![]() LP bank one has a bunch of "standard" commands that I want to have regular access to (half-speed, reverse, undo, direct loop selection, the three scramble types, the three multiply types, square-LFO speed control, etc.). ![]() I have an external three-button footswitch programmed for navigational controls on the MC8: button one switches between the two LP2 banks (long-press to go back to the home page), and button three switches pages within a bank (with a long-press to reveal additional commands that I’ve "nested" under the usual ones using the MC8’s Toggle feature - this lets me have access to commands like "set clock source" that I think I might want at some point, but not enough to take up real estate on the "primary" pages). There are two LP2 banks, with two pages each. For context, I’m using a hierarchical menu setup with the MC8 instead of a "bank up/bank down" setup from my "home" page, I press the LP2 preset, and that takes me into my first bank of LP2 commands. Which reminds me that maybe this is a good time to share some of the MIDI commands that I currently have on the MC8 for use with the LP2. I didn’t buy the Volante as a looper, but tape-looping with it is absurdly fun.įantastic! I’m definitely going to incorporate both of those into my "quick-change" set. (I have three versions of my base-tone preset, with the SL before, after, and in parallel with the external loop for flexibility in signal flow.) You can’t overdub with the Shuffling Looper, though, so if you have other looping devices in an external loop, you may want to place the SL after the return to capture and shuffle those sounds. The Shuffling Looper on the HX Stomp works pretty well for creating long non-repeating ambient loops: I recorded a long-ish meandering diatonic melody, set the Loop Division to 8 and the Sequence Length to 32, jacked up the Reverse, Shuffle, and Drift settings, and put the Smoothing at about halfway (it goes from 0 to 50%, so about 25% on the knob display). (I was hopeful - this would have been cool to use with the Random Retrigger function.) The Retrigger commands on the LP2 cancel Overdub, so no overdub teleporting, Andre. This gives you an option for a quarter-speed setting, which is one of the on-device functions another way to think of this is the possibility to have "normal" speed, half-speed, and double-speed through strategic use of one of the half-speed controls *before* recording the loop. I confirmed Joel’s report that the LP2’s Speed CC and the half-speed toggle control stack. ![]() Not running the new LP2 firmware yet, because I have to unwire it from my pedalboard and take it to the other end of the house where the computer is I think I encountered the bug that the current release fixes, through abuse of presets with stacked Stretch and Quadruple commands. ![]()
