Re: Live Looping versus using Pre-Recorded Loops

[Todd Reynolds <toddreyn@gmail.com>]

I had always assumed that when Samplers came into heavy usage that some 
folks felt the need to distinguish the difference between the sampling of 
sound to be used as instrument replacement and that specific technique, 
and the the sampling of longer phrases. I remember my first 'looping 
performance' where I saw Jean-Luc Ponty call it sampling, and even I was 
confused as the Sampler proper had just come into vogue. But you're right, 
Per, live sampling is technically what it is!
