Hindsight - a looping/stutter engine for Live built with gen~

Hindsight is a looping engine built in Max 7 for Ableton Live. It has a wealth of features fore realtime performance, and improvisation, but is just as comfortable in a studio setting rearranging incoming audio, and allowing you to sequence, chop, record, and mangle in real time from Push 1 and Push 2.

The device's audio process is coded entirely in gen~ using one giant codebox and the genexpr language, and was a huge learning experience for me. Most of the control surface handling and LED stuff is done in one giant javascript file. Without these text based approaches the patch would've certainly become a nightmare.

I'd like to thank everyone on the cycling 74 forums for always being helpful, and posting clever solutions on a daily basis.

Thanks Raja! The new stuff is really fun to mess with. Grains + Verb + Delay = goodness.
