Dynamic effects as filter sweeps, delays and tremolo are all automatically hooking up to whatever tempo I'm looping in. I sometimes change tempo while playing, by the Record-Record action we discussed yesterday, which means eventually beat syncing plug-ins in use will instantly adapt to the new tempo. However some parameter values are linked to the audio input level, so you could put that I'm "controlling them" by my instrument playing. As for Mobius, I use a FCB1010 pedal to give all the necessary commands and sometimes change feedback level. Some commands of the FCB1010 are duplicated on the laptop keys. I'm not using much of Mobius total capacity, only a handful commands that I picked for the processing I want to do. On the FCB I use 6 banks for looper commands and 2 banks for calling up effect chains.

For a bass sound I like to record into a pitched-up loop and then pitch it back down. Especially when playing fretless guitar or flute the resulting such down-pitched bass tones come out well to my taste. As for you, being a piano player, I guess you can create good sounding bass notes directly on your instrument? > With short loops, it's very easy to get some rythmic textures (a la > Alva > Noto or Fennez). > Have you taste something similar ? Yep, I like that music too (keep Fennez on my iPod for instant access ;-) I like to sometimes start out with two or three empty loops of different length by a relation that will produce interesting poly rhythm. For example 1.0 - 1.5 - 1.75. Then I build up a groove by SUSSubstituting into all three loops simultaneously (from the lead melody). One such short inserted note will sound three times when looping back. I combine this with a "punch-in-bass" script that pitches up the loop one octave and SUSSubstitutes half the set 16ths Per Cycle value and also brings down the loops rate a bit under the normal pitch to compensate for the loop going faster when pitched up (this is for not loosing the timing). Generally I have four main setups for Mobius, with different 16ths Per Cycle settings that lends them well for playing in 4/4, 4/5, 6/8 and 7/8 timing measure. Many of my "sequenced processing" scripts are rewritten into four versions to match each timing measure. So it becomes a rather different experience to use the same looping tricks in different timing measures. Greetings from Sweden Per Boysen www.boysen.se (Swedish) www.looproom.com (international)
