to be clear the guitar is recorded and played back via the boss RC-5 looper not the KO2 - ko2 is doing the drums only and sending out sync the the looper pedal out of shot. i'm hoping at som point that the KO2 can have a firmware update where you can play the ko2 and sample into it at the same time.

[@tjguardino]

Yep that’s right. Under my desk is the Boss RC-5 and the HX Stomp. That would be reeeeally cool for a firmware update tho ⚡️

[@siddadood]

Sweet I just bought a ko2 off eBay was hoping to see guitar content with it. Hopefully the fader is ok on mine. What guitar looper do you have? And how did you record this? Into one track

[@tjguardino]

@@siddadood nice I think you’ll enjoy it! I use the Boss RC-5 with it and I sync the tempo via MIDI. I run 4 separate outputs into my recording software… Stereo for drums and then a mono output for guitar and a mono output for bass. I’ll try to do a video on my full setup sometime soon!

[@Jacklearuk]

Could you share a little bit more about how you’re using the KO-II please? I have one and record my guitar directly in order to sample/chop, or paired with my loop pedal - but never though to loop directly. Can you share how are you able to loop and overdub directly on device? P.S really liked this, lovely vibe. Great work!

[@tjguardino]

Hey thank you!! The KOII is just handling the drums, and it’s sending MIDI clock to a Boss RC-5 which is under my desk. So the looper stays perfectly in sync with my drums but it’s a different audio signal

[@Jacklearuk]

⁠@@tjguardino ah that makes total sense! Phew, I thought I’d missed something on the KO-II! Thank you for sharing, and keep making music!

[@kbl833]

Wow man… can you tell us a story about your beautiful musical background? 😊

[@tjguardino]

Thank you so much!!! I’ve been playing guitar for a long time but I also love hip hop.. always trying to blend the two!

[@DP-kh5sb]

Has the KO replaced your Maschine unit with the more convenient setup?

[@Sir0j]

I was wondering the same thing ! do you like the workflow of the KO ? in terms of your playing style (guitar / hip hop / lofi )

[@tjguardino]

I do like the workflow of the KO! I’m just trying to get away from a computer-based setup so I’ve been trying standalone grooveboxes. The KO is really cool but I’ll probably just end up going to my MPC for most stuff :)

[@tom76wawa]

Hi grate setup, how you sync midi?

[@tjguardino]

I’ll try to do a video on it! Short answer: connect a stereo aux cable from the MIDI out of the EP-133 into the MIDI In of the Boss RC-5 :)

[@tom76wawa]

Ok! So as I thought, you sync ep with looper. Cool!

[@frytor2240]

What beat machine is that?

[@tjguardino]

EP-133 by Teenage Engineering. Great groovebox!
