iOS Device for Looping (ala Brecker)
Electronista had this article up about musician getting rid of all this effects pedals in favor of an iOS device.
British street performer and musician Dub FX says he’s considering getting rid of the range of effects pedals he usually uses — to loop his voice and other instruments in the process of creating his beatboxing-based songs — in favor of an iPhone, thanks to the recent release of Loopy v2. So enthusiastic is he about the program that he has posted an unpaid video tutorial for the app
Ok, this isn’t exactly a Michael Brecker using an iPad for looping…..but imagine if he were alive and had access to stuff like Dub FX has. Imagine what else he could have done with Song for Barry. Technology is amazing.
