Re: Least Costly Live Looping Solution



Mark, you know what you might be looking for is a Digitech 7.6 sec Time Machine or RDS Time Machine. I had the 7.6 sec original and they are CV pulse synced and sweepable with a cv pedal fantastic warping to be had cheap sometimes. I have seen them on ebay.

SMM w/Hazari ...

Id forgotton that... Hmmm.. really like the look of them actually... have you tried them/got one? can it sync to anything.. anyhow? Im looking for a looper or echo machine (cheeeeeep) that is triggered (or rather RE-triggered ) via a pulse. its not really for my looping setup actually, its for my modular synth setup.. (whole other life, list and friends)

That may well be the case, Mark, but if that was his point, he didn't
say so (see the subject of this discussion). My last post in this
thread specifically targeted his statement that (paraphrasing here)
you need to spend $700 to be able to run a decent software looper.

You are right (as I also pointed out) that the zero dollar computer
solution requires a lot of time and effort which a) may be more than
$700 worth, e.g. if you're making $400 a day, b) may be beyond the
intellectual capabilities of some and c) may be more than they are
willing to invest before they already are hooked.

So yes, you're right, the relatively cheap stompbox is the thing to
get somebody hooked (not the zero dollar computer with Mobius), and
again, I'd recommand the SMM w/Hazari over the Boss RC-2, even if it
is €35 more (quoting German street prices), for the following reasons:
a) varispeed (from half to double), b) reverse loop, c) feedback
control.
