I didn't find the Warp Factory very useful with a stringed instrument. The synth voice effects were very 'electronic' - not very organic (IMO). Sure, I could make myself sound like Zorlon V from Planet Omega, but that wasn't enough for me (of course, that's just personal taste). And even though my bass has good sustain and I can play various chord voicings, the vocoded effect was weak as a bass effect - the tracking was very choppy and irregular in a variety of frequency ranges. Sustained keyboards blended with certain types of vocals seemed to work the best. If I played keys I *might* see the use for one. So I'm not sure if it would be practical to hook everyone up to it - maybe just the mics and keys? It was definitely fun to play with though. -- TG -----Original Message----- From: Roger Morrison [mailto:rminsd@hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2001 11:43 PM To: loopers-delight@loopers-delight.com Subject: OT: Vocode the band If I may ask about a nonlooping piece of Electrix gear that is in the rack of many loopers, what have been people's experiences with using the Warp Factory in a live setting? I'm pondering running mics (contact mics?) from other players' setups (say, the high hat, a bass or guitar amp, or the vocals) into a small rack mixer and then choosing an input to modulate guitar or bass (loops or nonloops). Do band mates tolerate this kind of (a) wiring all over the place and (b) hijacking of signal? (Actually, I am relatively new in town [SD] and not currently in a band, but the urge grows stronger daily, and my Warp Factory purchase on ebay may well be the last straw.)
