Hi people, This is a tip i got from Ableton forums. Enjoy:)
Okay, this is a dirty, lofi version of a temposynced simpler instrument.
Load up something with a lot of rhythmic content as well as tonal.
Turn loop on.
Set start to 50%, which will allow you to modulate it fully.
The loop parameter should be set to around 50-60% for the smoothest results.
Length should be somewhere between 1-5%, and fade to 100%.
If you press a key and listen now, it should sound like a soft buzz. But try turning the start knob. This is your basic granular timestretch. And the trick is that this can easily be synced to your project tempo:
Reset the start knob to 50%. Now, make a new midi clip for the simpler instrument. Draw an envelope for the start parameter the same length as you want your loop to be, ie 1 or two bars or whatever. Simply draw the envelope from -50% to +50% in a simple ramp.
Press play.
Every sound you play should now be in sync with the project. It can do amazing things to a drumbeat as well.
