Back in 1997 I played with ways to create evolving music without needing me to "do" anything once I'd set it up. It was fun coming up with set-ups and the music was interesting to me at the time. I started by creating a very slowly evolving patch on a Juno synth - one with the arpeggiator in use. I fed that into a stereo-panning delay to split the signal and then each side was processed by other oscillating delays and stereo devices. Then I would experiment with putting the result of one chain of effects into an input on the other chain. Needless to say it became quite soupy-sounding quite quickly! Then I'd record a 198 second loop on my EDP and have that going too. My appartment was a carpet of wires. :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Nelson" <psychle62@yahoo.com> To: <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> Sent: Thursday, December 02, 2004 5:29 AM Subject: Re: KOAN music software (was ORGANIC programming and looping (effects)) > Well, it's really not at all a problem with the > software.
