RE: AW: AW: looking for looper that syncs to real drums

[max valentino <ekstasis1@hotmail.com>]

My experience tells me that in issues of "time" humans react better than 
machines (even if thhe Wizard is behind the curtain pulling levers and 
pushing buttons).  Pitch shift, time stretch and all are very cool 
effects, but whenit cmes to sync'ing live playing with loops....let the 
live players adjust to the loops, not the other way around.  Tho' I love 
looping, and do A LOT of it...I have become not so obsessed with the 
hardware anymore.  I have an edp which I don't even use, recently sold two 
DL4s and a Digitech JamBoy...I stick with my upgraded/modified Lexi JamMan 
(which, btw, allows for muliple serial and/or parallel "tracks").

I guess the point here is rather than search to find that bit o' gear 
which will "sync to real drums" have your real drums do a "variable sync" 
to your loops....

To my knowledge, the Boss (which I did not like either...not did I care 
that much for the RC20), is the only "budget" looper with multiple tracks.
