Matt, I’m playing my Boss DR. 550 as audio in on my Korg MS2000 synth.
http://www.korg.com/gear/info.asp?A_PROD_NO=MS2000 http://emusician.com/ar/emusic_korg_ms/ It can then be processed in the same way as the internal waveforms, with
all of its knobs, and buttons, or you can use the vocoder function, and play
the keys, etc, while your drum machine is cooking away! All in all, it
creates a nice layered, evolving soundscape. Tom -----Original Message----- From: "loop.pool" <looppool@cruzio.com> 1) Their equipment setup MD> A Roland DR. 660 (drum machine) run through a Dr. Sample (for
FX), then a DL-4. It's not
enough. I'm looking at adding more processing devices in the future. 2) Their rhythmic philosophy or approach to using looping MD> I'm trying to use the drum machine interchangeably as an intuitive improvisation/melodic/textural
instrument and as a percussion instrument, and to blur the
lines between them. I started running it through a
looping device because I felt that the internal rhythm-programming ability was
too rigid and not well suited for improvisation. (Although sometimes I
still use the internal rhythm looper to turn my loose totterings into strict
but unusual rhythms.) I'm still figuring a lot out, but one of my goals is
to use the musical potential of bad timing. 3) Some favorite tricks or techniques that they use in their live
shows MD> A few months ago, I discovered a "yo-yo" effect at a
show. That is, I recorded a loop of sparse drum sounds with long reverb, reversed the
loop, and manually played reverby drum sounds a second or so before each
reverse reverb drum sounded. 4) Any thoughts on how to use live looping tools to increase
rhythic acuity MD> Don't depend so much on the looping tools. :-) _________________________________________________________________ MSN Toolbar provides one-click access to Hotmail from any Web page
