Actually, I could hard pan my mixer and send only the left channel to the
DD-20. That kills the stereo advantage, but makes short work out of the problem.
I just pan left the instruments that I want looped.
However, after an evening playing with it, I'm wondering if I didn't make a
mistake just getting started with this. It's not like I thought it would be at
all.
Because I want to capture parts in mid performance, it's very difficult to
do. I did play games where I play a bass line, add a rhythm (even added
percussion) and then jammed over that, but that is really NOT what I bought this
for. I accompany myself fine in real time so making loops like that leaves my
left hand doing little or nothing.
I don't know, maybe I'll play around with it some more before I decide this
isn't for me.
I can't even adequately explain what it is I'm trying to do with it. I
think the closest I can come to a description is that I want a "super
arpeggiator" that I program in real time in performance. Like, I'm jamming
on a groove and then capture a run on my lead synth which keeps repeating while
I play a counterpoint to that run. Then I seamlessly replace the first looped
run with another, etc. etc. etc.
Is that clear or am I doing a bad job of expressing this?
