Awesome , really cool techniques, for some
reason I hadn’t put two and two together since the note value capability
was added that this could be done.. Once I stopped using the repeater, I
thought I had let go of the ability to trigger the samples via midi not on/off
and drive it from an external midi sequencer or drum machine source to create
sequencer effects, in my case the arpeggiator of my aging Roland GR-30 guitar
synth.. If this is indeed what you are doing, Thank you so much for pointing
out that capability. Time to pull the guitar synth out of mothballs and get to
business.
Thanks
Simeon
PS, the scramble function is really
worth investigating, try a very short drone loop, set to fast scramble and then
leave it in overdub mode, and set the feedback set below 90% or more,
then start playing with the track speed and reverse….and enjoy ..

Subject: sequences and the lp-1
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...

- 1/4 note half speed shift mini-soundscape
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....!?!)
