salut, stéphane! Apparently there is a balance in live between things that repeat and things that dont. observing better: All things repeat, but each repetition is slightly different. Many things repeat so slowly that we only meet them once in our livetime. its all about similarity. music is held together by the similarity of what you do right now with what - your brother does - you just did - you did a while ago - any musician ever did so how similar do two things have to be so we still perceive them as the same thing? there are some acepted standards but we dont like them because we are individuals and each one preceives things a bit different... we are only similar :-) what makes the loopers different is not necessarily that they repeat more but that they study the subject more profoundly. And the tools help to understand why repetition can be nice and necessary or how far you can go with it. so you decide whether you repeat or not but the other decide whether they want to listen to you or call you a looper or invite you for a loop party :-) Welcome here and send us a link to some sound files eventually, so we can vote on whether you repeat or not :-) Matthias >Recycling existing material is not necessarily repeating what was played >originally. A few things I¹ve tried..... nice list Jeremy! but any function will change what you originaly did so yes, we like variations, some more, some less. Mute and Reverse are to hard changes for me, but FB allowes me to evolve. >Using feedback pedal or swell pedal to fade notes into the loop >Output volume down until your curiosity gets the better of you. >Dropping straight into reverse after record, feedback at zero >Play insert, scroll backwards and forwards over section (rec/play) >Play insert in rhythm with half-speed function (rec/play) >Play mute button rhythmically (start and continuous) >The substitute button >Flip mode >Processing the sends to loopers >Processing the returns from the loopers >Sending dry only or wet only to the loopers >The off switch >Pitch shift on Repeater >³Plate spinning² i.e. Constantly maintaining/remaking a loop. >Taking time to play before looping a phrase only loop when you need to >Play ratty little noises, play quietly, leave space, orchestrate > >I¹m sure there¹s more.
