Re: quad looping

Stockhausen went as far as "Octophonic Looping" performed
live in a custom-equipped "theatre of the round" auditorium.
I've read that it was quite an experience - the added
dimension of motion giving a narrative power to the music.

Regarding Joystick control/panning, your best bet is a
CV-controlled X/Y mixer for your four inputs, and a joystick
controller. I'm not familiar with an off-the-shelf solution,
but there are modular synth manufacturers such as
MOTM www.synthtech.com who make modules that allow this
type of control over audio and voltage signals.

Basically, you want to set-up a four-quadrant control matrix.

Anyone else got experience with this?

Larry
