I think my intellifex just turns the delay output down when there is an input signal. Takes the muddiness out while still giving a nice delay at the end of the phrase. Probably not as interesting as the vortex, but useful anyway. >Don't suppose the plex has anything like this? The echoplex has the replace function. While you've got replace held down, it replaces the loop with whatever input you've got going. As soon as you let it go it stops the replace. It's not quite the same as you describe with the vortex, but I think you could get a similar effect. It's a great way to make really mutated loops. I like to do things like loop a sustained chord, and then tap replace while holding a different chord. The loop gets interesting rhythmic blips in it, with the instant chord changes at the replace boundary. Another thing I like is to create rhythm with silence. By that I mean creating a dense "sound carpet" loop, and tapping replace in some rhythmic way with no input. The holes in the sound become the rhythm.... >(the more I get into the Vortex, the more I wish IT could get upgraded >memory!...what a shame the world was looking elsewhere at the time--and >that >you gotta depend on 10,000 other people to want what you want to get it!) >Thanks, dpc If lexicon were smart, they would license it to a smaller manufacturer who wouldn't mind the low volume and give it more attention. Big "if", I guess......it took them a long time just to put up a web page, they might never get on the intellectual property bandwagon.... kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
