If you watched me on FaceBook Live the last couple of times,
and watched to the end, you would have seen me looping 4 bars of the tune and
building up 6 tracks of MIDI notes – one track for each string. Those MIDI notes are run through lots of
"smart" filters and devices and even a "groove template."
This is not only a "work-in-progress", it is an "instrument-in-progress" In episode 3, we went live with my first attempt with the MIDI looper
running 6 channels – one per string (and it didn't blow up). In
Episode 4, Joel took the helm at the iPad, played a little bit with the
synthesizer sounds and kicked in a beat, and I feel like that was a milestone,
too.
