Study Guide: Performance-Oriented Looping with the Blooper and MIDI Control

"Performance-oriented looping" is about making looping functions compatible with simultaneous instrumental playing. It also refers to the notion of treating the entire loop-creation process as an evolving, engaging musical display. This particular video is a Blooper "Study Guide:" a demonstration of looping concepts that are covered in more detail in other videos, which are linked to below. Here, we look at combining MIDI foot and hand control, along with the Blooper's own physical interface, towards the goal of looping as a dynamic and malleable performance process.
