The PS3 has reasonable floating-point maths grunt, but very little memory, so a serious looper is going to have to be streaming stuff on and off the harddrive all the time. Plus do you want to have to take a TV out to gigs so you can see the display? But on the more general theme of novel interfaces - I've occasionally thought it might be fun to write some software to visualise looping, for use as stage visuals (since it's often not that interesting for the audience to watch a stationary guy press pedals). If you could get your looping software (or hardware) to output some information about what it was doing over MIDI (or OSC), then another piece of software (which could be on another computer) could receive that information and make 3d stuff to look at. Maybe all the looper manufacturers in the world could get together and agree a common "looping visualisation MIDI protocol", so any visualizer would work with any looper. I can dream! cheers, os. 2008/6/18 mark francombe <mark@markfrancombe.com>: > More on your... > > - 60 frames per second animated user interface 3D objects >> >> - camera moves around and zooms automatically > > ...please.. im intrigued...
