Our friends from Liege (Belgium) just sent in this interesting tutorial on using LoopShaper, the free sound design application for AudioCubes we released a while ago at NAMM 2009.
LoopShaper is a standalone VST host application, in which you can load a VST instrument, and control it using 2 AudioCubes. One cube controls notes and the other cube controls parameters of the instrument. The software loops and records your interactions with the cubes, with the possibility of letting the memory “fade”, such that you can record on top of what you already recorded. The end result can be recorded to disk as WAV of course, so you can load the loops into your favourite DAW and build a song or composition from there.
What is interesting about loopshaper is that it lets you listen and interact with real physical objects without dealing with the complexity of a full DAW in the idea-gathering phase of your work. The software is fairly minimal yet powerful.
If you want to learn more about LoopShaper you can check out its application software page here.
