> poll of which looping devices we > use? Or what got us into it? > (1983) Ibanez Digital Delay, Ibanez Harmo Delay With these two cheap units I got a kick start into looping. You could switch between three delay settings; like 128, 256 or 504 milliseconds, while the loops kept bouncing. In the effect loop of the delay I used to put the harmonizer and was tweaking it to have the loop evolving up or down in pitch with each repeat. Main instrument was the tenor sax but I was also using electric guitar and some shouting (bent over the sax mic ;-) (1990) Two old Tandberg reel-to-reel machines borrowed. My cheap, but funny, digital units finally broke down and as a temporary workaround I borrowed these tape recorders on certain occations. (1993) Jam Man rented just for gigs. (2001) EDP, Repeater (finally what I have always been dreaming of... ;-D My recent set-up also includes a Behringer 1604A mixer, a Behringer FCB 1010 midi foot controller and a Fostex LXP-5 used only for reverb. I find this rig a very open as a creative system. With the mixer (and repeater direct signal set to "off") I can set up feedback loops where one track, set to some pitch value, is building pitched layers on top of itself (in rec mode, of course). The EDP is used as midi clock master and I find it extremely fun to fool around with all the new LOOP4 tricks, sometimes going straight into a new loop length/tempo and having the entire Repeater Noise Squad time stretch to catch up in a couple of seconds.
