Re: Controlling nextloop on EDP

[marcus kirby <marcusloops@gmail.com>]

If I could access each loop by a switch, that would be close to what I'm talking about. Each loop has a trigger value, yeah? If I have two edps, I don't see why I couldn't just keep triggering particular loops and then overdubbing if I need.

I think I just need to step up to an lp1, or see if the octatrack can do what I'm thinking off.

Didnt we just go thru all that just recently.. EDP is not that kind of beast... it IS a beast tho... But yes... you can access each loop by a switch I think... Isbt that what Amy X did at SantaCruz? Sample style etc??? Not sure that many use that function...

NOOOOOO :(

I think I might just give up on trying to get multi-track, controllable loops from the EDP.

I essentially want to do live composition. Build up the layers, then have control over each of them (fade in/out, mute, combine with other loops).

Anything that sends MIDI notes or #CCs can be used to control an EDP.
Best is to use note numbers for looping actions and #CCs for
continuous parameters like volume and feedback.

Not sure but I don't think so. You can only hear one loop at a time so
it wouldn't make much sense.

Do you mean fading out a loop that is not playing? I don't think so.

Well, the only thing I can think of that for an EDP would be to fade
down the volume towards the end of a loop and then switch to a new
loop and fade it back in with that loop spinning.

Bizarre - there can only be one next loop! As only one of the loops in
memory can play back at any given time it is well enough with just one
NextLoop button.
