| Hey Jeff,
That undo was hiding from you, forcing you into total spontaneity! I've been playing with the M-9, but I'm so used to the DL-4, that I forget to use it.
As I read this thread, I was thinking of the fact that for those of us who improvise, a "mistake" is really an opportunity. Now, if you're setting down a pre-determined piece, a "mistake" can still be the same opportunity, a way to develop a piece, to challenge you or wanting something different. After all, we're musicians, adventure is in our blood! Ser, being able to play music is a gift. Don't aggravate yourself or blame the equipment. You are just up for the great music trip and very privileged, as are we all (for aggravation-be a banker!) You're probably going to surprise yourself, and as I said, this is all a gift. Oh, and definitely read the manual. You may be surprised.
And it's not totally about the equipment. I've gotten so much out of my DL-4 and that simplicity has made me so much more creative than I might have been.
Cheers!
usually, a "mistake" is just something you didn't mean to play. If you are quick on your feet you can probably make something cool out of it.
What you have here is rich people's problems. Just go deeper into the octatrack and find all the other cool shit it does and make those mistakes into gold, brother... it probably does a whole bunch of stuff no other looper does, right? Do those things... then smile

I wait for Anders to understand from him how he uses the OT with no undo.
But as you are so sure that one can do no mistakes (sure? Todd, live performance, you get excited, no mistakes, ever?), I am interested in knowing, from you and from the others, what else apart for the practice could you suggest to organize the workflow with a looper with no undo, to avoid being in a situation where you build a wonderful loop and at the last overdub you mess it up.

****don't give into the temptation, don't say it... don't say it... don't.... don't say "stop making mistakes then you won't need undo".... don't say it, don't say it****
