Re: New concept for looping control - extremely small and portable!
Brilliant. I'm all for the idea. Right now, my system is leaning toward
only
my MIDI Mouse pedal (one program button, and one preset up/down button) to
freeze random loop functionlity, random effect selection/morphing, and
random effect parameter manipulation. I can do this now with my laptop
keyboard, but doing it with the MIDI Mouse, will allow me to close the
laptop lid forever!
Ahhhh, if I can just get to the point to where I'm just playing my
instrument, yet reaping the benefits of computer technology. The best of
both worlds for me. I can't stand being a slave to my computer.
