sequences and the lp-1

[Simeon Harris <simeonharris40@googlemail.com>]

i originally posted this on the looperlative forum, but bob asked me to post here as well...

now that bob has implemented note values as controllers, i've been messing around using my drum machine as a sequencer

i have each of the drum sounds (which send a midi note) mapped to various functions like play, stop, play retrig, reverse and various pitch values 

here are some simple examples...

in each, you'll hear the straight loop and then i turn on the sequence. 

the lp-1 is running through a lexicon mpx-1 for filters and delays etc which are synced to the loop/sequence


http://www.simeonharris.co.uk/misc/pitch.mp3 - this is just a simple pitch change sequence

http://www.simeonharris.co.uk/misc/pitchstutter.mp3 - this is a pitch change sequence with a stuttery retrig

http://www.simeonharris.co.uk/misc/trance.mp3 - a trancegate

http://www.simeonharris.co.uk/misc/reverse.mp3 - a delay that reverses every bar - (the lp-1 was in overdub with feedback at 30% and the drum machine changed the direction of the loop every bar)


and messing about with 4 half speed commands in a bar, fed through a
filter and delay - just had to grab a quick recording of this...

i think i'm only scratching the surface here...there's definitely lots of fun to be had with sequenced pitch changes and i havn't even played around with scramble yet. i know some of you chaps with lappytops have been doing this kind of thing for ages, but i'm having fun!

so if anybody has any more ideas for cool sequences, please chip in! (Per....!?!)
