Re: AW: Posting my looping rig's specifications

Interesting topic.  I have to say, I built a patch for my max/msp system 
that allows me to click one button, and instantly every effect patch in my 
system gets moved to post-loop. However, I really don't use it that much. 
When I do use it, it is after I have layed some ambient loops down, I hit 
the post-loop button, and then I hit my special random effector button 
(another max patch I created). Basically, it randomly turns on one of my 
max/msp effect patches, applies it for 10 seconds, randomly selects 
another, 
then does this indefinitley. What I get is a nice overlap of effects.  I 
can 
walk away and listen to max create some interesting patterns, or play 
along 
with it. Other that this, the only effect that I use post-loop is reverb. 
I 
don't like looping reverb, but apply it afterwards as a finishing 
effect...same reverb applied to the overall loop mix.
