2009/6/10 Sjaak <tcplugin@scarlet.be>: > Perhaps it's a good idea to briefly explain the differences with >Augustus Loop, Little Spacy and Crossfade Loop Synth regarding it's >looping/delay features? here's a brief summary: - Augustus Loop is was originally modelled on a tape delay (so it does varispeed/reverse nicely, and makes a rather nice sound if you stop the 'tape') but has evolved with more looping features. It's stereo and can do ping-pong type delays. Two particularly useful features for looping are the ability to 'freeze' the loop (i.e. stop the decay/tonal modulation that you get by feeding back a signal even at 100% feedback) and the ability to change the loop length seamlessly on the fly. There's a variant which lets you pass the feedback loop out to external processing. - Little Spacey is really just a delay. It's modelled on analogue delays e.g. the Electroharmonix Deluxe Memory Man. - Crossfade Loop Synth is a live sampler. It has a buffer into which you can record audio, and then play it back (polyphonically) via MIDI notes. However, you can record and play back simultaneously, so if you continually record and continually play back you end up with a delay effect. But a polyphonic one. You can also play back in reverse or in 'alternate' mode (playback alternately forwards and backwards). - Meringue is another delay, but records & plays alternately backwards and forwards. (NB this is different to Crossfade Loop Synth which can play in alternate mode but always records forwards.) cheers, os. -- os@collective.co.uk http://www.darkroomtheband.net/ http://www.expert-sleepers.co.uk/
