Re: Live Looping without "organic" instruments.. is it live looping,"MUSIC" inside (regarding a recent debate)

Ben,

You and I seem to have similar ideas.

I have a G2m, and I want to try to use it for Voice-to-MIDI in the  
same way, recording a vocal loop and then using that loop to control  
MIDI instruments.  Maybe I'll then capture the audio output from the  
MIDI instrument, and then use the G2M again to record another loop  
using a different MIDI instrument.

And I also have a Fairlight Voicetracker VT-5 that will produce CV  
that I hope to use similarly if I can get a vintage synth with CV  
inputs.  But I really don't know how all of that works yet.

Lately, I've been recording a vocal loop and sending it through my TC- 
Helicon VoiceLive, then playing chords on the keyboard so that the  
loop becomes four-voice harmony from the VoiceLive.  it's still the  
basic loop that's triggering the sounds, so I figure it's still live  
looping because I sing the first loop live and then play the harmonies  
on the keys.

Peace and adventure,
Michael Carlson (3x09)
