Sounds like taking a risk is a important part.
To "trust that it comes out right" is maybe similar to "calling the angel"

>What matters is the ability to play without conscious thought.

Right. But what does your conscious care about while this? Nothing?
I do not think so. You are aware of technical things of the stage,
reactions of the public... just not your composition, only the result of
it, is that it?

I tried to play without paying atention at all. Did not work. It takes
listening, better even admiration for what comes out, without egoistic
thinking.

>At this point, looping seems to be so cerebral that I'm not sure I'll
>be able to reach that level.  Discuss?

Is it? For me its the train into the zone!

For my sound, reverb is important, too.
Thats why they made the churches high in the middle age. Or do we react on
reverb because generations of monks sang in it and related the sound to...

Before looping I had the experiences with the zone, mostly solos I did not
remember after the concert. Listening to the tape I note that I only
remembered the bad parts and not the good ones. I still have that tendency.

But since looping, its much more conscious.

A friend (neither in love nor musician, just audience) once explained.
"when you start playing, its nothing, just some stupid notes. But then I
see the train coming, from far, and when its here, all is different and the
notes turn into music and we all get on the train"

So the operation of the machinery may be cerebral, but this maybe even
helps me to play without thinking about playing?
No, I think, once its really rolling, the operation of the machinery is
inconscious, too.
I remember to have touched a key by accident, like stumbling, and been
annoyed about "screwing up the loop" that very moment. Later when I
listened to the tape, I realized that it was the perfect step, so...

The thing might be the integration of the whole equipment. The volume pedal
can be operated in a "cerebral" way, but soon, it expresses automatically.

More thoughts. experiences?

Make your own. Its really simple and for a lower price you can do it
better, and according to your taste and needs, easily.

Kim gave a lot of explanations on the site, if its not enough, keep asking.

I second these rec's, Krush is very interesting. This might be a
stereotype, but I find his mixes to have a haiku quality: simple, spare,
with very few elements, but with a wonderful sense of internal balance and
completeness. I think Krush is kind of the opposite end of the spectrum
from DJ Spooky, whose mixes tend to be very complex and busy. The raps on
Meiso are detracting, even if they are better than the typical gangster
posturing. But that's what programmable CD-players are for.

Agreed, this record is a masterpiece, and an example of an entire approach
to music that was almost litigated out of existance. This was one of the
last great records made before all samples had to be cleared with the
original artists, another great example of this style is the Beastie Boys
2nd record, "Paul's Boutique", produced by the Dust Brothers. I read
somewhere that there was on the order of 2000 samples form vinyl on "Fear
of a Black Planet", and having to clear all them would have been
impossible. It's too bad, none of Public Enemy's or The Bomb Squad (PE's
producers) work since then have the density and complexity of Black Planet.
I don't want to start a debate about copyright issues, but I think that
it's a shame that the Bomb Squad's or the Dust Brothers' work, which
actively recontextualizes the samples they use, had to be held to the same
legal standard as that of lesser producers.

I too want to thank Greg.  Last week I contacted him via Email to get a 
manual for my Jamman.  I received it yesterday!  How refreshing it is to 
get such prompt response.  

I could contrast this with my 3 months of communications with another 
looper vendor that promised to send me some parts/documents, but I won't 
:-)

Were it not for the help and encouragement from Kim and Matthias I might 
have given up on my other looper by now (so frustrating seemed the 
problems, and the void of customer support from the maufacturer).  Well, 
it is hard to ignore the powerful features it has.

bret

Hi Looping People

I want to go into looping music. The 'Plex is a desirable machine (and I've
an old Echoplex from the 60's), but I fear the MIDI headache. I hate MIDI.
All my gear is pre-midi, I'm still using CV/gate, triggers, 24p clocks and
FSK code.

I'm looking for a simple and solid machine.

I own a PCM41 of which the delay is too short for true loops. An
interesting article in the Loopers-Delight pages mention a modification of
the Lexicon PCM42 which make it able to sync with a 24p clocks.

I you know more about, e-mail me.

Merci

if anyone else is planning on or has actually made a pedal, i'm planning on
making a combo floor pedal for my jamperson and vortex (my plex pedal works
fine but the lexicon pedals are flimsy).  i'm trying to track down some
solid, reasonably priced, industrial momentary pushbutton switches to use in
the thing.  since they need to be used for tapping tempos and such, the
action can't be too stiff.  if anyone has had any success in this endeavor
or can offer recommendations, let me know!

thanks

Hey Everyone!

Just thought I'd come out of the deep deep shadows to let everyone know
that Musician's Friend, who happen to have a ton of JamMen in stock, will
match the price of any other, including the $199.97 Guitar Center
price....quite neat, i think.

Anyway, maybe i'll throw my intro out soon, but thanks everyone for the
tons of great posts that made me decide to move up from my 2 sec. DD-5 to
the Jamman!

I'd also ask that you distinguish between "instrumental" and "vocal"
recordings, to the extent that this is possible.

I love this thread-- as one very new to the entire concept, I really
appreciate some guideposts. :-)

....I agree.  I try to practise other people's music at the moment, on the
pricniple of Adrian Belew's "You tend to improvise what you practise". 
Until recently I assumed that learning other people's stuff would "dilute
my inner voice" whereas what actually happenned was that my limited
vocabulary became dull and in-bred.  Now I try to cast my net wide, being
selective about what I learn - after all, it's going to show up in my
playing - to ensure that if I start playing from memory (ie learnt licks,
or habits) I have such a wide variety of licks that I don't repeat myself
too often.

I have listened to Matthias' tape - he's not joking!!!

As for looping to be to cerebral to get into "the zone", I don't think so. 
When I get into that frame of mind I stop thinking anyway.

Hi gang,

Just getting back from Europe and finding a huge number of postings in the last
week and change. Mostly very cool goings on. But I'd like to specifically
comment on Mr. Hogan. He is one of the great natural resources available to
Lexicon. He is knowledgeable, thorough, and a complete professional. I suspect
that his additions to this list are his own doings, and not as a result of
"policy" at Lexicon. After all (at least last I heard) Lexicon doesn't have a
policy regarding the internet. Or, more pointedly, has a policy of denial that
it is a useful and practical tool.

On a personal note: Hi Greg. Hope yer well. Maybe someday I'll get out to the
new office...

I love it when I start to hear out-of-context licks appear in my playing,
like putting renaissamce recorder peices over blues.

On the slightly different subject of Brazillian Ambient music, Dr. Eduardo
Miranda played ("diffused") here a couple of months ago.  I didn't really
connect to the music though - there was nothing to get hold of, just
random-sounding noises.

It's often said that language is the philosophy of the people who speak it
(or so I'm told).  My wife, a linguist, often talks to me of this.

Does anyone have the exact spec (generic part number - whatever) for the

Matthias stated:"
I really appreciate your extended answeres and kind posts, Greg!

For products that are out of production, or rather an abandoned product
line, I find Lexicons position remarkable, or do you do it out of a
personal interest?"

Matthias

Thanks for the kind comments, Matthias.  I take great pride in Lexicons 
products and our history.  You will notice that all of my postings are 
during business hours Eastern Standard Time.  Our official policy is that 
products are supported for at least five years after they were last shipped 
from our factory. We will always try to be as helpful as possible to anyone 
who owns any of our products as it's only common sense that if you satisfy 
your past customers they will remain to be future customers.  I try to 
respond in as timely manner as possible and I find it personally 
embarrassing that people are actually surprised when a phone call is 
returned.

Best regards,

Greg Hogan

Do you expect Lex to support the Jamman that way now ... will you still be
carrying the pedals for awhile?

"Pat Kirtley is a Taylor clinician and the 1995 figerstyle champion, not to 
mention an avid looper. He wastelling me all about Les Paul's early 
contributions to delay devices and Chet Atkins current forays into looping."

One of Chet Atkins current records is titled "Almost Alone" in which he has 
a track titled "JAMMAN" which was written with and played on a Lexicon 
JAMMAN.  Mr. Atkins actually called me and asked permission to use the 
title.  I did not have that heart to tell him that he did not need our 
permission and told him that we would be honored!

Hey, is that a published price?  I called musician's friend and they
said they were going for $350.00 and said that they needed a fax of GC
published price.  Anyone have the ad?

Thanks,

Trevor
