For PCs, I'm a big fan of ELOTTRONIX XL an emulation of Fripp's two tape machine set-up. It's free, and it has a nice "learn" function that makes controlling it with a midi pedal straight-forward http://www.uv.es/~ruizcan/p_vst.htm It's a VST, so you'll need a VST host program. I use EnergyXT: http://www.xt-hq.com/ Ambiloop is a stand alone PC program. It seems to offer many more features than Ellotronix XL, but it doesn't run as a VST, so I haven't used it. It's also free, and has a very active group at yahoo groups: http://evenfall.com/ambiloop/ Have fun, On Mon, 15 Nov 2004 10:11:18 +0100, Per Boysen <per@boysen.se> wrote: > On Nov 15, 2004, at 5:29, Jared McQueen wrote: > > > Does anyone know of a program that would let me loop in real-time, > > using an external input like a MIDI controller?
