Greetings, DJ TechTools. My name is DJ Shiftee. Don’t believe me? Check my birth certificate! Signed and sealed by the state of New York – DJ Morris Shiftee (my middle name is Morris). It seems we have a common passion, DJ Tech Tools. We both love Tech. Yes, this infatuation is mainly because Tech is an excellent abbreviation for Technology, but we also love Technology, so everyone goes home a winner. I will be contributing semi-regular (read: every month or so) tutorials on some of my favorite technologically infused performance tricks in a new series: Shiftee’s Technological Turntablism Tabernacle.
Here’s the first installment: a technique I affectionately call “Plooping.”
The preference options for controller manager seem to be different in 2.5. Do you know where they are hiding the Cue/Loops options now please? having difficulty finding them.
Wow an amazing guy! What a tutorial, get him to do more. had no idea you could do that, great video. He is the geek who got famous of djing ;; he got mad skils.. still find him really weird tho tbh. i told my mother i spent all day plopping, she looked disappointed. I’d never think of that!!!! thanx even though you’re not gonna read this! :D:D
I was laughing to much the first time I watched this to gather any info, then I watched again and plooped everywhere. Also made a plooped dubstep beat.
Oh yeah ! Just as u say dude !!! Hey DJTT, looks like someone else is drinking same thing as u guys : Juce Of Expérimental Music (“JEM!” like we say in French : J’aime!)
Very Nice. Good Job!
where would i be able to put this on my VCI ? i have the 1.3 mapping and like to add it into the controller where would it fit .
This is old stuff. The only difference is, that he used traktor for it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH9IDDNCOnI
Shiftee. You’re a winnah!
SHIFTEE FO PRESIDENTÈ
thanks shiftee and djtechtools! i’ve been plooping for the past 4 hours and it’s the 1st time plooping for so long really felt good! i still have some available knobs on my x1 in midi mode. hope you guys come up with new stuff so that i can stop plooping around and become even more creative ! 🙂

Plooping is such a refined word for such a distinct technique! You can see some serious branding-effort has gone into this!

I was inspired to map out the numberpad on my laptop to the chained effects after watching this and now I must say effects are much more fun lol
That is fucking dope. Thanks Shiftee! 🙂

I’m also interested in what he has going on with this loops setup. Seems very efficient.

Honestly I thought That plooping sounded kinda dull until the LFO kicked in, and then it became transformative and awesome

up until the point where you introduced the effects, i was like “meh.” then i was like, “AW YEAH!”. i’m not sure how else to type those feelings but that’s pretty close.

Welcome aboard Shiftee. Love your style & great tut, esp. the funkin around with the lfo at the end. Gonna try this today!

I’m thinking you could assign the initial loop length to a superknob which also sets the loop.
Cool stuff!! More please!

“Check the writing style of Gizmodo (tech blog) how do it tastefully.”
Gizmodo and tastefully should never be used in the same sentence. Not like they’d know what it means anyways. It’s insulting to compare this site to anything on the shitshow that is gawker.
Anyways, good article, and I’m looking forward to more contributions from Shiftee.

I think this very well means a new way of writing articles. Make it fun and make it useful. They are already useful but they could definetly be more fun. DJ, club, music, dancing. all fun stuff. Adapt the fun vibe to a purely objective arcicle and BAM! fun entertaining reading!
You dont have to be a pro comic writer, simply write and try to explain things with stuff people can relate to like pop simbols. Check the writing style of Gizmodo (tech blog) how do it tastefully. You dont need to go to the extends of geekologie (sort of tech blog) but writing style is a must!
This may not appeal to those too-serious/why-so-serious dj’s but hey, loose that pencil you are holding betweeen your butt-cheeks and understand your job is to make people have fun and when you are having fun it’s easier to pass on that fun.

this isn’t anything new, and something very basic… props for a video tutorial done very well, but I feel like this is rudimentary.
couldn’t disagree with you more. may be basic, but let me know where you’re @ because he is doing this with Hip-Hop music. is your local dj mixing Hip Hop with effects like this? .. being creative on the fly?

Great video and I love Shiftee’s humour :P. BUT isn’t this pretty much the exact same thing Ean Golden posted for Native Instruments using the Kontrol X1 about a year ago?
Ean called in the Loop Synth though (not quite as funny as ‘Plooping’). Check out that video here:
Don’t get me wrong though I look forward to more of these videos in the future!

Cool vid. I like doing this but using the “key knob” instead of the move button to change the pitch. That way you can be really musical about it, and map the different values to a MIDI keyboard.

that’s a really cool idea. i’ll have to try it

This website is freaking heaven. Not only did this video provide me with excellent and super comprehensive instructions, but it also kept me laughing all the while. Ean Golden may be Jesus Christ, but Shiftee is the f***ing man.

Hey it would be awesome if you guys posted a download of the video. You know just in case youtube implodes or something.

To get a similar effect I use semi tone key increments mapped to the key rotary, but Plooping (brilliant!) sounds a lot cleaner, thanks for the tip.

Ahhhh…by far my favorite part of any of shiftees performances, I even guessed right how to do it, almost…didn’t know about the xfine setting.
I used a kind of a similar routine last weekend at my house party just because I’m able to mess around there.
Good work shiftee! I remember seeing this for the first time in a vid and craze was like wtf in the background.

Now the trick question is how to have even finer control over which notes are produced by plooping? How to reproduce something like in One – Swedish House Mafia?
