another trick:

- you lucky stereo loopists: an X/Y controller (like the Kaoss Pad) driving
pan on the X axis and reverb mix on the Y axis makes it very convenient to
"place" overdubs in the stereo field.  this creates amazing panoramic
soundscape type stuff from multiple overdubs placing different
"instruments" in different locations.  it also helps to drop the level some
and add a bit of high cut as an instrument gets farther away.  a variation
on this is to drive pan & reverb mix from lfo's that automatically "walk"
the instrument around the stereo field.  when Repeater arrives, or with a
few EDPs, we can record loops, then mix them down to another pair while
manually swirling the instrument around with an X/Y controller.
