The last two weekends I've been playing around with building my entire looping setup inside Reaktor on my old PC with a 500MHz PIII. It works great, and I can do all kinds of stuff I can't do with the pedalboard setup, like instantaneously change the drum beat and the guitar processing on the fly without having to hit a lot of switches really fast. I just set up a sequencer that controls three Tapedeck modules, the processing of the guitar's split pickup, the drum loops, and audio routing. Then while performing I just step on one pedal to advance the sequencer to the next step. It rocks. And with Reaktor's Beat Loop module, I can set it up so it seamlessly changes the speed of the drum loops to whatever tempo I need. And I won't run out of memory if I play Girl From Ipanema and forget to set the Echoplex from 3 loops to 2 loops. (One chorus of Girl from Ipanema is slightly longer than 66 seconds!) Anyway, if I had this neKO beast, I could do it all inside there, then add my synthesized big band horns AND Hammond organ keyboard sounds to it using the Native Instruments' B4 program. The thought of it is making me drool. Please tell me that this thing is way overpriced and how I could build an equivalent setup way cheaper. Stop me before it's too late. Thanks!
