GisserD Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]ive been thinking about how i could incorporate some of my analogue pedals better into my midi controlled (midimouse + Source audio hub) rig... is there a simple solution to turning on/off a loop containing an analogue pedal? with a midi controlled looper maybe? just a thought but if anybody produced a little loop box with a on off loop controlled by midi or the SA multi function input.... i would certainly buy a few of [/font][/color][color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]them.[/font][/color] [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]anybody got any ideas?[/font][/color] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyquipment Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Use a raspberry pi or something to turn the analogue pedals on and off ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GisserD Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 please elaborate as i assume this would require wiring a raspberry pi into the pedals right? im not really into that idea so much... unless i misunderstand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elephantgrey Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 What exactly is it you want to achieve by integrating your pedalboard more into your midi setup? If you want to bypass different pedals with program change messages, then maybe something like the [url="http://www.voodoolab.com/hex_switcher.htm"]voodoo labs hex[/url].

GisserD Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 ok so i did some research, and some other forum members helped me out. The VL hex would definatly work... but a tad expensive i beleive this would also work... cheap enough, but not readily available in the UK http://www.nuxefx.com/product_detail.php?id=78 with http://www.nuxefx.com/product_detail.php?id=79 but the clincher for me seeing as i already have the Source audio hub, is.... http://www.sourceaudio.net/blog/post/source-audio-namm-countdown-2015-the-neuro-loop-switcher its not available until Q1 next year, but when it is, ill have 4 please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I suppose so How else can one interfere with an analog pedal? Without actually touching it, you're gunna have to get the soldering kit out Cos the analog pedal ain't that clever, wasn't designed to be used that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GisserD Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 you would need to use the raspberry pi to control a relay, that then switches a loop on running signal through the pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elephantgrey Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 the G2 seams to be the only one that gives you control over the signal chain via midi, which is nice. Wish they would do a cheaper/smaller version with just the in/out(+send/returns) and midi sockets though. As far as controlling analogue effect parameters goes, you either need something like [url="http://koma-elektronik.com/?product=rh301-rhythm-workstation-utility-tool"]this[/url] (probably with an [url="http://missionengineering.com/?product=expressionator-2"]expressionator[/url] to turn CV to expression), or go for pedals like [url="http://chaseblissaudio.com/"]chase bliss[/url] or [url="http://empresseffects.com/collections/pedals/products/tremolo"]empress[/url] which have analogue signal chains but work with midi. Heres a video of the chase bliss pedals, just because im GASing for a warped vinyl: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSKWJA_SlCg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttitudeCastle Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I'm likely missunderstanding, but it sounds like any fully midi controllable/programmable by-pass looper should work for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0175westwood29 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 http://www.musicomlab.com/efxlite.htm this thing is pretty small and seem to send and receive midi signals doesnt seem to be a uk dealer but around 300 euros isnt to bad.

LiamPodmore Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Gigrig G2, Voodoo Labs GCX, Rocktron Patchmate. There's various options out there. For keeping everything on a board though the GigRig is a pretty common one, which can also be rackmounted too if that's easier. Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GisserD Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 Thanks for all the input. The key point here is I want a product that I can Incorporate into my current setup. I don't want to rebuild my rig around a large and expensive switcher. Source audio are bring out a product next March that does exactly what I'm after. I'll just have to wait for it.
