Hey Aaron, I hope that your patent isn't just for that function, because yes, it does exists in a couple different forms. In Mobius or the EDP (and I imagine on other loopers minus the Boss RC20/50) there is a function called Multiply that you can use to overdub a longer loop over a shorter one; ie: to play an 8-bar phrase over a 1-bar drum loop. For a good example of someone doing this with the EDP, check out the videos at http://www.arthurleemusic.com/html/bc.htm -- especially the Live Looping 101 video. He does this a lot, and his music is really fun! Also in Mobius (or the Looperlative, if I understand it correctly) you can actually record loops of varying lengths (syncronized or not) into multiple tracks so that things like output volume, feedback, loop-direction, loop-speed, loop-pitch, pan, etc. can be controlled independently for different loops. I'd recommend checking out the manuals for the EDP and the Looperlative before you deal with the patent office too much. I've dealt with them before, and it can cost you a ton of time and money if you've overlooked something that's already out there. Best wishes to you with your new product! --Josh aaron leese wrote: > > > just wanted to check .... with loop quantization on the RC50 (or any > other looper), once you set loop quantization (as below .. say to 13.2 > seconds) .... you cannot then record a loop exactly twice as long can > you? ie 26.4 seconds ?? or three, four, five times as long ? > > I know I sound like a salesman here .. but that is the whole reason I > created my program ..... so I really want to make sure that it is a > feature that is non-existant in the market so far ... that and loop > independence are my main selling points.
