all this talk of "who's in charge of how fast we play?"....
I actually want the whole band to be able to slow down or speed up whenever it wants, and we've now got to the stage where the only thing that won't budge is the jam-man. the repeater is quite happy to alter tempo and will even have a stab at working it out for you.
so next session, I aim to feed the drums into the repeater and see if the clock that results is useable by anything else in our setup. (to stop the repeater recording the drums, I'll use the insert switching or some other trickery whenever it's in record).
if none of this works, I'll adapt something so that the drummer can tap-tempo into one of our korg electribe boxes.... anything that can turn a note-on-off into tap-temo information could be used with a trigger-pad in the vicinity of the sticksman....
failing all that, I've got a kahler human clock in my attic. anyone remember them?
duncan.
