Also, you could use the EHX 2880 and do almost the same thing but only four channels but full complete midi control of the looper available. More audio mangling with LP1 and not sure about outs on the 2880 Andy Owens 1-800-AndyOwens Sent from my iPhone So the typing might not be my best!
Hi John, cool rig idea. I do exactly what you have described with an Looperlative LP1, a midibuddy pedal, a novation work surface with two octave keyboard and a small mixer.
If you go that route I can send you my setups too and that will save you about two years work!! Andy Owens 1-800-AndyOwens Sent from my iPhone So the typing might not be my best!
Hello All, I am very new to this forum and page and I find it
absolutely fascinating. It seems like there are some great musicians
and very creative people here and I am very happy to have found it.
My last studio project was called La Brea and used a very loop based
approach, although it was done in the studio. It was a lush, richly
textural, building and rather cinematic type musical project. Songs
are on myspace at www.myspace.com/labreaband and if you like it I will
send you the album free, just shoot me an email. After that, I took a
brake from music and worked on my other passion which is photography.
I have become very interested in working on music again and in the
live looping approach but until I found this site I did not know that
many people were doing this besides a few people. I know next to
nothing about how a looping set up works and have been reading about
different types of gear such as the echoplex, ableton live, etc. I
have the large boss loop station (RC-50) but that will hardly be the
solution to what I would like to do. All of this is overwhelming and
exciting and I was hoping that based on a brief description of my
goals, some of you more experienced loopers could at least point me
in the right direction to get me started making live loop based music.
First, I would like to use a range of instruments (guitar, synth,
iphone, chaos pad, drum machines, glockenspiel, whatever) and have the
ability to pick up an instrument, record a loop, put it down, pick up
another instrument and so on.2nd, I need to be able to synch all of
these loops to a set BPM while maintaining the ability for a loop to
have its own type of rotation (meaning one loop going for 4 measures
of 4, one going for 7, one for 3, etc. all simultaneously). 3Rd, I
would like to be able to adjust the volumes of each loop separately
after I play it. 4Th, I would like to be able to have each loop sent
to a different output device (one to a bass cab, another to a guitar
amp and so on). This requires that the loops be isolated and that the
system has enough outputs. I would also like to be able to use foot
pedals to trigger loops. If anyone has even just rudimentary ideas of
how this could be accomplished I would be so extremely grateful. I
don't just want to mooch off of your hard earned knowledge but I want
to get started making music and experimenting with this stuff and be
able to share my music and things that I learn with this amazing
community. If anyone could help me that would be really wonderful.
Thanks very much.
Best,
John
