> How would you guys approach this? I used to have a groove box (MC-303) midi clock slaved to my loopers and whenever I felt a need for some drum beats I could simply bring the "drums fader" up on my mixer. But I even found that too complicated because I hade to almost stop playing for a couple of seconds now and then to change drum pattern. I thought about this for many weeks without coming up with any solution. Then I tried to record my favourite beats to the Repeater's CFC card. But this wasn't a good solution either because I always forgot about it and erased the groove loops from the CFC card when emptying the Repeater between my songs. Then I suddenly got the best idea I've had for a long time: human beat boxing! You don't really have to be extremely good at beatboxing to lay down a two bar drum pattern with a mic and a compressor into your looping device. Now I'm practising with a new rig set-up where I constantly have the "drums mic" ready (parallel to other instruments) so I can put drums into a loop while I'm recording another instrument. Another good thing with this is that it's more visual for the audience than any electronic solution.
