Boss SL-2 Slicer: How to Be Advanced

Музыка

These are the 5 coolest things I think you can do with the Boss SL-2 Slicer pedal. Detailed settings for everything I play in the video are below. Stop motion animation and drone footage filmed by John Marty. Additional drone footage filmed by Best Frenemies. Thank you to noclip.website for a lot of the video game footage.

    Dear friends at Boss this sounds amazing. Can you pleassseeee make the presets available by midi program change and the controls by midi CC? This would make it a viable option for singer/songwriters and loop-musicians. We don’t have free hands to twiddle knobs between and during songs. Also electronic musicians would use the shit out of it with midi controls. Thank you!!!
