My friend and I have been trying to find a good looper for us to jam with. He’s a more traditional musician (keys primarily, but also guitar) and I primarily use the monomachine with a sampler/synths connected. We first purchased a RC-300 and didn’t like that it couldn’t be slaved to the monomachine. So we went with the EHX45000 and he didn’t like the fact that it didn’t allow for different length of loops, undo, and no display of tempo. We also had issues with syncing (monomachine as master) in that it would drift after a few bars. We looked at the Pigtronix Infinity but felt that 2 loops per memory slot / 18 loops (9 memory slots x 2 loops) in all wouldn’t be enough.
Now we’re thinking of going back to the RC-300 and let that be the master for sync while deactivating transport on the monomachine so it doesn’t get stopped when his loops start/stop. Anyway, any further recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I looked over the RC-505 just now, and that seems promising. The only downer is that you can’t trigger it with your feet and that might be a problem for my buddy who needs his hands for keys etc.
