I'm listening to the KCRW Morning Becomes Eclectic show in which Mt. Torn appears and thought, "damn, I wish I could have seen what was going on." The looping is so fluid and seamless. I myself am stuck in a bit of a part1, part2, overdub, part3, whatever mode. I would *love* a play-by-play of this recording, seeing it's live and very much in the spirit of where I'd like to be headed. I searched backwards in the archive and found some nuggets from Andre (if I remember correctly) about what was going on, but I don't really have a good picture. What equipment was being used? What are the controllers? David has mentioned a couple of MIDI controllers, the Peavey thing, this or that. What is EDP? What is repeater? What is Lexicon? Man, so much I don't know.

He didn't say why though. I presumed it was because he wanted variable lengths on them, which recording long sections of the loops and adding the volume pedal you suggested would resolve. It seems to me that the quality of an MD would be good enough for live performance, especially considering that he thinks it's good enough for loop archival purposes. Or maybe his reasoning is the ability to select and start loops quickly, without a pause, without changing media. If so, the Repeater would rectify that. It'd also add the ability to change the tempo & pitch of the saved loops on the fly. So, I guess the question goes back to you, Michael. What are your needs as far as a performance machine?
