Well, Hi DJ! I have waited (too!) long for a looping device that sends MIDI clocks to whatever sample you've made at your turntable/CD/sampler. I do think it exists, however, really expensive and hard to get. I ve worked with a DJ that used such equipment. We had to sync his scratching to MIDI sequencer, and a played gtr and keyboards to it. It did turn out well, after a lot of hassle. I have forgotten just about everything what the brand/make was and whatever. It was back in the mid 90's. The Lexicon Jam Man looping device was actually intended for DJ's! The Echoplex that succeded it (however, a different company, Oberheim)was (is) far more intricate and technically sounding better. However, not that intuitive to use.Those two effect boxes among other similar things are the reason for this list/site/newsgroup. And actually, DJ's are the ones who started "looping" on a large scale anyway, so your input is very welcome in this field. And there should be lot of Looping equipment out there for DJ's, however I do not know how or where to get it. /Mats -----Original Message----- From: Mad K.O.S.

Anyone out there a dj? I am relatively new to this hardware... What's this raving about the Echoplex? Would it be usuable with live scratching? Would this be the best model? Anyone with recommendations? sincerely, MIDI novice. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
