I bought a lot of music gear recently and this is the result.
The best purchase was the Roland RC-50 Loop Station. It's a no frills flash based loop recorder. It has 3 loops per preset with 99 presets and over 40 minutes recording time. It is operated through foot switches largely and so it's marketed to guitarists but this could be used for anything. I find it perfect for building a choir with many overdubs which I did at the end of this composition.
I didn't use 2D warper but I used SIR there on some wind patch in the modular. The wind sound used a lot of high frequency which hurt my ears and SIR usually muffles the sound a lot. Thanks!
