For anyone who has a midi controller available, it's a bit well hidden under 'Info'->'Tip: Got A Launchpad?' but apparently it supports the experimental Web MIDI API.
So, basically, Novation's Launchpad app in the browser, only with a far better presets.
(Launchpad is originally Novation's controller for Ableton Live, and Maden (artist) got famous after a couple of youtube videos of him performing mashups with Launchpad got viral).
Is there any intention of building this out into a broader music-making tool? I can think of a lot of ways this could be a great way for introducing people to music production in a simple, intuitive manner. It also helps that Madeon is behind this and his music is arguably some of the most creative and well thought out since the likes of Daft Punk
It's called Ableton Live... they didn't invent the idea, but they're easily the most popular software for building and playing layered loops.
Lots of artistry goes into authoring the loops themselves before you ever get to the point of sequencing them into a song. The Adventure Machine lets you enjoy the fruits of Madeon's work in building some loops that work together well.
Ableton Live is not intuitive (personal experience), nor is it freely available on the web like this is, which is what I was trying to get at (but missed mentioning).
what jweather says. we've not made the first looper... however, have considered launching it as a tool for people to add their own audio loops to... maybe one day...
As someone with little music production interest, from first seeing the novation launchpad in Madeon's Pop Culture youtube video, I always thought there must be some unrelated uses. The art installation your team did looks great, the first application shows how they could be useful for demonstrating cellular automata.
Yup. They're the guys responsible for Madeon's photography + video content. Their work is phenom! They do work for DJ Snake, Tchami and Mercer as well.
