Re: ORGANIC programming and looping
Title:

In looping, obvious
techniques like replacing, overdubbing, changing loop lengths, etc. can help
a
piece from being terminally static. I also love the addition of random
or non-random addition of effects
and/or filtering to preexisting loops when I play or when I listen to others
playing. Boy, my kindgom for
the random filtering algorhythm that is in that pricey Lexicon unit that
Steve Lawson uses live.........it's so
cool because the rhythms constantly morph in a seemingly 'organic' way.
I've set up a patch in my Lexicon MPX-1 so that an LFO sweeps the frequency
of the EQ module (I think I just used a simple Lowpass filter) to add a nice
"random" filter sweep to my loops. I'll also use additional delay (also
in the MPX-1) to further randomize the filter sweeping. To my ears, the
result sounds more organic because it makes it more difficult to detect the
"loop around" point. Plus, it sounds cool!
