What you have described is not commonly refered to as a loop. It's just as simple as him with his hand on the keyboard playing a chord or whatever, using the pedal to sweep.

Polyeidus said:It's very similar to, for instance, when they play live, they don't sing the chant part of DWOT, they play it pre-recorded. You dig?

Feedback goes from low to high, not the reverse. At least harmonic feedback.
I still think it's a sitar emulated by an analog synth.

ProgMetalFan said:Actually... it IS a sitar. I read an interview with Michael Romeo in "Lamentations of the Flame Princess" a few years ago... Romeo said that the sitar sound produced at the beginning of "Egypt" is actually him playing a sitar. He admitted that he didn't really know how to play a sitar properly... so he just played it like a guitar... which is why it probably sounds different than the sitar music you are listening to...
