Rearranged some things yesterday so I could put together a focused looping system.
I’ve based it around the idea of a 3 head tape machine. The Reflex Liveloop acts like the tape, since it varies the sample rate when changing speeds and produces that nice repitching warble, and I’m using the Disting’s triangle to sine shaper, a lowpass, and Tallin’s asymmetric overdrive to help simulate a tape sound. Then the signal is passed along to the D0 which acts like two additional playback heads. It’s mostly a hands-on performance system as the only real modulator here is Batumi. I wanted to set something up with a very narrow function set and just dedicate a week or so to recording things with it.
First recording session this morning went well! Looping and mangling samples from one of Claude Debussy’s Preludes.
