Livecut/Fire preset bug fixed

I think I've found one reason that could explain why presets are not recalled correctly in the current version of Fire and Livecut.

There's a very silly bug in program export but not in bank export.

It produces something like that:

[preset]name="your preset name here"

instead of:
[preset]
name="your preset name here"

you can download the new version from theirs respective page, I've kept the same download name.

AudioUnit users, If you have some aupresets made with the previous Livecut 0.9 version, the better is to delete them from your preset folder.

From the tests I've made so far, preset/banks load/save correctly on PC and Mac, VST and AU. And saving/restoring with the host song too.

Have fun!

LiveCut and Fire now works as AU on MacIntel

LiveCut

Livecut is based on BBCut the BreakBeat Cutting library written by Nick Collins for SuperCollider

The BBCut Library began out of work on an algorithm to simulate the automatic cutting of breakbeats in the style of early jungle or drum and bass Nick Collins.

Livecut is only a small subset of what is possible with BBCut, but as it is available as a VST plugin, it is much easier to start experimenting with it.

It is a live beat-slicer but instead of manipulating equal chunks of audio like most beatslicer do, it works on the notion of audio cuts whose length and number of repetition depends on the context and the cutting procedure. cuts are organized in blocks which then form a phrase. see Image below. And each phrase can be ended by a roll or fill.

It seems that LiveCut isn't a very unique name so if you were after live concerts or video editing, maybe you'll find what you were looking for on one of those 2 sites:

LiveCut 0.8 summer beta preview

win32 LiveCut-0.8-beta-preview.dll.zip
macosx LiveCut-0.8-beta-preview.dmg.zip

due to high user demand I've decided to release a beta preview of Livecut for this summer so that you can glitch when I'll be in vacations :D

There are some change I'd like to make like adding factory presets and working on the GUI, but that will be after the summer.

check this out: Glitch

check this link http://dblue.illformed.org/?dir=code/glitch.

This is a command line tool called glitch (I didn't knew about until now) doing all kinds of nasty cuts and effects to your loops. A must-have

added WarpCutProc to LiveCut

I've added a bunch of new parameters and playing mode to BBCut and LiveCut.
and here is another example

BBCut and LiveCut

I've started making 2 VST plugins dedicated to breakbeat Cutting inspired by Nick Collins library for SuperCollider called BBCut.
thus the name BBCut for the instrument and LiveCut for the effect.
I have finally something roughly working and here is a demo.
