Setting up advanced loop options possible?

[TimmVoelker]

Hi there,

this is my first post. I think of purchasing a blackbox primarily to use it as a standalone unit to start loops as backingtracks for my live performance.
My question is based on the possibilities of looping samples. And I hope, I can explain it in a way, its understandable.

Until now I used ableton live, where I can set the part of a sample which should be played in loop.

As an example:

I have a simple beat as a sample. The sample starts with a "count-in" (which is part of the sample and not software generated). I now set up the part of the sample that should be played in a loop. In my example everything but the "count-in". When I now start the sample by hitting a assigned key on my controler the sample starts with the "count-in" and then runs the looped part in a loop (obviously).

My question is:

Is the blackbox able to set up such "advanced" loop settings?

I really would like to have a compact solution for live shows, where I dont have to use a laptop.

Thank you very much for your replies.

Kind regards

Timm

Yup! set the pad type to sample, trigger mode to toggle, loop to forward, and set the loop points to the section you want to loop. I saw your post on mpc-forums too - what you want to do is much more straightforward on the BlackBox

Hi Asconwe,

that sounds promising. Most important for me is the "abelton-like" possibility of starting a sample and then having the unit (the blackbox) just looping a part of it. It would be perfect, if the unit can do this. And funny, that you saw my posting on mpc-forums.

Thanks and kind regards

Hi again,

just got a blackbox. And the loops work as I wanted. Thanks for the advice Asconwe !
One thing I recognized: There are some subtle "ringing-like" artecfacts on my .wav Samples in the lower frequencies. Could this have something to do with the stock SD card I am using?
Or does the blackbox need any special sampling rate?

Thanks and kind regards

Glad it worked for you!

Problem solved:

It was a sample rate problem. No artefacts at 48kHz/24 Bit.
