Re: DRIVE the LOOP or be DRIVEN?

thanks for the interest. im adrian by the way:-)

im on the lookout for a hardware version for live purposes just like u r. i was guided to a product called 34One that does tap tempo (with ur foot) while outputting the tapped tempo in midiclock.

it also accepts continuous tapping while updating the changing midiclock tempo.

so i was thinking that i could just electronically replace the switch that ur foot taps with a pulse trigger  from a drum kit, say. i wrote to them in germany and they told me that they actually have a sapce on the pc board to insert that. GREAT!

BUT

they also said that it HAD to be ON the 1/4 note.

what drummer only plays 1/4 notes!!! arrrrgggghhhhh.

so what i may need to build (i AM quite handy with electronics), is an interface with the LOGIC logic built in and then feed the unit the quarter note output of the translated tempo from the drummer.

i wish, really wish they would do this. cause its VERY simple to do if u know anything about electronics and THEY DO.

bummer. why do manufacturers always fall short. its like they dont connect with real musicians.

but hey, maybe ill get rich.

Dear Andrew,  thanks a lot for the description of how Logic Audio's tempo driving mechanism works.

Would you be into posting an example of how this works in a live situation?

The proof is in the pudding as they say.      I'm mildly skeptical, but it's important to be open minded since

technology is evolving at such a rapid pace.    I'm perfectly willing to drop my own preconceptions about it

being a bit of a technophile, myself.   Your description of how it works sounds fascinating and sounds like it

might work really well.

Thanks for your post.   I look forward to hearing some examples of it live in action.    You can write me offlist if you don't have the ability to host an example on line...............I'll set up a webpage for you to upload it to if you'd like.

yours, sincerely,   Rick Walker
