Hi Italo, I believe I must have heard Scott play then, since I am pretty sure I met you at a previous show. I wish I could go to Paris next week. I have done some work with realtime time compression while looping on a laptop, and so am very curious about the new Orville capabilities. I should have stuck around the booth to ask these questions, but perhaps you'll indulge me here... On my H3000SE, the time compression requires a somewhat time-consuming analysis step for best results. Is this no longer required on a v3.0 orville? Moreover, is the delay memory and the sampler memory now truly the same? My H3000, is about 13 years old now and shows its age, but I think of it like a vintage guitar. For many years it was really my main musical instrument (not to raise that thread again!). Now that there are finally more digital audio ins and outs available for the Orville as well, I may have to think more seriously about selling my car to buy one. regards, Alex S. >Hi Alex >Scott Gilfix and I were looping in quad at the Eventide booth this last >AES Show in LA.
