I'm with ya..... should be a fun and educational thead.
I have two favorites:
- Constructing arpeggios - starting with e.g. a single note or a select few
from an arpeggio pattern, add notes at differnent syncopes each succession of
the loop overdub (Reichian process composition technique) until 'busy enough'
- and a variant: for a given arpeggio, play every n-th note for an N-note
arpeggio, where n is not a simple divisor of N. Thus, looping the loop at N
will progressively fill in the arpeggio pattern. I enjoy the mental
concentration involved in nailing the notes, both pitch and rhythm; the
results are typically 'differently interesting' from an arp played straight.
- I know it's corny, but I do so love the sound of a reversed thick guitar
chord struck and held 'til fade. Sample with output muted, then launch in
reverse from silence. Instant drama. Trick is to pick up with the
follow-on note/sound on the sharp end of the reversed chord of
course.
Cheers,
Nic

I think it would be cool to read about everyone's favorite
looping
techniques or tricks. Anybody with me
