Funny how the > physical control instrument influence electronics that much . Thanks Per! Since I started with live looping 2-3 years ago I have mainly used natural sounding sounds like strings, piano, flutes, contra bass, guitar, ethnic sounds etc. I'm not so much into noise and stuff, I prefer more the organic sounds, creating atmospheres with tension, kind of cinematic feeling. The way I play technically depends on the genre: could be groovy when playing rhythmic world music or "keyboard-ish" when doing Ambient. I really like my 88-keys stage piano, because the balanced action of the keyboard allows you to play very dynamicly. Btw: this song has been played on keytar. That might become my main controller for the upcoming festivals; it's very compact midi controller, and it gives you good visibility on your pedals. Can't play piano on it though...looks pretty kinky too....hmmm...don't know yet :) My personal "EWI" is a breath controller I use in combination with a Yamaha VL-70 synth. This is monophonic physical modeling synth that can produce great flutes and brassy sounds. What midi parameters are you actually controlling with the EWI? I can only control 1 midi parameter, usually velocity, with my breath controller. If you use long attack and release times on the ADSR envelope of the "VCA" part, you could perhaps use more "keyboard-ish" (chords) sounds. Ever tried that? --- Sjaak http://www.livelooping.be/ http://www.overgaauw.be/ http://www.myspace.com/sjaakovergaauw
