MIDI chords by themselves are taken care of, more or less.
For audio, I don’t see a requirement for a “basic and neutral style” … however, this is one subset of possible loops that it would great to have covered. It’s fine to have both “basic rock shuffle” and “highly idiosyncratic sort of reggae but also cumbia backbeat”.
I have reached out to a number of creators on looperman, but I suspect that many/most of them will not respond.
I’ve been experimenting a bit with MIDI and would like to submit my self-made MIDI files. There are not many. These are unique, unmistakable and guaranteed not to exist twice. To which email address may I send the packed MIDI files in ZIP format?
I was watching a YT presentation of Sonic Pi delivered by its author who noted all the samples used in the program are CC-0 licensed. Here is the git page where they are located if you are interested in checking them out:
That’s great! I do 1000+ loops in 120 audio tracks and my computer is hitting the wall. So I’m working on a way around it. Hopefully, I will be finished before 7.0 and hopefully, they will be good enough for use with Ardour.
Is there a cut off time for this? I would like to contribute some live drum loops (to a click of course) but will not have time until the end of the month to record them.
There’s no cut-off. We’ve decided to not include any of the content in the ardour download package due to size. Instead, there’s a new download manager built into the program. We hope to get 7.0 out by the end of this month (September), but will be updating the index of libraries on an ad-hoc basic going forwards.
I’ve hit the wall after a heavy post covid, but I will continue the work as soon as I’m able to concentrate again. I have recorded around 350 of more than 1000 audio files for looping so far and I’m a little worried that I just recreate the wheel.
I will have a look at what is already delivered or available for Ardour and eventually start all over if needed as soon as possible.
