Re: Lost connection to SooperLooper engine.

4250 — 2010-09-08T06:07:29-07:00

It's because the newer Linux kernels have IPv6 enabled by default. It likely did that after an update. I will keep an eye out for this when putting SL on newer Ubuntu computers.

The above worked for me; any notion of why that line was written into my hosts file? The only change I've made was updates... narrows it down to, ha; twenty or thirty things, right
Thank you so much,

Re: Building a foot controller... but not MIDI

First off, I want to thank you, Jesse, for writing this awesome piece of software. I'm looking forward to future versions, and I do plan on using it in live performances. I'm running it on Ubuntu Studio. The first paying gig I do with it, I will be sure to donate.

As long as SooperLooper is in the foreground, it worksexactly like pressing keys on the keyboard, and the Ultimarc board is nice in that it registers many presses simultaneously (independant switch inputs, not scanned like a keyboard) and also uses low-level interrupts... there is zero latency, as far as I can tell. I really wanted to use MIDI events for the pedal, but the cheapest DIY midi controller board was twice as expensive as the Ultimarc. I figured if it didn't work well, I could still make an arcade cabinet with it. Since it works well for arcade button-mashers, I figured it would be perfect for looping, and so far, I'm totally satisfied.

The cool thing about using a keyboard interface is that I can load loops with my feet... this is valuable for live songs sets where one song flows into another. I can play guitar through the end of a song, and while I'm doing a key/tempo transition, I can load a new drum loop with my feet, and kick off the new song without stopping.

As soon as I get the time and space to set up my entire stage rig, I will put up some videos...

Re: Newbie question: how do I loop internal sounds?

4250 — 2010-09-06T15:30:35-07:00

I'm not 100% sure on the mac version of Jack. However, when you run Hydrogen, it should show up as another set of connections in JackPilot. Just click on the Hydrogen outputs and connect them to the SooperLooper inputs (same place your "capture" is connected to) and you should get Hydrogen audio running through SL. Once you've done that, you can loop it just like any other input.

Newbie question: how do I loop internal sounds?

4285 — 2010-09-06T15:15:36-07:00

Hey all!

I'm a complete Newbie and just have a (probably) very simple question! How do I record "internal" sounds in SooperLooper? I downloaded Jack, and SooperLooper and connected them like I was told to here: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmKHXUFDPjQ&feature=related".

How do I record, for example, Hydrogen sounds in SooperLooper? An attached Mic records just fine in SooperLooper - but internal sounds (don't even know if you call them that) - don't.

Would be amazing, if you could help me, am really stumbling here!

Best,

Rob

Re: Building a foot controller... but not MIDI

4250 — 2010-09-05T13:15:31-07:00

Thanks, M! I'm hoping to get lots of use from it.

To answer some of your questions:

It cost about $75 total for parts. I already had the plastic sheets and screws, but you could use 1/2" plywood.
The boards need to be about 2" apart for the buttons and wiring to fit inside.
The button spacing is the same as my X-15, it works well, so I just copied the spacing.
Buttons left-to-right are 2.5" (63mm) center to center.
Buttons top-to-bottom are 3.5" (88mm) center to center.
Total board size is 21" x 10" (48cm x 25.2cm) and there is room for 2 more buttons.

I finished the wiring this morning, then I programmed the buttons and tested it. It works perfectly!

Re: Building a foot controller... but not MIDI

4223 — 2010-09-05T09:33:23-07:00

hello JeffHendricks,

start to look good!

overall,without calculating your time, it will have cost you around 100$ ?

i'm interest in that, cost less than the MIDI FOOT CONTROLLER FCB1010,

when you have finished it, could you tell if the space you've put in between the button are enough and what was the length ? please

seems' like 2" or 3", just like your ART X-15 MIDI, wondering if it's enough ?

anyway, keep up the good work and share everything about it, (like send it by mail to me when you're done, i'll pay the extra cost

have a nice week!

Well, I got a lot of work done on this today. I took two pieces of lexan and bolted them together 2" apart. Here's some pics of it coming together.

Re: Laptop Equipment Setup

4250 — 2010-09-01T13:12:38-07:00

Yes, it takes some practice to get the loop exactly the right length at first, but once you've got the first loop done, you can sync everything to that.

I played around with tapping a drum beat as the first loop, it works well as long as you have a footswitch you can hit exactly on the beat to start/stop recording.

Getting it right every time will take some practice, but the easiest way to start is syncing everything to the first loop, and set all loops to sync commands as well.

Re: Building a foot controller... but not MIDI

4250 — 2010-09-01T09:20:45-07:00

Well, I got the buttons and controller in the mail, working on building a foot platform for everything. I will try to have some pictures up this week. Total cost for the parts was less than $75 (US), and that's with 20 buttons. If you don't plan on using anything except buttons, this setup looks like it will work great. I'm looking forward to getting it wired up and testing it out!

Re: SIMPLE and USEFUL. Selected loop more evident.

4250 — 2010-08-29T07:12:56-07:00

This is a fantastic idea, can't wait to see it implemented.

Cool I just got into it, is quite a wonderfull program. I realised you can save with audio data and then use the wav files in a sequencer or whatnot. Renoise and its new rubberband tool and autosample thingy makes an ideal remix setup so will rephrase that to......
Save all current audio loops without bringing up a menu - so autoname etc

Re: How to manually set loop length?

4176 — 2010-08-25T11:22:37-07:00

You can use syncronise to do this. Just tell sooperlooper to sync cycles and then tell loop2 to work syncronised.

Re: Inbuilt multitrack recording?

4250 — 2010-08-24T13:08:33-07:00

Well, the idea behind SooperLooper was to emulate an Echoplex and add some features, but you can set it to have individual inputs/outputs in Jack, so you can route as many inputs to loops as you have hardware inputs and RAM for. What other features were you looking to do with it? Can you give us an example? It might already be possible.
