SoftStep 2 versus FCB1010 for controlling loops in Loopy Pro

[@59teleman]

Love learning about your setups Markus. You are the Jedi of street performance🤙

[@jeffelliott689]

Glad you have a easier device to travel with that works well for you. Haven't a clue how any of this works but sure glad you've mastered them an you share your music here on utube. Time to get funky an jam!

[@Isaacthompson]

Thanks for the comparison!

Hello Markus, I would be really interested to know how the whole looper thing works. If it's raining outside and you can't play, you could make a video about how to do it. I think it would be really great. Otherwise keep it up, it's really great.

[@MarkusK.]

This a video about my setup. Have a look and let me know if you have any questions? There are also many videos about looping in general and Loopy Pro in particular kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHfdoZWGZ9qnaKs

[@scottykingdavid]

Oh geez i. Asking questions on other videos and heres the looper and its explanation.. thabk you friend for putting this up

[@utropiks4617]

Thanks for the video! But how is the connection to the iPad and Loopy Pro works? and what midi adapter or hub would I need to connect the Beringuer Fcb1010 on the IPad lightning input? Sorry I’m very new on this and any help would be very much appreciated 🙏🏽☺️

[@MarkusK.]

You need a powered hub to connect everything to the lighting input of the iPad

[@utropiks4617]

@@MarkusK. I mean the midi connector cable to the iPad and loopy pro

[@MarkusK.]

@@utropiks4617 the connection is from the usb hub, usb to lighting

Very helpful markus. Thank you!

[@Stevesoffthecouch]

That's great. Looking forward to seeing it in action!Thx

[@MarkusK.]

Might try it out on the street today :)

[@Bluewaterboy]

Very Cool Markus! I’d be interested to know what each button controls? Are you triggering any sounds or just starting and stopping loops and rec?

[@MarkusK.]

Yes, just controlling the individual loops

[@byroncjohnston1]

Markus: I'm a singer-guitar player. I'm looking for a midi foot pedal that I can generate base runs. For example, if I'm playing a song in the key of "C" I want to be able to press a button and get a "C" base arpeggio. Then press another Key And get an "F" arpeggio, then a "G" Then an "Am", etc. Will the soft step 2 or the FCB1010 do this for me? Thank you for your response

[@MarkusK.]

They are just MIDI controllers

[@klovit2371]

Thanks for your video. Good update. How you connect the stuff together? I mean audio interface + iPad + foot controller.

[@MarkusK.]

Via a USB hub

[@macshock632]

Interesting. Thank you for sharing. May I ask what you use for your guitar sounds?

[@MarkusK.]

At the moment, I use a free app called Crunk by Nembrini, with a free delay in the Music Box suite

[@macshock632]

@@MarkusK. thank you. You are truly inspiring.

[@sevalmi8681]

Hi Markus, what music box do you mean?

Haganos una demostració por favor de l'equip.........eres impresionante. Saludos desde Barcelona 😂😂

Hey markus, thank you so much for being on the streets and sharing your knowledge. I am about to switch from hardware-loopers (4x Jamman express) to software looping. With the softstep it's not only going to be unlimited, but also more lightweight, what means a lot to me, cause i am traveling by bike. Now i am wondering how to configure the softstep, cause afaik kmi doesn't offer a softstep Editor for ios. Can you recommend an app for configuration or did you use a mac/pc for that? Wishing you no more trouble with any policepeople (cause of being amplified ;) 3:51 3:51

[@MarkusK.]

I didn’t use an editor, just midi learn. But I hear mcmillen have a good editor

[@McJackArt]

Thanks for your videos. I'm a fan. Can you also explain to us how you hit the streets? Do you get permits or do you just find a place to play? Thanks.

[@MarkusK.]

I travel around and play when I feel like it. I try to pick a spot where I don’t think anyone will mind. Sometimes, I get it wrong, but that’s fine. I go somewhere else.

[@Maria_KL]

​@@MarkusK. Have you ever performed in Finland? 🇫🇮 May I ask, where your name Markus comes from? We in Finland have the same name written with the letter K 👍😊🤔. All the best in your life path and I hope I can listen your music for a long time... ✨✨

[@MarkusK.]

@@Maria_KL I was born in Holland. My passport shows Marcus but I prefer with a K. I haven't played in Finland yet but I am a big fan of your comedian guy! What's his name?

Greetings Marcus!! Is there any app that you've used to configure the FCB1010 to control presets for Loopy Pro. Thanks :)

[@MarkusK.]

I didn’t need any app. MIDI learn in Loopy Pro worked fine

[@colinmorgan6733]

I've got a SoftStep 2, it's very configurable. Still have my old FCB1010 with the UnO firmware but don't use it anymore.

[@MarkusK.]

Are you using up and down etc?

[@colinmorgan6733]

@@MarkusK. Yes, I have had it for about 2 years and programmed a couple of presets using the Advanced Editor. I use it in Cantabile for creating ideas or having fun, and Cubase when writing pieces. I also have the QuNeo and BopPad.

[@MarkusK.]

@@colinmorgan6733 How are you finding the boppad? I think they are upgrading at the moment, but I love the idea of it. Do you think I could program the softstep to trigger various loops from the dame button, pressing left, right etc?

[@georgefenning4844]

any issues with accuracy using the smaller sofstep keys ?

[@MarkusK.]

The softstep doesn’t mistrigger

[@VersusDim]

So, did you completely abandon the old pedal board?

[@MarkusK.]

Yes, it’s gathering dust 🙂
