The one thing everyone likes about loops is that they are inspiring, but no one likes that the loop always sounds exactly the same every time it plays. On Chaos Designer Spectrasonics’ Persing notes, “Chaos Designer opens up a new world of possibilities compared to standard loop software. A Capture feature allows the spontaneous audio chaos patterns to be made into a MIDI file, dragged and dropped into the host sequencer, and played back again for further editing by the user. The results can be subtle or extreme by setting the simple to use controls. With simple controls, the user can introduce musical Chaos into the groove, which allows it to have constantly evolving variations- giving the impression that the audio grooves are improvising.
