I really don't see it this way. Of course, I use neither a Acid nor an EDP, but I do see what you mean. At home, I build loop-based stuff using Logic Audio. I almost always take my Boomerang to the gigs I play bass on. I do live sets with a DJ using a setup based around drum machines and MIDI-sync'd efx. If the list splits, I'd probably subscribe to both. I'd rather see it stay as one list myself, I think that there's more possibility of creative sparks flying from having a diverse group of contributors. > >Those of us on "Kim's side" can't understand the desire to >>save a loop; a never-changing loop just isn't the living thing that an >>evolving loop is.

I do live stuff with MIDI that often starts with very little pre-programmed, maybe just a single line and a drum pattern. From there, I generate streams of stuff using arpeggiators, step-sequencers under live control, looping non-midi instruments, etc. I try to make it non-static, constantly evolving. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Trenkel New and Improv Music http://www.newandimprov.com improv@peak.org Now Available: Minus: Dark Lit "This is music all-consuming in its beauty and power" -Jake TenPas OSU Daily Barometer -------------------------------------------------------------------------
