MIDI LOOPER

The MIDI LOOPER serves as the automated helping hand for the electric piano, synthesizer or accordion player. It helps to perform live sessions as well as to produce complex melodies.
To play accurately to the beat and to record a perfectly played note sequence is a challenge, not only for beginners but also for professionals. By using the MIDI Looper the musician can record a MIDI not sequence and quantize note patterns dynamically. The high polyphony allows complex melodic and tonal variations by parallel processing of MIDI note and controller data. By using an additional foot switch, the musician can entirely concentrate on playing the instrument with both hands.


Features
- Recording and simultaneous playback of MIDI music notes as well as MIDI Controller data
- Visual feedback at recordings and playbacks (display of music notes activities and clock speed)
- 4 independent operable tracks with individual length (1…64 bars)
- Record of up to 1000 music notes and 1000 controller values (maximum 250 music notes + 250 controller values per track)
- 64 times polyphony
- Quantization of note positions during play is adjustable every time (Steps: 1/96, 1/32, 1/24, 1/16, 1/12, 1/8, 1/6, 1/4 beat)
- Clock speed is adjustable at every time (60…210bpm)
- Output of MIDI Clock via MIDI OUT and USB as MIDI Clock Master (configuration of time base = "internal“)
- Can be synchronized to MIDI Clock via MIDI IN and USB as MIDI Clock Slave (configuration of time base = "external MIDI“ or "external USB“)
