Synths considered harmful (was Re: Using the Wind Synth tocontrol the Repeater)
I'm going to try out a proposition here. I wouldn't say I actually believe
it, but it's a mildly provocative thought and lord knows this list needs
provocation.
Synths are bad for looping.
Why?
As anyone who has been to a loopfest will report, odd noises and sonic
manipulation tend to be in abundance. Arguably, that's one of the things a
looper is good for.
Now, when people hear such noises, they probably just think "Oh. A
synthesizer."
Guitar synths make matters worse. If a guitar player is looking to expand
his or her tonal palette, a guitar synth will probably win out over a
looper.
