Jason (jj 179), I think others might benefit from this, so I'm posting your e-mail to the group. (If there was the slightest bit of confidentiality in question, gang, you KNOW I'd check this out with Mr. 179 first.) You wrote: > When you say "switching between any two user-defined presets", does this > mean that you can't get the two different asynchronous loops to play on top > of each other? I mean you CAN have two asynchronous loops playing atop each other. I bet a search on the LD archives would clarify this further. But read on... > As an example of what I'd like to do: record 1 loop of, say 7 seconds, then > record another loop of, say 4 seconds; then have *both playing at the >same > time* and see what happens.

Fer instance, store memory slot 1 as a 7 second delay with full feedback. Store memory slot 2 as a 4 second delay, full feedback. Toggle to memory slot 1. Play a phrase. When you toggle to memory slot 2, *memory slot 1 keeps playing!* Then you play your 4 second phrase in memory slot 2, and sit back and watch the planes land. The only problem with this scenario is, once you exit a memory slot, you can't change it *even though you can hear it.* So in the above scenario, once you exit the 7 second setting, you couldn't do anything to it except turn it off by going to a third memory slot. (The DD-20 supports two memory slots playing back at once.) What I usually do is set the feedback for about 80% so memory slot 1 slowly fades away while I work with memory slot 2. Once memory slot 1 is gone, I switch to memory slot 3. Two continues to play back (and fades away, if I set it for 80% feedback as with memory slot 1) while I pile up slot 3's platter. And et cetera. As I hinted at in my earlier post, you could have two "Pan" presets and have two *pairs* of loops going. Pan the "Pan" output hard left/hard right, and you've got two pairs of audio going down. And buy yourself another DD-20, and YOU WILL GET NOTHING DONE FOR DAYS. WEEKS. MONTHS.... (I'm supposed to be working right now...! Heh, heh, heh.) dB, absentee coyote
