I feel like such a gear whore...yes I have the KO-pro too, it has found a home in my rig for 3 reasons.........
1. using it in external mode to play into the EMU... i can play low register chord changes on one controller whilst solo-ing on the kopro.......it almost sounds like i can play!!!!!!!! 2. to use the SFX section to smoooth over transitions beween other elements.......ie dropping in a drum beat whilst sweeping one of the whooooooooooshing sounds really gives a sense of movement. 3. as a set ender.........basically I can loop just a couple of phrases on the ko pro and then use the amazing beat divider type know to drop some elements down through 8ths / 4ths / halfs / quarter notes etc....a good way to end a gig. anyway...I digress.. unless you need the 5 parts on the EMX i would urge you to consider the ESX instead........its more "infinate".......I can send you a link to a vintage drum kit sample site basically it is EVERYTHING i could never afford to own, add to that the ability to easily sample any raw wav forms you fancy for melody instruments (or just use the ones it comes with) and in most respects, you have eclipsed what is possible on the EMX very quickly. the other amazing thing worth mentioning is that if you use "reverse" on the arp / slider , you can set the slider to correspond with quarter notes / eighths etc and select something like a bass drum...then simply touch the ribbon when you are ready ot drop the beat in, as long as you hold it constantly, it will keep adding in that pattern leaving you free to "live play" the other snares, hats etc. From: mark@markfrancombe.com Date: Wed, 9 Nov 2011 11:32:03 +0100 Subject: Re: livelooping. organic To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com On Wed, Nov 9, 2011 at 11:11 AM, phillip wilson <phillwilson@hotmail.com> wrote:
Thanks for that run down Philip, I must say that I reviewed the EMX earlier this year with a view to having an "immediate" improvisational addition to my set-up for adding synched but fucked up beats to my live looping improv. I went instead for the Kaossilator Pro, thinking that in someway the kaos style was more ME, and more immediate. I must say that I feel I made the wrong choice. Although I use the Kaossilator daily, mangling its pedestrian sounds with an additional Kaos quad (very happy with, and my workhorse the alesis AirFX, and am pretty happy with it. BUT its not doing quite what I had hoped. I am now thinking of selling it and getting a EMX. I dont know if I have explained my specific needs, but do you think it may be what I would prefer? -- Mark Francombe www.markfrancombe.com www.ordoabkhao.com http://vimeo.com/user825094 http://www.looop.no twitter @markfrancombe http://www.flickr.com/photos/24478662@N00/ |
