Re: Directness in Simplicity

[Mark Hamburg <mark@grubmah.com>]

Before my current trend toward real looping minimalism (i.e., just use the 
loop as a background), I was working for a while with a single base loop 
that would often see little evolution and a second synchronized (though 
possibly longer) loop that would often be set at feedback = 0 so that it 
just gave me one repeat of what I was playing. For base cycle loops, if I 
did evolve them on the EDP, I liked to use NextLoop so that then I could 
revert back to the original cycle. This makes the Revert-to-original 
feature on the TimeLine look attractive. As I write this up, I start 
thinking that it would be interesting to have the second long delay (more 
so than loop the way I'm using it) come early in the signal flow and run 
through an independent effects chain. That way the duet I played with 
myself would be more of a duet. That would take a looper supporting a 100% 
wet output.
