Re: Advice sought - unbroken, seamless loops
Hello -
I saw Robert Fripp do something similar with harmonized delay here in
Memphis a few weeks ago with an Eventide (He had four Eventide
devices, two were H4000s, but I couldn't get a glimpse of the other
two).
I have to de-lurk and go out on a limb here as well. Being one of the
few wind players here, I can tell you the only device I've played
that delivers truly seamless loops is the old Lexicon JamMan. With
flutes, playing long, sustained notes and building up chords and
pads, every other device I've tried does indeed have a small bump at
the beginning of the loop. I haven't tried the Looperlative yet,
however.
I can see how a rhythmic instrument player, like a guitarist or
bassist might find this simply inane nit-picking, but at least for
the wind player, believe me, this little bump can be a major
aggravation. It's the main reason I'm still using Lexicon JamMans and
not something newer.
