Hi folks I'm new to the mailing list. Been occasionally looping one way or the other for many years (nothing fancy like the EDP) and - especially inspired by this list - want to get into looping more. I've ordered the Boss RC-50 loop station and am waiting for it. Reading the manual (http://www.roland.com/manuals/en/index_alpha.html ), I was a bit startled: If I record a sample ("phrase") and go into overdub, does that mean I have to stick to the initial phrase length no matter what? I wanted to do this: record 1 bar, then overdub 2-bar-pattern, then overdub 4-bar-pattern etc. Is there a reasonable way (like multiply) to do this? If not, what are recommended alternatives - other than sacrificing all the three parallel phrases? I can think of this: - Record samples with length X on Phrase1, record samples with length Y on Phrase2, then route 1+2 to Phrase3 and resample 1+2 to Phrase3 Anything more practical? It would really be a pity because I would like to be flexible concerning the overdub length. Nevertheless, I think the RC-50 is doing a lot of things right compared to RC-20 (3 phrases parallel in sync, midi sync, stereo!...) and I'm inpatiently awaiting my RC-50 and want to be ready when it arrives :-) best regards Buzap __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
