Half Speed

["Scott McGregor Moore" <scott@dreamstate.to>]

Michael Rockwood and Wally Jericho ended up playing an
unbroken 2 hour set at the Planet Of The Loops show
and afterwards I asked Mike if he attributed any of his
oceanic washes of sound to the Boomerang and he
does think the grain in the half speed contributes to
the fatness of his loop sound. I use the half speed
in my EDP and Line 6 but never get anything quite like it.
Hmmmm, maybe a LoFi option in LoopV someday?  ;)

Cheers,
Scott M2
