Nice Crossfade Loop Synth impro uploaded :-)



Hi,

I've just rediscovered the effect plug-in Crossfade Loop Synth and
uploaded a 2 minute clip just because I think this effect it is so
cool:
http://www.looproom.com/audio/crossfade_loop_synth.mp3

Simply playing a flute into the Crossfade Loop Synth and working its
feedback from a MIDI expression pedal. About one minute into it I
grabbed a chunk of it to loop in Mobius (the slightly annoying stiff
thing that reminds about an organ chord hit) but everything else is
simply playing live through the Crossfade Loop Synth. MainStage was
used as the host and the channel strip patch had five plug-ins:
"EQ, PitchShifter II (set to add -5), Crossfade Loop Synth,
SpaceDesigner, Compressor".

So what is this odd plug-in? Somewhere between a three loopers rack
and tape delay machine simulator, I guess...  I haven't fully explored
it yet but as I used it in this clip it runs three instantly
overdubbing live loops, each one set to a different speed (thus
delivering three different pitches) and one of them playing the loop
backwards as well. This plug-in can deliver a lot of other strange
sounds that you don't here in my upload. I'm just exploring it piece
for piece while learning to play it live, so I'm planning to go deeper
into it as I'll get there.
