Looper's Delight

| This is exactly the challenge I am tackling lately conceptually. Since my looping has been primarily based on narrative lyrical songs rather than text-less ambient textures (I'm trying to be descriptive, not making judgments), I'm trying to envision a way to create short, one-measure loops that can accompany vocal melodies similar to how an arranger keyboard uses "styles." If I created a one-measure loop based on a major chord, for example, I want to be able to transpose it to cover the I, IV, and V in a major key. Then, if I have a loop based on a minor chord, it could cover ii, iii, and vi in a major key. Then, I could step through the loops in sequence to follow the chord changes in a song, similar to how you can do with a vocal harmonizer such as the VoiceLive. And, as the building blocks for each one-measure loop, I'd love to be able to sample brief syllables like "bop", "dit", and vowels "oo" "ah", and be able to play those on a keyboard to help the loops evolve over time from more percussive effects to smoother, quieter ones, and vice versa. The shorter the loops get, and the smaller the audio chunks that I want to capture, though, the more it starts to feel like I need to use a sampler with an arpeggiator or a keyboard playing "styles" rather than a looper. I think some kind of combination of sampling, looping, and voice-to-MIDI will allow me to become the whole band and sing whatever song I want in my own a cappella style. Does this sound crazy? Is anybody doing this sort of thing? Would anyone like to partner with me to create such a looping system? "Join me and we will rule the galaxy together!" Moo-hoo-hah-hah-haaaah!!!
