Looper's Delight

Hello everyone, I have been lurking on this list for a while and enjoying all subject matter (the OT stuff as well). I was actually wondering if I am actually a looper or not, because my set up is quite different from most of the people on this list. I have been using a Laptop and Reaktor to create improvised music. My laptop is not quite a high enough spec to use live inputs to get loops from my guitar or bass. so I record these bits up front as well as other sounds (sometime using a 30 sec memo recorder on my wrist watch). I then use one of the reaktor samplers to chop up these loops in realtime and sequence the loops using two step sequencers - one controlling individual sample hits and the other controlling loops of hits. both the step sequencers have a probability factor on each step so that the probability of the hit (or loop fragment) firing can be controlled. I use a pseudo random number to control the probability, but hopefully in my next version I'll resample the resulting loops and use those to control the probability. One of the effects I can create with this is to create a drum track that has random fills, so I can leave the drums free to do their stuff while I manipulate other samplers (sorry drummers). I'm looking forward to the new 3.0 ghz processors to come out so I can record the input live - then i'll be straight down to toy store! Cheers OJ www.TheJupiter8.com
