I have been recently digging in to the new Looperlative
feature that Rick spoke of that allows you to set program change values
for scalic sampling rate changes to the Looperlative that go beyond the already
established half speed/normal speed sampling rate change. Not only can you
assign a pc change to any twelve chromatic intervals, you also have octave
below preset, which allows among other things to actually drop the sampling
rate to .25 which equates to a sub octave. It also means one could start recording
a loop from a sampling rate of .25 , meaning you can actually create loops that
are 2 octaves above the original sampling rate. Of course as you change
sampling rates, you change loop speed, so its not capable of time stretch without
pitch alteration. But it has allowed me to create some really cool sub octave
slow parts that remind me of the Repeaters cool pitch shifting ability with the
same kind of odd yet cool sampling artifacts , for that cool, “metal
being dragged across the bottom of the ocean” sound the Repeater was
known for. Is also interesting to stay in record mode while shifting to the
various intervals and adding content at the various sampling rates, things
start getting really interested in a twisted and abstract sort of way. Kudos to
Bob for implementing this feature and Rick for lobbying him to do so Bill |
