Looping Pedals?

This is what I mean about syncing everything up - starting everything exactly is the issue.
Get a bassist & all these issues magically go away . . . or get the Moog Taurus I mentioned.

Considering how rare those Moog Tauruses seem to be, I can imagine that one of those is probably way out of my price range. I'm not even quite sure how it works. If I do go with anything, it'll probably be a bass pedal and maybe a Boss RC pedal or even more possibly a Line DL4. Basically rip off Liam Finn and get started. I'm sure we'll eventually start a band, but we're still trying to establish our own sound, and this kind of work will make us a little more unique than the average band (hopefully). I'm thinking hopefully that the majority of my songs would be able to work with one bass line which would be so much easier to work with. I'm just gonna have to go try everything out.

If it's a Moog, it'll cost more than your house.

I originally said something similar to the Taurus.
Roland does make a PK-5A midi-controller very similar to this.
Then just get a Sampler and some bass samples and you're set.
Fatar also makes MIDI Bass Pedal Board (MP113 & MP117).
Anything like this will give you the ability to play bass sounds with your feet.
Or as I said, you can program bass loops into a computer & trigger it via a midi pedal.

Pedal boards are so cool. I don't understand them for the life of me, but they are so cool.

Ring mod makes some funky sounds (mostly dissonant sounds). Mike Einziger from Incubus uses one on a few songs.

Low-Pass filter is essentially an envelope filter or "auto-wah" pedal.

Mike Einziger used them a LOT on Morning View, Make Yourself, and Crow Left of the Murder. I think PJ and Incubus are the biggest influences on my music.
