I have jammed al morning with my live rig, routing sends from XONE 464 to DB4 as effects mixer
OMG, that was fun

It was Daveās original video of using the mixer with the digitakt that encouraged me to buy one.
Itās a great mixer but also terrific to sample from into the octatrack.

Great to hear!
Itās awesome to use it like that yeah. Itās fun to push gear to new undiscovered waters, and even more so if it wasnāt specifically designed for it 
@evsey curious to hear what youāre cooking!

I uploaded a brand new video about the DB4 last Sunday. Here I share some of the perfomance tricks I use live as well as a send/return hack and how the xone k2 adds a lot of capabilities to the loopers 
Enjoy!

DB4 + Xone K2 = (Octatrack transition trick)^2

Yeah itās pretty nifty.
How does this run with Catalina currently? Can you at least record audio into ableton via usb? Anyone using with Serato? Is it compatible if on Catalina? Thanks!
Works fine with latest osx. Via USB into Ableton is all good in my experience.
Canāt say for Serato as I donāt use it.

Iāve said it a few times already, but some should really take this concept and turn it into an iOS app - now that we have class-compliant audio for the Digi machines, a dj mixer/looper/fx processor doesnāt currently existā¦ yes, you can design your own enviroment using AUM and several different apps, but some aspects (like a simple crossfader) are quite complicated to achieve and involve different apps + MIDI remapping = more chances of crashes, etc.

Interesting idea! 
Just out of interest (Iām an app developer, but just for clients, nothing of my own yet), how much would you feel happy paying for an app that did this?

Yup
Money. A class-compliant DJ mixer/looper/recorder with FX (plus clock sync solution), could be worth up to IDK, $100. Probably take a lot of influence from the DB 4; e.g., 4 stereo channels in (maybe 2 stereo out)- with lots of thought into the control surface.
I would easily pay 15-20 dollars (I live in Argentina, where thatās quite a bit of money) if it did what I expect from it and itās properly supported - maybe a bit more. (Iām trying to be within reason of what iOS app cost - that I know itās sometimes too little, making it hard for developers)
Iāve done some beta-testing (Shoom and a few others) and Iāve been craving for something like this (either hardware or software) for a long time, and Iāve posted here and other places many, many times, at the point of sounding like a crazy person.
So if you ever decide to give it a shotā¦ let me know 
Iāve harvested ideas for this for a long time (probably not alone here) and I like to think of myself as a somewhat-reasonable person (meaning Iām not going to ask for the app to make pancakes as well)ā¦ also a graphic designer and a nerd - what I mean to say is: my heart is in the right place hehe
Hi Dave. Thanks for your inspiring videos. Iāve just clicked the buy button for a DB4. I will be using it on my OTās 4 outs plus my virus and use it as a jamming box to build loops etc with the FX and filters. Can you bounce one loop to another while playing the FX etc ?
Thanks

Hi Dave/All, an additional trick that was not covered yet (I believe) I recently realized that the DB4 can be synced via the K2. Not sure if that was mentioned anywhere already?! But this is solving the clock sync issue the DB4 has, not being class compliant. The K2 is and sends the clock signal to the DB4 via X-Link.
My current setup:
Midi clock master (e.g. AR) -> midi in iConnectMIDI4+ -> USB host iConnectMIDI4+ -> K2 -> DB4 via X-Link
That gives 4 loopers perfectly synced without use of a laptop

that is very interesting to know, ty
Thatās a very good find indeed! Thanks for sharing that. I didnāt know that either till a laptop needed but it does give you the class compliant midi sync which is very nice
I have to try))
