Unsynced Budget Electronic Music Gear Jam! (Sunday Sessions #162)
Unsynced Budget Electronic Music Gear Jam! (Sunday Sessions #162)
Welcome to Sunday Sessions, where the script is tossed out and we get right into the jamming! Today I decided to bust out the Volca Drum and the PO-128 Megaman, but I wound up jamming with them unsynced! Sometimes I actually prefer to leave my gear unsynced, just so I can have some natural tension between the sequencers, and I feel like this jam demonstrates that pretty well! Enjoy the video :)

With the right use of input effects, you can stretch those three tracks even further! I also forgot to mention it in the video, but yo...

      You're a few live rig videos behind :D lol. Basically while the Sheeran Looper X hardware is incredibly, software wise it's sorely lacking. It's missing some pretty basic workflow options, as well as being really inconsistent with glitching when overdubbing. The Boss also has 6 tracks (Sheeran X has 4) and has an insane level of customization!

    I see that. I tried and didn’t work ;) but I have another question for you if you don’t mind.: I struggle to recognize which sound is which after all the slots are occupied on the edit mode for the drums .. I tried slowing the bpm but it does not work for me… All this on the context of making a variation of a pattern after being copied to a new slot to do so.

      @@FreeBeat let’s say you have a pattern and sounds awesome. Then you copy the pattern to another slot because you want to make a variation of it . When I got to edit mode all I see is all led lights are lit… and when I start deactivating and activating back I loose track of which slot I used for certain sound. I would say, how do you remember that this particular slot is this sound, and this slot is another one;))🫣

    To stop the bending issue: 1. Measure the gap between the OPZ and the flat surface it sits on. 2. Go to a hardware store and purchase a 'washer' of the same width as the gap. 3. Glue it to the back of the OPZ. 4. Problem solved. Stop complaining and go make music.
