To give you a quick crash course, every song is made up of a variety of notes, but the key, is a group of seven notes or chords that harmonically work really well together. Once I actually end up giving this set up a go I’ll report back here.ĮDIT: actually I still don’t think this would get me the results I’m after, because the dry signal would still be heard on it’s origin channel and duplicated through the Timefactor before hitting the other looper.Being able to recognise the key of a song is an extremely valuable musical skill which can take some time to develop.

Then I’d then have my dry kill plus the ability to save other Timefactor presets as input effects for a 1440 or whatever stereo looper I end up with.

Instead of potentially hacking an EHX 1440 to bits to add a dry kill switch I now have the idea of putting my Timefactor, which does have dry kill, directly before a 1440 and save a preset with 0msec of delay / zero feedback / full volume. My main goal for this kind of looper was for use on a stereo mixer send - which is why dry kill was a necessary priority on my list. But for someone like me who basically uses a looper as a real-time splicing space age tape machine with no quantization & an instrument played in real time (as opposed to sequenced), it’s something I wouldn’t be using too much in any case.Īhh I love the control layout on this, and the thought of looping with modulation applied to the loop buffer is quite an idea…īut I actually just had a different idea about this last night. The obvious omission mentioned before is that you don’t get MIDI control / sync at all, and can only use the Loupé as an analog pulse clock master (or MIDI clock master via a converter) - not slave. I thought I’d need to make my own looper as well (perhaps develop something tailor-made for myself in Norns and get an USB footswitch controller), but this makes so much sense and is so much fun that I don’t think I need to any time soon. It’s a surprisingly big pedal, physically - not as wide as your Boss multitrack loopers etc., but is quite deep and looks hefty physically. Add the loop decay knob so you can do the “play new stuff on top as old stuff starts to fade out” type of thing, and there’s already money’s worth for me, so to say.

while playing, is so much fun that I’m starting to wonder why only a handful of loopers do this (I guess mainly EDP, Loupé, Poly Beebo’s looper mode which is also based on EDP, and various pieces of computer software?). insert new time and material anywhere, replace old material by erasing what’s playing, multiply or trim the old loop while possibly adding new material on top, etc. And I don’t use the quantizing features.īut the kind of workflow (apparently first used in EDP) where you can record, overdub and undo normally, but also eg. I still haven’t dug deeper into the readfx, aka the various ways to play and slice the loop, from reverse to various forms of pitch shifting, “single grain” stretching/scanning, and pseudo-random type effects, recording / resampling some of that, et cetera. Without going too far into gear fetishism, I’m glad I did - it’s a wonderful device ( for me), and has made me play an order of magnitude more than I usually have the time and energy for. Loupé availability is not very good due to the usual reason these days (component shortage / supply chain issues)… Hopped on the preorder that kept on getting pushed back, but luckily found an used one a few weeks ago.
