BEAUTIFUL LOOPS (DIY 165€ to 268€ case dependant)

Big things come in small packages! The LoopA offers a unique method of music production with six polyphonic MIDI tracks and optional dynamic quantization. Arrange your song live by switching through six scenes (36 tracks in memory), and mute and unmute tracks with perfect synchronization during your performance.

The hardware boasts high-quality Matias mechanical keyswitches and Signature Plastics keycaps plus a crisp graphical OLED display. The unit boots in a few seconds with the last session recalled instantly.

New Firmware v.206

Now supporting 256, 512 and 1024 step-equivalent clip lengths (previous limit was 128) - you can now create clips with loop lengths of minutes :).

Improved display responsiveness/refresh rate, if the LoopA core is not under load

Improved initial BPM/timing stability, just after a sequence was started (thanks Michael!)

Added customizable footswitch functions: choose any two of eleven new footswitch actions!

The new "Cursor Erase" footswitch action overwrites clip notes under the time cursor, this allows for live re-recording of new notes while the sequencer is running.

The new "Jump To Precount" footswitch action allows jumping to a count-in point of a sequence, simplifying re-recording of a clip.

New option "Track Switch": when enabled, "long-pressing" a mute key directly switches to that track. (thanks Eugene!)

New Option "Tempo Up/Down": Configurable BPM delta speed (faster/slower buttons), perform linear BPM fades in five preconfigured speeds

New Option "Follow Track": automatic track following when muting/unmuting, can be set to "disabled"/"when unmuting"/"when muting or unmuting" (thanks Eugene!)

New Option "LED Notes": visualizes played notes via temporarily red illuminated track buttons in the MUTE screen - when the sequencer is running, this indicates which track is actively playing notes.

    Seems better than FutureArtist's Midi Looper

    New video with better illustration of the units capabilities.

    Bastl is $300
    Midiphy is 200 - 300 case dependant cost
    Plus, if you like that sort of thing comes as a DIY kit

    Video manual for the Bastl Midilooper

  • wimwim

    Can either of those be controlled with a foot pedal? I can't see the use for something like that over an iPad if you still have to poke at it with your fingers while playing.

    The Bastl has fixed-function footswitch inputs; the Midiphy has a pair of assignable footswitch inputs (one TRS jack that accepts up to two TS switches).

    Thanks @celtic_elk - good to know.

    Looks fun but none of the Midiphy kits contains all required parts.
    Even with the metal case version, there are a lot of components yet to add, I'd estimate another $100..150 until you have everything together, plus a few hours soldering job.

    $113 and some change...

    Well it would be a nice project. Maybe after I finish my monome Norns clone (Fates). The Norns will be my first foray into soldering and DIY.

    If anyone is interested there is a shield kit for Norns that requires some soldering and additional parts for under $300 including the cost of a raspberry pi 3

    https://market.monome.org/collections/primary/products/norns-shield-kit

    Works like a regular Norns, but with no (beautifully minimal) case and it doesn't cost $800
    (besides they are sold out and new ones are delayed because of COVID)
