Rob - I agree... At first I thought the program was good in concept - get some loops together quickly, see what works, what doesn't, etc... Unfortunately, it seems geared to turntablists - to the extent that the beat resolution severely limits the range of things that can be done - fairlt simple things like 'track sliding', i.e. shifting a loop track incrementallly either forward or backward in time. (it *is* computer-based, so it should be simple to accomplish). Got bored and frustrated quickly, deleted it from my drive... To be fair, its not strickly a looping program despite its name - its main audience is MOD trackers. - Larry -----Original Message----- From: Cummings <r_t_cummings@compuserve.com> To: Loopers-Delight@annihilist.com <Loopers-Delight@annihilist.com> Date: Wednesday, October 20, 1999 8:00 PM Subject: Re: fruityloops >I've been using it a lot lately, it's great for trying out grooves >quickly before working them out in more detail in the mpc2000. > >Thumbs up: the f/x section is excellent (esp. in the pro version), it'll >take years for the slow poke copy cats at akai to come up with any near >it.
