combos from Samasara. I only changed the encoder settings (see above)

• K2: Start/pause playback
• K3: Arm/disarm recording
• Hold K2+tap K3: Tap tempo
• Hold K1+tap K2: Double buffer
• Hold K1+tap K3: Clear buffer

Thank you very much to 21echoes for their Samsara code. This was an excellent base to learn softcut and to learn the ui and params modules.
