eib halimski asked:
I've heard of 'midi clocking' that can sync multiple loopers but what
do i know, haven't tried any of them. sorry i'm not of any help.
having 2 units of echoplex (or more i think) is a much easier option
but costs a bit more
The new Looperalative LP-2 Mini Looper has robust Midi synchronization.
With two of them hooked up; whichever looper starts automatically
becomes the master for the other
and vice versa).
At a streetprice of $300 (USD), two of the units would probably much
cheaper than buying 2 used echoplexes.
On top of that, the fidelity is better, with creation of up to 8 loops
(stored immediately on an SD card),
addition of ≈ to the echoplexes 1/2 speed, 30 levels of undo, feedback
(with automatic
undo points set at every 15% reduction), and these additional added
features:
1) Half Speed (Double Speed at half bandwidth)
2) Quarter Speed (Quadruple Speed at quarter bandwidth - artifacty but
very hip for special effects)
3) Retrigger (one shot)
4) Retrigger (continuous)
5) Retrigger (random)
6) Replace
7) Quantized Replace (equivalent to SUS = SUB in the echoplex or
Q-Replace in the LP-1)
in these potential time signatures: 4/4 (8ths, 16ths, triplet 8ths,
triplet 16ths), 7/8, 9/8, 10/8 (5/4)
and the addition of 1/64ths for glitch effects)
My brother Bill has been triggering other LP-2s, his LP-1 and
simultaneously driving midi driven time
based effects (delays, modulations, panners, etc.) on his other effects
pedals (M-9, etc.) with great effect.
