Reverse Button on the eSampler!

[Crabsuit]

I’ve been using EboSuite since 2019 - it is the most amazing video program I’ve ever used for live video mixing. I love it. I would like to thank EboMan & the EboSuite team for working on such an incredible project like EboSuite.

I read a topic from 2019 about a ‘reverse’ capability not being possible at the time. I am just curious if this idea is still being considered as of 2023?

The idea is a ‘reverse’ button on the eSampler, so while you’re chopping up a sample with your MIDI keyboard: you can hit the reverse button & the video plays backwards!

In the mean time. I’ve been editing MP4’s in Adobe After Effects to reverse, then converting them to HAP & dropping them into the eSampler. It’s alright. Has a similar effect & gives the illusion that I’m able to reverse in real time. But not very useful when you want be more creative.

I’ve seen the reverse feature done before with Xovox made with Max/MSP back in 2005. I know EboSuite functions very differently from how Xovox does, but I wonder how similar they both are? I would love to see a reverse feature!

Would you like a reverse feature? What is your favorite plugin in EboSuite 2.0?

Cheers

Hi Crabsuit,
Yes, reverse playback is pretty high on our todo list, so you can expect that to be added in a future update.

A while back I commented on this post on the forum and showed a scrub technique to create a reverse skrtZz effect. Maybe that is useful for you too?

Can i reverse video to make a seamless loop?

Hi im really new to video so please excuse me if im not using the correct terminology. i just downloaded ebosuite today. first thing i wanted to do was make a loop where it goes from start point to end point and then reverses back to start point, so i can get a seamless back and forth video loop eg of someone dancing in time with the music. if i press reverse on an eclip in the ebosuite demo, the video seems to disappear. I pressed save on the clip. ive also searched the manual and forum f…

Hi Jeroen,

Wow!!! That’s very exciting news. I can’t wait for that update! The reverse feature will take EboSuite to a whole new level!!!

I did see your comment! I messed around with the concept for a couple hours & ended up with some really cool results. Loved playing with it! I love the “Scratching w/ EboSuite” tutorial too. So many possibilities…

Excited for a future update! Thank you for all you do!

Hi there Ebo team. I am also very interested to see if reverse functionality is coming to the esampler in 2025? Many years back before Ebo, I was using vizzable in ableton and it had this function. It was quite unstable but to be fair it was developed by one guy who was giving it out for free. So when ebo came along I was hoping this would be a standard feature. Like others, I do some workarounds to achieve a similar effect but I really wish I could do this in real time. Attached video was done some years back done by scrolling on the timeline of a media player, roughly in time with the music track, recorded by screen capture and then video and audio combined in video software.
thanks Alan
