I just went on vacation and was away from my gear for a stretch, so I had a chance to focus on some iOS music-making apps for a change. One app that I fell in love with (and I know is popular among folks here) is JimAudio Pure Acid. What a great app!
One thing in Pure Acid that I really enjoy playing around with is the looper pedal. It’s great for grabbing little phrases and repeating them over the main groove.
For those of you who’ve used Pure Acid, but are also into hardware synths and effects, do hardware looper pedals function similar to how this one does? I’ve never used looper pedals, and I always kind of assumed they were traditionally used to flesh out a song and keep parts going while you added new parts (Marc Rebillet style).
What I love about this looper in Pure Acid is using it more for adding rhythmic texture, i.e., taking a single bar (or less) out of a random part of the song and looping it while continuing to play the song.
Does anyone have recommendations for a hardware looper pedal along these lines?
