I had great fun with my Looperlative last night. FINALLY. I love it's simplicity. It gives it a kind of depth. Like oil paint. Simple but manipulated correctly it's a powerful thing. The fidelity seems great, very transparent. I love it's MIDI learn deal. It's ability to execute 8 commands from a single midi message is great. With the EDP I had to step twice to get a quantized loop set up based on a number of beats, but with the looperlative I say, "Execute this command twice when you get it" and it does. I don't know why but I love that being able to start a loop and know that in x amount of bars it's just going to start overdubbing. LOVE IT. It's like a present coming in the mail on the birthday of the loop. Here it is! You played this a while ago! In an odd sense it's daunting after being a Repeater user for so long. With the Repeater you see what the designers intended quite clearly. There are a few tricks, but for the most part the interface/features inform how the user uses it. The Looperlative is more like the EDP in a sense that a greater responsability goes to the user to make the box what they want it to be. There are still a few things that I'd like to see in it, like a cued MIDI sync record (there's a cue to record on another track but the new track won't be synced to midi) but we're at v 1 of it's software. There's obviously more to come and I still haven't even explored track groupings and other madness. When I've been up and down this piece of kit, I'll write a formal review on LD, but so far it's fitting very nicely in my world. It's a great companion to the Repeater which now seems to be the device I use for deeper pitch/tempo manipulation. Stay tuned... Mark __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
