Re: Boomerang 3

In the manual it says this about that :)

"Stack & Droning ∆ - The Stack function can add sound to a loop in two different ways.
Stack behaves as described in Sections 10.1 and 11.1 whether the Stack optional behavior is on or
off. The difference is in the details of adding sound to a loop.
With the Stack optional behavior turned off, 2 short (10 millisecond) volume ramps are added to
the loop at its boundary. This the point where the loop’s end is joined to its beginning. This is done
to avoid clicks and pops that can occur, and it works great.
But if you want to record a smooth, continuous note or chord, like an organ, the volume dip can be
heard. It’s not a pop or a click, but it is noticeable. So what’s a drone enthusiast to do? Simply turn
on the Stack optional behavior. Doing this removes the volume ramps added during stacking.
Voila!Take your eBow in hand and create a smooth drooooooooooooooooooone..."

sounds very hopeful there!

Hello,

 

Yes it's nice to see you on the list. I'm also interested to learn about the "ambient" possibilities of the boomerang III.

 

from Todd Matthews:
"Set the optional stacking behavior so you can record seamless loops w/o volume ramps at the loop boundaries"

 

Can someone explain this a bit further? What is this special behavior? I would like to record seamless drones using an Ebow, is this really a seamless looping?

 

Xmas in approaching, The boomerang is on my wishlist as is a M9, time to make a choice, money is limited ;-)

 

Ben.

Hi Mike, good to have you here for a bit!

Ambient looping guitarist here. We haven't corresponded since I upgraded my original Boomerang many moons ago.

Sjaaks questions are pretty much mine also. I am looking forward to your report eagerly!

Hi Mike,
I'm an ambient looper and was quite happy when I heard about the
version 2 freestyle feature. I would like to know how feedback/decay
exactly works on the Rang III. From what I understand from the manual
and from Todd Matthews here on LD, is that you have a decay knob to
control feedback. My question: does decay work for each track
individually or does it only work in overdub/stack mode on  the
current track? Example: is it possible to set decay to 70% with track
1 in play mode causing a slow fade out of the track without adding new
audio to the loop itself? Or use track 2 to create a new loop at the
same time with decay on 50% for example?

Thanks!
