Re: Following Acoustic Musicians with Looper

Hi Per & all

the hints are really good. Seems like constantly tapping the BPM to catch 
up is not the wisest thing?

Let's look at these advices from the RC50 perpective:

With extra pedals, I can do that quite easily, since I have 3 loops 
available to switch back and forth.

> 2) I also keep one button to instantly retrigger the loop ("stutter").
Just figured out, that I can do that also in SINGLE MODE on the RC50, by 
pressing the Phrase pedal. That's really sweet!! :-)) I do get to use the 
single mode after all...

I get the idea. Currently, it "almost" works. I just can't get the damn 
thing to "multiply-record" without quantizing to initial loop tempo.

So, overall, the "stutter" function seems to help a lot. If I don't get 
tired stepping on the pedal on every count of "one". I can even keep the 
loop running with the wrong tempo and still start on time (assuming the 
group get's faster).

I had another trick in mind, but I don't know if it works:
Sort of slowing down, speeding up the loop until you are in sync with the 
group. Don't know if you just need practice to get there or if it is too 
difficult.

Was really surprised that Mobius doesn't play all these tricks..

Thanks
