Re: repeater news



Mech wrote

Hey Bill!

 

Just curious, since I know you used to make heavy use of the Repeater's pitch shifting functions: what are you using with the LP-1 to do pitch manipulation?  Are you merely using an outboard pitch shifter, or have you come up with a different method to implement that capability?

 

I've got my own solution (which I'll gladly share if you like), but I'm always looking for new tips and tricks.  :)

Well I can’t do some of the mellotron type tricks that the repeater does when you create a sample and then use a midi controlled (in my case an old Roland Gr30) arpeggiator to make the samples change pitch and follow the arpeggiator. Or  I would program a few banks on the FCB1010 to change pitch of given tracks.  I haven’t been using it as I was finding some of those tricks were tending to make much of my improvs sound the same, and I wanted a paradigm shift in my approach  Though I haven’t completely retired the RPTR, I have  been digging in to the LP-1 so much and trying to master it, that I just haven’t had time to use the RPTR. I am intrigued however with the new upgrades and would consider getting mine pimped out. For now if I want pitch shift, I use the LP-1’ half speed record ability to create bass parts or high octave parts depending on  which record speed I’m using. One of my favorite LP-1 tricks is to create a short one note drone in normal speed and then hit a preset that drops it an octave and puts it in reverse. I find I can get really cool bass parts with reverse envelopes this way. And after the fact I can use the replace function simple to erase portions of the drone to create a syncopated bass riff.

Thanks for asking

Bill
