Hi Andre, Well, this was posted in a thread about "instantly accessible pitched down/bass sound". I was particularly aiming at the Repeater, which definitely is "slower to manipulate" than the EDP. Personally I feel that the EDP is "part of my instrument" but the Repeater will never be more than "a clever loop based recorder" in my use. Please don't misunderstand me because I was quoting Kim's expression "washy...". I certainly did not mean to look down on ambient music. In fact I love that style and have been playing it myself for many decades. I just think that "washy..." is such a great and funny expression! This might be just because English isn't my native language, but to me that word does exactly nail a certain feeling; the feeling you can get after playing slow and ambient music for a while until the adrenaline starts building up and you simply have to play some "dirty" or high-tempo stuff or you will just explode. It's A Question Of Balance ;-D BTW a very good example of Matthias Grob's ambient style, that Andre was mentioning in his post, is IMHO the improvised piece "Physio" at http://www.iuma.com/IUMA/Bands/LiveLooping/index-2.html Best wishes Per Boysen __________________________________ www.boysen.se www.looproom.com
