Hello. My name is David. My longest loop was 196 seconds. The fun in really long loops is, not only is the audience suprized when something they remember comes around again so long after they first heard it, the musician is too!

Maybe it's just because all my loopers max out at 10 sec, or much less, that I've focused my own looping--which isn't what I mainly do, BTW (sound design and composition come a little ahead of looping, but not by much, I guess) ---primarily on the rhythms produced by the length of the loop itself, rather than, say, the phrasing of the loop material, or the construction of backing tracks, making longer looping times less interesting to me than fool-proof, flexible, interactive and intuitive loop control, and multi-tap, panning, and other rhythmic possibilities inherent in complex stereo delays. My GT-5, VG-8...even the sold-and-now-missed Vortex have all provided MUCHO Looping fun at well under 2 sec. When I DO go for a longer "backing" loop, I tend to set up some FX to blur or annihilate the sense of a repeat within a fairly sparse harmonic looping texture using a slow LFO or a filter or phaser. Comments on how you use longer loops, or don't, welcome.... David Coffin
