Using Drum Loops Live with MIDI Foot Controller

[snewq78]

I want to use drum loops & sequencing in a live setting and be able to trigger the different parts of the song (i.e. Intro, Verse, Chorus, Bridge, Ending) with a MIDI Foot Controller. I currently use SONAR 4 Home Studio XL to setup and record the songs, but it doesn't allow me to split the songs out into different parts. Is there another program that will allow me to do this (hopefully not expensive)? Is there a better way to go about doing this?

I would set the midi controller for a markers shortcut and set your markers as needed.



Another option,if you've got the Cyclone synth you could probably use that.
It'll load 16 different loops/samples per preset and can be set to loop,play once or release individually per loop.

You would probably have to mix down your song to a stereo file and slice it up accordingly.
