Hi Guys. Im looking for a very simple looper like Lilac or Lupolo. Just need a EOC-Output. (I had Simpliciter but thats not what I`m looking for in this case.) Any Ideas or suggestions of how I can get what I want - which is a trigger signal after the recorded loop ends. Thanks in advance!
maybe one of the sickozell ones
maybe it doesn’t match “simple” but has EOC
Another looper module, that has EOC. And many features. ( not simple).
Thanks a lot, guys! Appreciate it! I tried the sickozell but for this case it didn’t really click with me. (It might be capable of what I´m trying to do but it was not “simple” enough for me^^). Also tried Delay-Looping (with vcv delay module) which also had some caveats for my use case. The Path Set x looks quite promising. Going to check it out this evening (hopefully) and reply.
The Memory system modules from Stochastic Telegraph output a 0-10v phasor during the memory duration, and a number of modules (hetrickCV, shapeMaster, etc) are capable of outputting a trig when the phasor wraps.
That may or may not be what you want, depending on what in way you want it to be “simple”. The memory system itself is modular and takes a bit of learning, so if you want a fixed looper design it’s not for you. But once you know it, you can make a looper that’s exactly as simple (or complex) as you like.
You could try this module and use its CYCLE output. It’s not in the Rack Library so you would have to download and install it yourself.
Exactly what I was looking for! Perfect!
(Why is it not part of the official library? What is missing? I’m a dev too - not sure I could help but maybe).
Anyways - that is my module!
There are a few features I plan to add before publishing in the library, including a feedback control and some more advanced loop functions. That’s the reason for the empty space on the panel.
I’m glad to hear it’s useful to you in its current state. I find the sustain trigger modes a lot of fun for creating beat-repeat style effects, especially in combination with the cycle output for trigging envelopes and stuff like that.
The MULT function has got me wondering if my EDP-in-VCV dreams might actually come true?!?!?
The MULT function in this case is merely “unrounded multiply” in EDP terms. Development progress on this module has been very slow, but it would be nice to include a rounded multiply mode eventually.
dude/dudette/both/either/neither -
anything that gets remotely close to EDP functionality within VCV is so. very. cool.
cudos for your efforts.
For starters: What is EDP?
And another thing: I’m using this looper now for a while and it’s really great. Has exaclty what I want. But I’m beginning to think that what would be even better, would be a looper that works like a normal audio looper (like yours) but actually only records gate and pitch info over time, so that I can plug in the sound AFTER the looper. That would really open it up for the things, I want to do.
Does something like that exist already?
Have you tried putting the looper in the chain like this (before the sound generator)? It probably already works, when the looper is DC coupled (meaning it accepts CV besides audio). You maybe have to use multiple instances: one for the gates and one for the pitch cv.
Oh that’s interesting! No - but I’ll try that as soon as possible (tonight).
Tried it out and it sort of works. But the recorded loop shifts the pitch higher (one octave) than played. Any Idea why that is? (I mean I could sort of shift it back with the oct-module when recording stops but meh…)
It depends on what you are using as sound genetator. Could you send a screenshot of your patch?
Ah I got it. Dang. Problem is that the input of v/oct is still running through the looper whilst it plays back. So after recording I have to deconnect it.
So the result is: It works! It’s kind of cool, I think. Thanks again.
When you set the mix fully to wet, it only sends the recorded signal. Fully dry = 100% the original signal. I think you can control this with a gate. Also: the Lilac looper is polyphonic. You only have to merge your signals before and split after using only one module. Just to keep it always in sync.
Just for fun: Back in the 70’s Morton Subotnik used to run tape loops with only cv signals on it, so he could control his live electronics with it. Also the loopers on the Soma Pulsar 23 are only looping gates/velocity signals, so you can easily adjust the drumsounds without having to re-record a drumpattern
