Personally I don't draw a line between being a "musician" or a "sound artist" or a "DJ," nor do I think any of them is necessarily "loftier" or more valid than another (my violist partner would disagree). As in most things there are good ones and crappy ones, smart ones and stupid ones. I've heard some really excellent mixing and have even played on bills with some. I'm personally more into "whacked-out" music, and I'm not especially into dance music (I did enough of that in my teens and twenties). I'm also a fan of Plunderphonics, and I don't think an artist necessarily has to create all his/her sounds from scratch (pun intended). >Okay so nobody responded to my request for info on if there's a >looping VST plug-in with a midi-sustain pedal triggered >sampling/recording. I agree with Sean that the lack of an answer to your question is probably due to simple ignorance of such a VST plug-in. Don't give up hope, though. Max/MSP is a programming language that would allow the creation of just such a "soft" processor. One of the features of MSP is that you can create VST plug-ins. There is even a collection of these called Pluggo. Max/MSP is probably outside your budget, and you probably don't want to become a programmer anyway. Someone else might do it though. There is a loop sequencer called radiaL due for release later this year.
