LOOP BLENDER
=====================
Version 1.0

An Ableton Live Audio Effect Rack that captures loops and mangles them with reverb, beat repeats, and LFO modulation for textured, glitchy soundscapes.


REQUIREMENTS
------------
Ableton Live 12 Suite (uses Hybrid Reverb)


INSTALLATION
------------
Drag "Loop Blender.adg" onto any audio track in Ableton Live.

Or copy the file to your User Library:
~/Music/Ableton/User Library/Presets/Audio Effects/Audio Effect Rack/


HOW IT WORKS
------------
The device chains a Looper, Hybrid Reverb (with backwards impulse responses), and Beat Repeat together. An LFO modulates parameters to create evolving textures. Audio is captured by the Looper, processed through atmospheric reverb, and rhythmically stuttered by Beat Repeat based on probability.


CONTROLS
--------

Loop Feedback
  - Controls how much of the loop feeds back into itself
  - Higher values create longer, evolving loops

Reverb Mix
  - Blends the Hybrid Reverb wet/dry mix
  - Uses backwards impulse responses for dreamy textures

Repeat Chance
  - Sets the probability of Beat Repeat triggering
  - Higher values = more frequent stutter effects

Repeat Volume
  - Controls the volume of the repeated segments

LFO Rate
  - Sets the speed of the LFO modulation
  - Synced to tempo


TIPS
----
- Start with low Repeat Chance and gradually increase for subtle glitches
- High Loop Feedback + Reverb Mix creates ambient drones
- Automate Repeat Chance for build-ups and transitions
- Works well on vocals, synths, and percussion
- Try feeding it rhythmic material for complex polyrhythms
