Short rave loop

synpad-loops-0.rb

#Heard these chords somewhere on the way to work this morning, no idea what the tune was, sorry
# Anyway they gave me a bit of inspiration as I finished walking to the office, and I hacked this out
# in about 20 mins.
#
# play with the ixi/slicer fx phases, and the ixi res, and start up the bass + simple drums
#
# I found that if you wait/sleep at the end of the drum/bass loops, you'll miss the cue for the start
# of the bar, so that's why the final waits are commented out.  Also if you sync at the start, it'll
# again miss the cue and wait a whole bar.  Not sure best ways to resolve this -- just comment where
# they sync, I suppose.

# updated: phases longer than 4 require the chords be looped
# I tried putting the ixi_techno fx around the live_loop.  This works, but you can't then change the params and re-run:
# the child thread seems to inherit the fx and it's not being redefined because nothing within the :pads loop changes.
# so instead change the 2.times
