AUDIO output from instrument into laptop B (hosting looper) into stereo compressor into PA system AND (simultaneously) MIDI output from instrument into tempo synced laptop A (to drive software instruments) and then as audio into laptop B (hosting looper) into stereo compressor into PA system. Instruments used are: --> Fretless sustainiac guitar (line in audio) --> Akai EWI 4000s (line in audio + midi) --> Tenor sax (mic audio) --> Alto flute (mic audio) With the sax and flute I sometimes use a different rig that works the same as above but with the tempo synced "laptop A" exchanged for a tempo synced TC Electronic Fireworx DSP effect processor. Although the original question concerned "audio signal" I do mention the MIDI signal here because the EWI is such a sensitive MIDI controller instrument that it actually doesn't matter for the player if MIDI or analog electric pulses are transmitting the musical performance from the instrument. And when initially tapping it through MIDI the chops are as well converted into plain audio a bit further down the chain. Merging two audio sources generated by one master instrument, as done by playing EWI both as audio and MIDI, also gives the sound of "two playing instruments". Normally in unison just to fatten it up, but sometimes I play one of them through a chord voice tracker while the other one goes through guitar amp distortion. Or one by the sound of a sitar while the other one by the sound of a trumpet etc etc. Greetings from Sweden Per Boysen www.boysen.se (Swedish) www.looproom.com (international) http://www.myspace.com/looproom http://www.jamendo.com/en/artist/per.boysen/ http://www.jamendo.com/en/artist/lo.fi.lazer/
