Hi, Back on the list againand good to be reading all the postings.
I think that I'm convinced enough to buy the (relatively) new Eventide
TimeFactor stomp box, I've read all the reviews that I can find and downloaded a
manual - i does look so versatile and controllable. The thing that I've not
heard mention of in the reviews is the looper and i wondered if anyone on the
list has tried it and got to grips with it yet?
What I know is that the looper is a short 12 second mono one, that's time
can be halved and halved again. It has basic record/play/stop footswitch control
and you can adjust the start and end points. It seems to respond to tap tempo,
which I asume means that you can set a length in bars/beats then tap the tempo
in and it will be an acurate length. Trouble is, in the manual other than a
description of the controls, there's no deeper explanation .
So, I wonder about how people find the looper in the Timefactor...
-how easy it is to set up and use live,
-if you can preset the loop length and save it as a programme - so having a
4bar loop, a 2bar one, a longer one at half speed, etc.?
-Whether creating and working with a loop requires knob turning, or if
these things can be preset - or even given over to a foot pedal?
I also like the idea of being able to have 3 seperate footswitches
connected to save mutiple functions!
Anyone got one and using it?
Thanks.
Ian.
