Re: Re:Re: How do YOU loop?

Wait a minute... isn't this subtly accomplished on the EDP by the NextLoop
with LoopCopy ON?

I semi-regularly record one phrase into my first loop... NextLoop recording
(or multiply) begins when you hit the NextLoop button... I then play over
the initial phrase, multing out until I've added what I want, I either 
close
the loop with Multiply, Record, or NextLoop to continue the process.

It's then easy to use either Replace or SUS functions to either subtly or
radically change that loop (either Loop1 or Loop2) into any harmonic
structure you want.

I admit it's sorta sneaky, and not quite like having a click track and
immediately recording the new part, but it's a subtle way to sneak into
ABC... forms on the EDP.

I will sometimes copy the initial first phrase into 2-6 loops of differing
lengths, then overdub or multiply and deliberately add various length
melodic lines with contrasting harmonic content, so I can immediately
LoopTrig any loop at will to create morphing structures which can then be
played over. Since I don't use my midi pedal that much, I'm lazy and 
usually
just do 2 loops, and jump between the two using the EDP footswitches.

I'm sure you're aware of this stuff Andy, but your comment above prompted 
me
to add this detail to the discussion.

All the best!
