"Rec mode " in Echoplexx

[Christophe Rault]

Hi,

I'm actually building a loop pedal for a dance performer, based on Echoplexx.
Each layer goes into a surround panner SIMPLE.
I'm using 4 speakers, so each layer turns around with its own speed, or randomly.

Everything's ok so far.
I only need to be able to toggle between 2 behaviors for the REC button.

The first one (the one that works actually):
Press REC to record the BASE layer.
Press REC to stop it.
Then press REC to start the layer 1
Then press REC to stop layer 1,
So on.......


The second behavior I need to do is :
-Press REC to record the Base layer.
-Then press REC to stop the BASE Layer AND start the First Layer at the same time.
-After that, no need to press again the REC button for the other layer. Every layer is recording one after the other according to the BASE layer's duration.

How could I achieve that ?
Here is the link for the rack as it is now.

Hello

What you mean is :

1st trigger = rec base
2nd trigger = stop base rec and start layer 1 rec (after the lenght of base, stop layer 1 rec and start rec for layer 2, after the lenght of base, stop layer 2 rec and start rec for layer 3, ...)


What I would do is build a brand new patch with
5 samplers
a rec switch (master)

from your rec switch :
0 to 1 - set on - rec base
1 to 0 - set off - rec base
/ set on - rec layer 2
/ start - count ms of the lenght of the base
finished trigger - set off - rec layer 2
/ set on - rec layer 3
/ start - count ms of the lenght of the base
finished trigger - set off - rec layer 3
/ set on - rec layer 4
/ start - count ms of the lenght of the base
....

something like this

hope it helps ...

Hi,

Everything is going well with the patch.
Thanks a lot !

I've made it with 10 loopers and four audio output going in 2 surround panner.
I've also implemented a fixed duration, chosen prior to recording (5 sec each layers for example). So we have to press a button only once (useful in live situation where no tempo is needed).

The only problem so far is a digital clic happening on each looping point. I'm trying to find a solution. But do you think of something that could help ?

Thanks again to all.

You can use an ADSR audio module to create small fade in and fade out to avoid clics.
