Perform live with an Xbox controller and new Cut Glove Max patch
Turn your Xbox 360 gamepad into a sampling instrument
Got an old Xbox 360 controller lying around doing nothing now you've jumped to the latest gen of gaming consoles? Then Rodrigo Costanzo has the perfect use for your now out-of-work peripheral. Cut Glove is a live sampling and performance patch for Cycling '74 Max, the visual programming environment.
The core of the patch is a dynamic length, varispeed looper that follows on from and features much functionality from Costanzo's previous free patch, The Party Van.
For more information on how you can get hold of Cut Glove, head on over to Rodrigo Constanzo's site.

I take care of the reviews on MusicRadar and Future Music magazine, though can sometimes be spotted in front of a camera talking little sense in the presence of real musicians. For the past 30 years, I have been unable to decide on which instrument to master, so haven't bothered. Currently, a lover of all things high-gain in the guitar stakes and never one to resist churning out sub-standard funky breaks, the likes of which you'll never hear.
