Re: Boomerang/EDP * TV in a rack

 I played bass in a band through a Vortex and a JamMan. When we finally 
gigged I
needed a rack case. The only one around had a rack mount oscilliscope in 
it and
three empty spaces. We played New Space Pop, so it was perfect.  I split 
the stereo
out of the Vortex to the o-scope, which was set to X/Y,  the graphic 
representation
of the stereo phase relationship, which makes just about anything look 
real trippy.
But bass notes with stereo delay is where it's at on a 'scope. It was 
*the* way to
get people to watch a bass player, or at least his stuff!

I started composing based on what looks nice, and it was pretty consistent 
with
what sounds nice, though certain dissonances look much better than others. 
The
engineer wanted his 'scope back, thus closing a very fun chapter in a book 
of
composing systems that I hope to revisit someday.
