Re: Reaktor




You can configure Reaktor to do pretty much anything, it's like audio 
LEGOs.

Overdub would be no problem. You have to build this stuff yourself out of
the modules, but almost anything is possible.

I haven't tried it, but I think I can do overdub even on that very basic 
looper
I posted, just by settings the buttons like this:

1. Record on Tapedeck 1
2. Play back Tapedeck 1 while recording on Tapedeck 2.
3. Play back Tapedecks 1 and 2. Solo over the top.
4. Stop playing Tapedeck 2 but leave Tapedeck 1 playing (like Undo).

This basic looper I built only has 3 loop capacity, but you 
could expand that to any number by adding more Tapedecks and rows
to the sequencer.

Also, if you didn't like the sequencer idea that I have here, 
you could rebuild it like an Echoplex where there are multiple 
pedals controlling multiple functions. I did it with a sequencer 
because I wanted to have three or four things happening at once 
and to have the prerecorded drum loops and hits all synchronized.

Maybe you haven't used Reaktor, it is the most powerful sound generation
program I've ever seen other than Kyma and maybe Max/MSP.

Can it go from recording the first loop immediately into overdub?

On the contrary, I think it's possible to build something in Reaktor
that does everything the Echoplex does and a lot more. And has storage
capacity limited only by the size of your hard drive.
