Re: Quick Looperlative question

[Cara Quinn <Cara-Quinn@earthlink.net>]

   Mech, thanks very much.

   Needing to sift through the forum archives like that is a bit  
tedious, to say the least, when all one needs is a list, but I know  
you obviously didn't create that situation; :)  and again, I surely,  
very much appreciate the link pointing me in the right direction!  You  
ROCK!…

   Out of curiosity, which pitch shifter are you using?  I'm using a  
Digitech Studio Vocalist EX for pitch / timbre effects at the moment,  
with my EDP.

   Thanks very much for the response and hope you had a great weekend!…

Smiles,

Cara  :)
