MIDI looping can't be exactly like audio looping, because looping midi is about looping events, which trigger a synth, and if you repeat a note in your loop, it causes the synth to replay the note, which stops the current playing of the note.. unlike audio looping, which would lay the new note on top of the current playing note... I bring this up because I have a MIDI looper project of my own, which has caused me to have had to consider this problem... now, there could be some creative solutions, but each of those brings in it's own set of issues.. one solution could be spreading iterations of the loop across different midi channels.. but, even after solving the 'same note' issue, you will also have to consider the polyphony issue, ie. how many notes can the synth play at a time... anyways, not to say midi looping isn't viable, but I don't think it will ever be the same a audio looping.. and in that regard, there are some great things you can do with midi looping that you can't do with audio.. which is the motivation for my project.. :) peace -cpr Quoting Per Boysen <perboysen@gmail.com>: > On 31 jul 2006, at 17.17, markfrancombe.com wrote: > > > Its gotta be called the Midiplex Digital Pro: > > Its a small 1 U and cheap beast...
