There's live performance looping using hardware that can be done anywhere and there's studio-only looping using software (which can't?? be done in performance). People can choose to do one, the other, both, camping, running, golfing... they're just activities and we aren't limited to only one. >Those of us on "Kim's side" can't understand the desire to >save a loop; a never-changing loop just isn't the living thing that an >evolving loop is. I equate the static loop with MIDI music, which is a >spitting out of notes and sounds on command. Not to discredit that >approach, but I feel that it's a very different animal. What I'd like to be able to do is sync the following: sequencers in a Nord Modular, arpeggiators, wave sequences, audio loopers, analog sequencers, whatever, in a performance situation. BTW, MIDI music isn't required to be static and usually isn't. Yes, the notes are the same with each repeat. But the envelopes and filters and whatever else a patch has are usually tweeked in real time to add interest and morph the feel. Not to mention that some sequencers are playable in real time with notes, number of steps (loop length), and direction (forwards/backwards) being controlled. >Not looking to >start a holy war here, but there is a very strict division between these >mindsets, and I think we should recognize this.
