[PD] Layered loops: Delays or Arrays?

[matthew jones]

Where did this original mail come from??
I don't have it in my in-box........<confused>

Well there are many tools to do this.
Writing your own, I would use the xsample external collection from Thomas
Grill:
http://grrrr.org/ext/xsample/
(this can take care of those clicks at the start/end of loops).

Then there's Eric Skogens looping framework thing GYRE:
http://www.audionerd.com/projects/pd/gyre/

And lastly there's my very own loopsampler:
http://www.loopit.org/
(bear in mind the flash version uses MIDI for triggering and requires a
number of hard-to-find externals - write me if you have problems).

Regards,

Matt
