Why not with mainstage?

Hi,
I found your videos very interesting (and I posted one in my blog making a comparision between Live, Mainstage and Flyloops for Live Looping.

Nowadays I'm wondering the possibility to make mainstage an alternative for Live.

It could be possible do something similar in mainstage? Clip matrix launch, live loop capture, chop and so on...?

What do you think?

Thanks again,
Mudo

MS can't do the chopping

MS can't do the chopping yet. You'd have to throw a file into logic and create an exs24 instrument out of it on the fly - not something I'd like to do during a set. MS also has no clip matrix. I'm leaning toward Ableton for my live performance tool for looping - augmented by MS for some keyboards. If only I could get MainStage into Ableton without SoundFlower! It creates too much latency for me.

And maxmsp dedicated patch...

Then why not to implement these features in maxmsp directly to work with MS or drag a mail to Apple?

Live looping setup tutorial	SooperLooper Mainstage and Max/Msp from sam_square on Vimeo. This shows you the ins and outs of setting up a live performance system with some nifty software called SooperLooper, midi patchpay, max/msp and MainStage. SooperLooper and Midi Patchbay are shareware and freeware respectively. Nuff said. Substitute your DAW for MainStage. The specific config I show is on MAC/Linux, but you can do the same thing in windows with mobius. Working this way is just too much fun after years in a stuffy old DAW.
Controlling Ableton with a Web Browser	I've been thinking about how audiences can interact with a performing electronic musician. Since everyone has a phone with a browser these days, I thought it would be cool if audience members could connect to a wireless network and trigger loops from my laptop. It took a short time to put together and I would call it a prototype. The final system ended up being Browser -> Apache/PHP -> OSCulator -> Ableton Live . I imagine that with the power of MAX for Live, you could get rid of the OSCulator part and just accept OSC messages straight from the PHP script. You could gain all sorts of functionality this way - letting the 'showtrollers', the people on their phones influence video, lights or more subtle aspects of your performance.
