Hey All – Since this is ground zero for loop
terminology, I was hoping to implore you all for some advice with phrasing –
and of course, to get a shameless plug out of the whole thing. Here is a list of the functions for my
program …. I am never sure how clearly these are communicated, so I was
wondering which of them cause confusion (especially for the more novice
loopers, who may not have run into such terminology). The parentheticals below indicate alternate
verbiage …. Used by either boomerang or RC-20/50 in most cases. Also, I usually say “loops” or
“loop tracks” where some (mobius) users would say just “tracks”
…… Anyway …… which of these
functions make/don’t make sense in terms of communicating the
functions? Any suggestions for alternate verbiage or questions about
meaning are welcome. Is it clear what the program does to the
(especially novice) user, or are there better ways to phrase things ?? Thanks in advance, Aaron ……………………………………..
post ………………………………. Here is a quick breakdown of the
functions, please note that all functions can be done immediately and on the fly
without stopping playback. Basic Functions: - Record independent loop of differing
lengths, synced or not - Stack (layer/overdub) infinitely on any
of the loop tracks, with or without decay - Stop any loop playback immediately or at
the next master loop repeat - Stutter (One-Shot) - Record a B side compliment which plays
serially to any of the 5 primary loops - Transition any loop seamlessly from it's
A to B side Advanced Functions: - Consolidate multiple loops into a single
loop - Multiply, Add (append), or Overwrite any
loop - Change which loop is the master - Stop or Stutter all loops together, or
some group of loops - Crossfade between two groups of loops - Scratch a group of loops as if on a
turntable - Shift the frequency (speed and pitch
together, then) of a loop or group of loops Recording: - Load or Save loops as wav files - Record a live session including all
playing loops and incoming audio (solos, etc.) - Map any midi command to any function
with a simple midi learn function Coming Soon: - VST compliance see www.flyloops.com for screenshot, video
demos, and free download. Thanks, Aaron -- -- |
