Loved this review! I have the 1440, and I was initially startled by the overdub volume drop. I thought, no way that's a mandatory thing. It's not! I did some manual diving and found out it's a feature of a knob, not a forced bug. Here's the line from your manual: Move the TRACK 1 Fader to 100%. When in Overdub mode, the track’s volume slider acts like a Feedback control on a delay pedal. For example, if the TRACK 1 slider is set to 50%, each time the loop cycles, the volume of the previ- ously recorded audio on TRACK 1 will be halved. So, maybe try recording your loops with the faders at 100% and see if the volume drops!
@colinscottpayton Жыл бұрын
Ohhhh, and here's another line regarding those faders: The 4 track faders serve a dual purpose: during Playback they are the volume control for each track, during Overdubbing they act like a Feedback control as seen on a delay effect. So when you are Overdubbing, the level of the previously record-ed audio on the active track is multiplied by the position of the track’s fader. If the fader is set to 100%, the previously recorded audio will remain at the volume it was recorded at. If the fader is set anywhere below 100%, with each pass of the loop, the volume of the previously recorded audio will attenu- ate according to the setting of the fader. Using this function, it is possible to use the 45000 as a very long delay pedal.

Hello! It is great loop station, congratulations! I have got the similar one, 2880. If you hold your faders in 0 (max up), your layers on overdub will be loud as they recorded. It depends on fader's position, if you put it down your previous layers will be deleted on selected track.

@katie_marie_music10 ай бұрын
You should be able to add files to the folder on your SD card and then play them through the 48000 🤔Sorry it's not been working for you, the only reason I can think of is the sample / bit rate isn't compatible, otherwise I'm not sure why it wouldn't work.
@findmads10 ай бұрын
thank you for taking the time to answer. I did find the only solution to this problem, but unfortunately its not simplistic, but it works. If you want to import a track to your SD-card you need to do as follows: I use Audacity (its free).1. Convert your track of choice to a stereo wav-file , in 16 bit 44.1, and name it TRACKM. 2.then record a silent two min track or longer, but in mono, also 16 bit 44.1 and make 4 copies, they have to be exactly equal in length (this part you only have to do once). 3.Then name them TRACK1,TRACK2,TRACK3,TRACK4. 4. Open the tempo.txt file in the LOOP-folder and change the record tempo to match your TRACKM and save (leave the last play tempo). 5. Drag all 5 files into the SD folder to replace the existing files, leave the tempo.txt (but adjust the record tempo) and you are good to go. 6.Make a copy of your LOOP-folder and then you only have to drag a new TRACKM into this from now on. Its really nice to practice over your own drum tracks or your own arrangements and definitely worth the struggle:) Happy looping and best regards from Copenhagen!

Great review! I've been meaning to get one for the past month or so, this definitely tips me in that direction. One question: with the footswitch stores individual loops or a set of four loops for each track channel ? So in theory I can record different parts of a song and just switch between them? if that's the case that seems to be a really fun compositional tool

In 20 minutes I realized this thing is a dinosaur of a looper. Complicated and inconvenient.

@@DragDealer Ahhh, yes it probably does suck for what you're trying to do :) The looper was originally released in 2013 (I think) and is intended to be an updated version of the earlier 2880, so it does lean heavily into those analog vibes, which I completely appreciate isn't everyone's cup of tea. People who I know that play sounds through it generally have pads or a single sound on a channel and then play over that in live situations. Sorry it didn't work out for you.

Hey James! I completely agree, for the money you can definitely get something with a lot more features that is much better value. I personally love the analog vibes and always wanted a 2880, which is what this looper is modelled on. I know many people love having a quantize option but personally it doesn't bother me, as prior to this looper I had an Akia E2 Headrush which doesn't quantize at all, so I'm actually ok with that.

I completely agree! I didn't like that either, but the other loopers I've used previously also only had jack outputs....if you were using this for recording instead of live applications it would need an XLR out for sure, but in live situations it's not been an issue. But I agree with you, I too would've preferred both an XLR input and output.
