Re: Another feature for my ideal EDP wishlist

Ahhhhh yes the EDP wish list
I recieved this from a french programmer looper who has been working on a
piece of software (and finished it) to address some of the edp's
limitations. 
This is what he said.
..............
We used it for a show 2 weeks ago with no problem.

It can work on a G4 800 mhz with something like 1go ram.

It run on os X.

The user can record, overdub, multiply, copy current loop in other
loop, mute and this with three different loops.

there's also an auto-fade function for long fade in or long fade out
(one loop length max...).

You can access to the different loops with next-loop, one clic for
next-loop at the end of the loop and two clics for an immediate change
of loop.

It is possible to use two loops in row and then if you do next-loop,
you go from A to B and B to A, or you can use it with the three loops
in row, at each next-loop you go to the next loop : A B C A B C, etc...

You can also access directly from A to C for example with the C key :
One clic to change at the end of the current loop and two clics to
change immediately...

In the preferences, it is possible to choose the number of buffers per
loop, ten max and the loop length with no limit (except your ram's
limit !!-)...).

As every overdub is recorded  in a different buffer, you can undo step
by step... You can route the outputs with a matrix to each of you
soundcard outputs.
You can also mute one or more voice or solo it...

And lot of other features...
.......................
He has basically created this to bypass the performance limitations of the
edp. It sounds very cool, I am hoping he lets me have a look at it soon....
Hopefull
Geoff

p.s. my biggest personal wish is that the edp gets a new front panel as its
existing one is outdated for the amount of parameters u need to access
regularly. Ahh well midi control it is.
