Subject: Re:alternatives to rhythm sequencers software
Dear Luis et all, I think that my old band mate and looper Gary Regina ( and the Genie for that matter) has the coolest and easiest way to get great drum beats without resorting to midi clock, drum machines or sequencers, software etc... Simple resampling, like I think you are now on to Luis, You have this great new looper that stores a huge amount of loops so use it as your beat loop storage device, and if you can't sync to anything, simply resample those beats on to your edp for further mangling, perfect stops and starts etc. Gary does it on an RC 50, before that it was a original Lexicon Jamman. That cool thing about this is obviously you can sample anything from your favorite hip grooves and dance tracks, to Martin Luther King throwing down his Dream, and if you don't have a looper with storage, an I-pod or CD player routed to your looper will suffice, and from a visual standpoint resampling a drum groove live still gives an
audience the sense of the piece being built from scratch as apposed to pressing a button to turn on the canned tracks.
