looping with M-9 and Lp-1

[William Walker <billwalker@baymoon.com>]

  I have been using my M-9 and Lp-1 together lately , dedicating the  
M-9's looping to be the pre effects looper and the Lp-1 to be the post  
effects looper and re-sampler., I have been leaving the M-9 in pre  
effects mode so that any of the loop content gets processed by the  
M-9s other effects. I've come to prefer pre effect placement for  
ambient playing, particularly if I use an expression pedal to control  
mix and feedback.  Its also cool for rhythmic loops when using synced  
delays, filters etc. Even a static sounding loop becomes more dynamic  
and alive, when having really time control over effects placed after  
the loop.  After the M-9 I place the Fireworx to further process the  
M-9 loop before hitting the LP-1   I leave the synced stuff and longer  
melodic and chordal stuff  to the Lp-1 and have been loving exploring  
quantize replace on the LP-1  to capture samples of the M9's ambient  
loops and turning them in to rhythmic  parts.  I know this is old hat  
for some of you and I've used two loopers in series over the years  
myself  but using quantize replace, particularly using it to turn  
ambient content in to grooving syncopated rhythms  is new to me and  
I'm very inspired with this new technique, and feel there is still a  
lot of exploration to be done, particular in the realm of setting  
different tracks on the LP-1 to different beat quantizations for major  
polyrhythmic madness. Its fun getting back in to resampling after  
being a one looper guy for a while as well, even though the one looper  
was a multi track one.  Given the luxury, two loopers are always  
better than one. I can't wait to get an Lp-2,  I could run 3 loopers  
in series and then I'd never leave my room.

PS, hey a looping topic! imagine that, I must say I could blab about  
teles and archtops and pickups and tone caps all the live long day. I  
learned a lot from that thread.  Viva La OT!!!!
lastly,  Nice track Jeff, great exploration of the M-9's ambient side.  
particle verb is really cool, you track inspired me to take a closer  
look at effects I haven't really explored yet
