Yes, the Octatrack is a typical "hybrid" piece of gear that can pull this off. I also noticed that the M4L device Ricky mentioned, Monolake's Granulator, comes with an added extension called Granulator Input that you can slap on an audio input track to snag a slice of your guitar tone for instant granulation and eventual mangling if driving it by a step sequencer M4L device. (I don't really "prefer software" by heart, just can't use gear that cost too much to bring for concerts; ie too heavy for a economy class flight). All this EDP style "substitute stuff" cutting and slicing kind of mimics sequencing. An exciting area, that isn't yet much explored by contemporary brave live loopers, is to combine instant live sampling with pattern based sequencing. Might bring and extra "overdrive gear" into driving the substitute stuff ;-) Greetings from Sweden Per Boysen www.perboysen.com http://www.youtube.com/perboysen On Sun, Jan 15, 2012 at 2:31 PM, Anders Bergdahl <anders_e_bergdahl@hotmail.com> wrote: > That is a really cool idea, i have started to use my Octatrack to do > ALMOST > what you are after.
