RE: Help: New to software looping
Hey Per,
Thanks for that - the MIDI controller has arrived and i
think my home internet connection has finally been relocated to my new home so I
should be able to start looking at this early next week.
I will let you all know how I go (and post something
on the net when I've recorded some results).
Though I'll still welcome any other tips anyone may
have!
Cheers
Tom

I have ordered from eBay a MIDI Foot controller
(the FCB 1010 - which seems to be the most common in use as well as
affordable) - however I've never programmed MIDI before being a bit of a
luddite - I'm definitely a stomp box kinda guitar player.
Is anyone able to help me with my first forays into
MIDI programming by either offering tips/hints or pointing me to a good
reference source on the web?
How do people who use Mobius with the FCB 1010
usually set up their banks and commands on the foot
controller?
Hi Tom,
Start out with
reprogramming the FCB1010 pedal to send out only one MIDI event (preferably a
MIDI Note) on each pedal press. A good rule is to start with bank 0 and use the
MIDI Note numbers 1 - 10, then for bank 2 you you go MIDI Note numbers 11 - 20
etc etc.
For the looper, whatever looper device/application you go with,
do not start in the technical end! It's a lot easier to start with the musical
context. Simply make a list of a few looping actions you want to work with for
starters. My suggestion is to use Record, Overdub, Undo, Multiply, Next Loop and
Previous Loop. When you get the music flowing with these tools you can expand
the palette with stuff like Reverse, Speed, HalfSpeed, Rate Shift (talking
Mobius here), Mute, Mute All Tracks etc etc.
Most software applications
(and Looperlative) has a quick "MIDI Learn" function that helps you to map the
MIDI Events sent out by the pedal to the appropriate looper actions. Chose a
function, activate MIDI Learning and press the pedal.
