Sunday Synth Jam: In this video, synthesist Chris Calcutt (-CALC-) performs with the new Novation Summit synthesizer and a looping pedal.

Here’s what he has to say about it:

“Summit can sound creamy if you want it to……

I took a punt on a super cheap and incredibly small looper pedal. It only cost £39, so I figured I’d give it a whirl.

Looping with Summit is fun… I was aiming for a more chilled, less harsh sound ;o). The Summit is recording into the Donner Tiny Looper, from an Aux on the mixing desk and the Compact A Phaser Clone is subtly twisting the loop before it heads out further into more space through a Strymon Big Sky.

The little mixer thingy next to the Compact A clone is a wonderful aux expander, built following a random idea in Poznan.

Huge thanks to Syntherjack for making a simple throw away comment an incredibly useful 1 in 4 out attenuated splitter.

The Super Smash button is just sitting there again in this video but believe me smashing in and out of loops is tons of fun too.”
