Freewheeling sports a really nice UI that is really nice while doing a live looping performance. Adding and triggering loops is pretty simple and makes it easy to do improvisation and whatnot. I really like freewheeling, but it's always been pretty unstable every time I've tried it. sooperlooper is a server (like jackd) that is designed for remote control. You can control it via OSC and MIDI. You have to set up your MIDI triggers, though (no predefined set). It supports some pretty sophisticated features on each loop (different sync options, triggering options, overdubbing, etc.). There is a GUI (slgui) that you can use to control it... but that is optional. The original idea of the sooperlooper is to mimic the Echoplex... and slgui bears all the ups and downs of a hardware-type interface. Because of the client/server design, many users use it on a 'headless' system for performances. <thinking_out_loud> Hmmmmm.... what if the fwheeling GUI were used to control sooperlooper.... </thinking_out_loud> Peace, Gabriel _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
