Happy to see my dream come true finally! I played my first show with the first prototype like 3 and half years ago and now it is perfect! Tested it heavily in my livesets and even made a record while testing it. Hope you guys find it as inspiring as much as I do!

Really cool idea, it's like a piece of Ableton Live in hardware. Polyphonic multi-channel MIDI looping is amazing.

Thank you for keeping MIDI alive and still evolving!!!

Take my money!!!!! Definitely prefer this over a laptop for midi looping!

i have been searching all over for something like this.

I thin it would be fair to say this 'midi looper' is a midi sequencer. I like the name though it clearly defines what it can and can't do. Most (not all) midi sequencers allow for programming and editing on a per step basis, also multiple sequences can be chained by to create longer arrangements. This on the other hand just records and plays back midi in real time. It's a bit like the difference between a DAW and a audio looper pedal.

“Awesome as fuck” indeed it is

Very interested in this. In the last example, is the TR-08 getting clocking from the looper? Also, could this work with the looper getting clocking from the TR-08? Also, in this setup I'm assuming that when using the CP to control the D-05, sounds from the CP are coming out of it also while controlling other synths? I'd like to do a minimal set up like this, but having the looper get time control from a Novation Launchpad pro, so I can kind of chain together up to 7 different pieces... not sure if thats going to work.

This is amazing. One question, if I want to use this to mainly loop my modular, would this be a good match? I see CV inputs but not outputs. I assume at the very least, it would pair well with a cv.ocd or something of that nature. Either way, genius product!

This is awesome! I want one! Will I be able to buy it in France????

Oh I have wanted a MIDI looper/sampler for soooooooooo long and finally here I think. Will it work with a MIDI Thru box? Like can I send the same note info to multiple instruments (and other info)?

Do you have to set a specific loop length for each loop..or can they all just "grow" as multiples of the first loop until each is closed and the loop length created?

How many bars or steps can it loop?kool

Another thing: I am having serious problems with the Midi Looper simply stopping for no good reason. I have ruled out what goes to the input. The stopping also happens with nothing in midi in. And it happens under midi sync as well as internal sync. But there seem to be a variable in what has been recorded. Like, some loops can go on for a day without stopping, while other loops are lucky if they reach five minutes. And loops with more than one track are more likely to stop than if there is only one track. I would love to use it for live performance, but as it is, that would be nerve wrecking. Do I have a faulty unit or what? Thanks.

@bastlinstruments

Recording the initial loop will always quantize the loop length to a bar (4 beats). Recorded Loopleght could be longer than 256 beats. Only the display cannot display more numbers than that. Pressing the LENGTH without initial loop established (LENGTH light off) will take the last used Length and set it. Lenght is loooooong. It can quantize materien during recording. Please refer to manula for more information

the difference is in the interface and immediacy of access to the looping functions. yes you can technically do the same thing with a sequencer but you won't be able to use it really fast with pressing single buttons. the focus of sequencer interface is usually editability and precise control. the focus here is the immediacy

@binarylabs7573

Overdubs are part of the main functionality; when you record over a track the new data gets merged with the existing one. There are two ways how the merging is done: overdub and overwrite (details described in the manual). There is undo/redo but you can reset the bank to the last saved state which kind of does an undo. I gues not having an undo is part of the performative focus..
