why not just use a cheap sampler and assign each prerecorded loop to a different note? have the sample loop as you hold the key and stop when you release the note. or you can also have the loop stop when you hit another key if you don't want to hold the note for the whole section. a used $200 alesis qsr sampler and a used $300 roland pk-5 (or a fc100 connected to a midisolutions box to convert program changes to note numbers) would be an inexpensive solution to do such a thing. the down side is that the band will need to sync to the pre-recorded stuff. in effect, you'd have a foot-controlled looper. you could even create a 'click' loop to get the tune started in the right tempo. cheap and stable. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Clark" <mcl451@airmail.net> To: <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> Sent: Saturday, May 17, 2003 5:44 PM Subject: Live Performance Hardware Looping Equipment Question - Need Help > Hi, > > I want to begin performing some of my music live. > > I'm looking for a Very Stable machine/unit/box that I can load/record my > VST32/SX songs into and play live with a drummer and bass player. > > Here's the hard part, it seems.
