Re: MIDI binding for BOSS RC-20XL emulation mode

It sounds interesting, though I'm not 100% familiar with the RC-20 button functions. What would you be controlling it with, and what exactly does the RC-20 do that SL doesn't? I'm using it more like an RC-50, with 3 loops at a time, but I have plenty of buttons to do what I want with it. Are you spe...

Re: Automatically setting loop length

You can load a .wav into it that's 8 measures of silence, and if you set the 8th/cycle value to 32, it should give you a good steady beat to record to.

Re: Building a foot controller... but not MIDI

Tell you what, you'd have a hard time making or finding buttons cheaper than I bought these... they were $0.85 each from SparkFun.com (since I bought more than 10). They're a little noisy, but shouldn't be a problem on a live stage. For everyone: I just upgraded the looper PC with spare parts I foun...

Re: Building a foot controller... but not MIDI

Okay, here's a quick video showing my current looping setup. I haven't even began to scratch the surface of what this can do, but here's a quick song using the new foot controller. I did notice after using 5 loops for several songs (without reloading the session) SooperLooper began to respond to inp...

Re: Continue recording to the end of cycle after pressing STOP.

This is already possible, you have to set "sync to" to "first loop", and on all the other loops make sure "sync" and "play sync" are checked (on). You can hit record any time, and it will start recording at the beginning of the first loop. Once it's recording,...

If Hydrogen doesn't show up in Jack, then you need to check it's preferences. Go to File -> Preferences and click the "Audio" tab. The driver might be set to "Auto" or "Alsa" but you need to change it to "Jack" and then apply (it will give an error if Jack isn...

Re: Lost connection to SooperLooper engine.

It's because the newer Linux kernels have IPv6 enabled by default. It likely did that after an update. I will keep an eye out for this when putting SL on newer Ubuntu computers.

Re: Building a foot controller... but not MIDI

Very cool! Is the responsiveness OK, going through as keyboard events? I ask because it isn't the most direct path... MIDI events talk directly to the SL engine short-circuiting any OSC, whereas the keyboard events go into the GUI, which then get sent out as OSC messages to the engine and processed...

I'm not 100% sure on the mac version of Jack. However, when you run Hydrogen, it should show up as another set of connections in JackPilot. Just click on the Hydrogen outputs and connect them to the SooperLooper inputs (same place your "capture" is connected to) and you should get Hydrogen...

Thanks, M! I'm hoping to get lots of use from it. To answer some of your questions: It cost about $75 total for parts. I already had the plastic sheets and screws, but you could use 1/2" plywood. The boards need to be about 2" apart for the buttons and wiring to fit inside. The button spac...

Re: Laptop Equipment Setup

Yes, it takes some practice to get the loop exactly the right length at first, but once you've got the first loop done, you can sync everything to that. I played around with tapping a drum beat as the first loop, it works well as long as you have a footswitch you can hit exactly on the beat to start...

What other features were you looking to do with it? Can you give us an ...

I've been working with learning the ins and outs of SL, and I have an old ART X-15 MIDI pedal I have tried using with it. The problem I have run into is that it doesn't recognize quick double-steps, which I've seen other users here report from other controllers as well. This makes the multiply funct...

Re: sooperlooper finds jack but slgui cannot

It looks like something is wrong initializing your Freebob drivers (Firewire). If you run sudo slgui, does it give you the same error? It might be a permissions issue with slgui. That's all I can think of off hand.

Don't forget, you can make SooperLooper use separate inputs/outputs per loop, so you could use a single instance, just route different FX to each loop as needed. In Preferences, make sure to put a check in the box for "Separate I/O Ports" which will make SL show separate inputs/outputs for...

There's no one-button function for this, but you can do it with simple up/down loop and record functions, assuming you have your loops set to sync to the first loop .

Re: Laptop Equipment Setup

It all depends on what you use as your sync source in SL. There's a few ways to make it happen, namely, you can have a 4-bar metronome click track and just load that into the first loop, and sync everything to that. This would be the most sure-fire way to do it as it doesn't rely on any other softwa...
