I want to use DJay and my Numark controller in a live setting for a noise project.
The plan is to use the two turntables to play ambient-esque backing tracks, then use my own samples / beats over the top. I’m also using other instruments, effects, synths and loop pedals. I want to use the Numark controller to trigger everything live using my phone as the source.
Unfortunately DJay doesn’t allow user loops to be uploaded, but samples can be. What I want to know is there a way I can trigger a sample for it to play continually by hitting the pad once, then stop it by tapping the same pad? I know the record function in samples allow you to record in real time triggering samples, but I’d like to be able to drop samples in and out.
At the moment the only way I can figure a way to do this is to:
A) Create samples or beats that are long (so not a single beat, but a whole song length)
B) Map the MIDI on the Numark controller so one pad starts the sample and another stops it.
Any other suggestions?
Note: The Numark controller has 8 pads that can be mapped.
