Re: Finally loving my Repeater :)

Simply sound. Up until now, I've played just solo electric violin 
through the loopers... one instrument - with all the rhythm, bass, 
countermelodies, backing etc. from the violin. Now, I have a full 
band... bass, percussion, orchestra, choir.... in fact, whatever the 
hell I want. :)

I started looking at the music from a completely different perspective. 
Having a microphone with the flutes next to it, a keyboard just 
underneath, and a bass/percussion trigger on the floor (FC-200) meant 
that I was never too far away from switching instruments. Gone now is 
the pressure of continuously maintaining the progression of the loop 
and the piece with a solo instrument, and in its place is the freedom 
of being able to add texture - even when the Repeater is throwing 
wobblies.

I never considered using the FC-200 as a keyboard before. Being able to 
play an irish jig and bass at the same time is....er....inspiring :)
