Live looping, as I see it, is the use of an audio recording device that allows the player to create repeating musical ideas, i.e. loops, in real time. These devices range from the simple functionality of your DM1100's to sophistication of Loop recorders like the EDP and Looperlative, as well as state of the art software for lap tops. Check the Archives. In addition to what Mark and Per said, I wanted to add another strategy for using your DM1100. You would need a volume pedal, and some kind of splitter box ( a stereo chorus or ABY box would do) to make this work. You run your instrument in to the splitter box, send one output from the splitter to your mixer or monitor source, and the other output to the volume pedal, and then your delay/looper, in your case a DM1100, and finally to your mixer or monitor source. The beauty of this technique is you can leave your feed back at %100, or what ever, and never use the hold, because you can let the volume pedal feed the delay, and add to your loop as you see fit. A cool technique you can use, with this type of routing, is you can strike a chord or note, with the volume pedal in the heal down position, push the volume pedal forward to toe down position,, and get attack-less loops, i.e. ,you have the ability to truncate your instruments attack by manipulating the volume pedal feeding your delay/looper.. I have set up the hold delay algorithm on my Vox Tonelab in this way , assigning an expression pedal to control delay input feed, and the other to control the delay/loop feedback. I don't even use a hold function, as the delay set at %100 is infinite anyway. Instead, I opt to have a tap tempo function, so I can change the delay/loop length at will, and use the algorithm as a more conventional delay as well. As you will find Bill, there are now so many ways to loop, so many devices available, and a wealth of info on this site about it. Good luck.

I've been using Ibanez DM-1100s for years by pushing the "Hold" button and manipulating the speed, repetition, and mod controls in real time. I don't know of a way to add things to it once it's "locked". Is this what you guys are discussing? Is there older thrifty type harware out there that will allow me to add sounds as i manipulate the echoes? Am I on the right track here? thanx Rig __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
