Re: Sequencer for Roland Handsonic 10 -- Hardware Drum Looper Recommedations
I've been following your questions being I have the same thoughts
as a similar approach. I have Ableton/Powerbook setup and it does
everything
but I rather go hardware as of yet. So now, after owning a few loopers and
research, nothing has quite come to par with my Echoplex. That is a must
to start. Second, I side towards a seperate drum trigger/module perhaps
and keep that seperated from the EDP looping, but have it synced to the
EDP,
This enables me better control through my mains/front speakers for the
drums which is important to me. Loop everything else through the EDP.
