Greetings,
I'm working on an article that profiles the loopers and arpeggiators
available for Linux. I'm currently having too much fun with
SooperLooper, driving it with an external sequencer. Very cool stuff,
but I'd like to test it with a MIDI control board, so:
If anyone here is using SooperLooper or Freewheeling or Kluppe with a
MIDI foot controller (or any MIDI controller), please let me know what
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've just bought one, so I'm really scratching the surface now. It's a
(used) Proel MS-16, 16 pedals basically sending MIDI program changes. It
works really well and seems built like a tank. Paid 80 eur.
I heard good things of the behringer FCB1010 but I never tried one. On
the good side is the absence of a power adapter, you plug just the power
cable into it. And it also has two pedals that send continuous
controllers. It's a bit more expensive (around 170 eur new, 100/120 used)
Really, SooperLooper is just too cool. I'll have
to make an effort to
try anything else.
Agreed, sooperlooper is fantastic :)
Kudos to Jesse
Best,

ciao
