Re: looping tips and tricks 2001 - triggered gates

mlm,

i use a very simple variation on this technique, currently using a korg 
es1.
pcm42 loops -usually 'non-rhythmic' in nature- are fed to the es1's audio 
input.
when the es1's sequencer is running, the audio input can then be gated via 
the 64 sequencer-steps/fx/motion controls, etc.
the es1 can be either master or slave in a midi-clock setup, w/the edp, 
computer, etc.....
'tis good fun, w/some interesting results, esp. as the original 
loop-length 
on the pcm42 has no direct relation to the es1's 'loop' length/timing.
best,
dt / S-C
