Re: MIDI LOOP SYNCING: 3 questions



Hey Rick!
ive done both live slaving the EDP to my mpc1000 sampler( i can send u some mp3s or a video of the "musica optica" show i did lat year where we composed music spontaneously to images at a cinema,and a little improv i did with a drummer.
i use to use the EDP as the master when i had my first drum machime (bossdr.660 which u can preview in my CD) both work great depending how u want to use it,the only bad experience ive had with this is slaving 2 EDPs in stereo!
cheers
Luis

Hey guys and gals,

I feel a little sheepish asking this question but I don't know the answer to
it.
but from your considerable experience:

1) what is the best live looping machine to
DRIVE a midi sequencer or drum machine via mid?

the LEXICON JAMMAN
the EDP
the REPEATER
the LOOPERLATIVE


Conversely,
2) what is the best live looping device to DRIVEN by a sequencer/drum
machine

the LEXICON JAMMAN
the EDP
the REPEATER
the LOOPERLATIVE

3) Do you have a preference for which one does both things the best?


Are there any tricks you use or things to watch out for?

Oddly enough, I don't have a lot of experience with this and particularly
not in the last several years, because
I trust my sense of timing and resyncing loops on the fly when I improvise
with people, but I have a couple of gigs coming up with sharp up and coming
synthesists and want to get my tech together ahead of time when they do more
straight forward dance oriented electronica where a drifting
rhythmic sensibility is inappropriate due to stylistic constraints.

thanks for your wisdom in advance, Rick Walker
