hardware you're using. I'm thinking about purchasing a device, I'd like
to know what's recommended by LAU's lusty live loopers. :)
I use sooperlooper with a Behringer FCB-1010. Like the
other guys, I'm really happy with it.
My typical live SL setup is two stereo loops with the dry
signal passing through clean. I control it like this:
* Expression pedal A: Loop 1 wet gain
* Expression pedal B: Loop 2 wet gain
* Pedals 1-5: Record, Overdub, Trigger,
Undo, and Mute the "current" loop.
* Pedal 6: select next loop.
* Pedal 7: Mute all loops / Panic.
All messages are sent using CC's (whether it needs a CC or
not). Note that ALL of the pedals have to be configured so
that expression pedals A and B do this.
There is Java-based editor for the FCB-1010, but it only
supports a customized firmware called "UNO". It is in many
ways superior to the Behringer firmware... and well-worth
the $14. However, I've been using the older, buggier,
factory firmware (v1.0) and it works just fine for me.
