Re: AES loopage

[Alex Stahl <alex@pixar.com>]

Hi Italo,

I believe I must have heard Scott play then, since I am pretty sure I 
met you at a previous show. I wish I could go to Paris next week.

I have done some work with realtime time compression while looping on 
a laptop, and so am very curious about the new Orville capabilities. 
I should have stuck around the booth to ask these questions, but 
perhaps you'll indulge me here...
On my H3000SE, the time compression requires a somewhat 
time-consuming analysis step for best results. Is this no longer 
required on a v3.0 orville? Moreover, is the delay memory and the 
sampler memory now truly the same?

My H3000, is about 13 years old now and shows its age, but I think of 
it like a vintage guitar. For many years it was really my main 
musical instrument (not to raise that thread again!). Now that there 
are finally more digital audio ins and outs available for the Orville 
as well, I may have to think more seriously about selling my car to 
buy one.

regards,

Alex S.
