Re: What will become of the Repeater pitch stretching techology, I wonder

Per expounded:

But you
can't program that into your FCB (or other MIDI controller). What you
have to do is to select one Repeater Track and then send MIDI notes
into it. Then the Repeater will hang on to this MIDI channel's MIDI
Notes for instant pitching of this Track's loops. So you can't work
pitch in more than one track this way. But it's really fast. I had an
arpeggiator juggle the pitch like super fast house techno over a one
octave span and never ran into the portamento trap. I heard Bill
Walker doing this with a guitar that has a built-in MIDI arpeggiator,
very cool.

HUH Per,  You know
its a while since i programmed my FCB to do this, but i could have
sworn that I had programmed midi notes... this isnt possible??? Hmm I
will check when i get home, you are right that my FCB is "hardcoded" to
pitch only one specific track ( i know this cos I often forget which
track it is, make a loop on the wrong one - try and pitch it and
nothing happens DOH!) But Im sure I didnt programme CC´s for it.. But
you are probably right.. But surely my analog sequencer (fat
controller)is sending out midi notes right??? And that still slides...

But now you have me wondering, I must think of an excuse to leave the office early.. 
The
Horse has escaped... um ... wife taken ill... child  electrocuted by
musical equipment (my wifes big fear - quite right too, Iv been shocked
many times!!! ha ha ) 

Wait a minute ... Im the Boss, I can leave when I fucking like!!
