Empress Looper Instructions
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 тра 2018
- Here's the basics of using the looper mode on an Empress Echosystem or Reverb. My basic instructions are:
Button 1(left switch): record/overdub
Button 2(left+middle switch): mute/unmute active track
Button 3(middle switch): mute/unmute active track
Button 4(middle+right switch): move the active track
Button 5(right switch): play/stop
Here's the info pulled from their website on it!

INSTRUCTIONS
-to get in and out of looper UI mode, hold down middle and right stomps for about a second.
-to move the active track, tap middle and right stomps together
-to start/stop recording, tap the left stomp
-to play/pause, tap the right stomp
-to mute/unmute the active track, tap the middle stomp
-to clear an active track with material in it, tap the left and middle buttons together
-to clear all tracks, move to an empty track and tap the left and middle buttons together
-while in looper UI mode, the knobs still affect the reverb/echosystem sound, so you can change up the modes or the parameters while in looper UI mode
-the tracks still play when you exit looper UI mode.

Good job dude! Super straightforward and to the point👌🏼
You're a star, thanks so much for making this, really, really helpful!
Wow. How did I miss this??
Super! Thanks so much for making this video. Really helpful. Yea it would be great if you make another showing how to update firmware and turn the settings on/off. Thanks again.
This is great. Thanks
thanks for this man! you earned a sub!
Thanks!
Thanks for the video. Subscribed =)
Cool- would really appreciate a demo on updating firmware- Thnxs
Thanks for the video, very helpful! Just got the Echosystem and have a question. Are you supposed to be able to save the loops? Because when I restart the pedal the loops are gone...
Hi! Thanks so much for the video. I wanted to ask if I have the looper set after the effects I can start a loop with no delay, exit the looper mode (but keep it playing), select a delay, go back into looper mode and record another loop with delay on it. It would be great. If it's possible to do this, it would may be interesting to show us the result in another video. Thanks!!
MyNameIsZero Music yep you can absolutely do that! I have my board set up so that the looper on the Echosystem is before it and the looper on the reverb is after so I can change the effects and record them as I want to.
Very gret thanks. However, this machine has something intriguing that just comes with the updated firmware and it's the included looper. SD 30 card needed. 10 minutes. Can it be any number of different loops, only that they all will fit in to that max time?
I wonder if is possible to use the long delay mode (8 seconds) and build up a cobweb of old "Frippertronics", say, you have to use one in one key let's say A minor. Then hit the "freeeze" or hold function, or start the looper, to record that 8 second phrase,in an 8 second loop. It can take max 10 minutes in all. Then SAVE that loop on the S-card. Then, do a repeat, you have to play the same notes BUT IN ANOTHER KEY, or say the A major variant of the first one you made, and save it as a second loop. And on you go, with 12 or 24 different 8 seconds loops in one key each, and then when everything is done and finished, whenever you play solos on top over it, you can bring these loops up, and change keys for the underlying "frippertronics" that suits you improvisations on top. If you have 8 seconds each, it will be many iterations before you run out of that 10 minute limitation of the looper. I e bring each one of them up at a time, mixing and matching, so one loop is the A minor, the next time I step or choose, it starts to play the A major "cobweb" of ambient drones.
It's a bit of pre-recorded loops though, so you don't have to do them again from scratch building up a new "cobweb" in a certain key or flavor (tempo even) each time. Even when you play with other people you can select from the saved loops the "key frippertronics" that suits the rest of the music and add and shift accordingly, it doesn't need to be playing all full 8 seconds through even.
Is that possible with this unit/looper?
I've seen very little demos of this "fringe benefit" of this unit, i e the looper. And how many effects you can use at the same time on it, while recording a loop.
Is there any way you could do a demo on updating the firmware, or maybe send a message on how to do it? I was having some issues with mine even after reading the instructions on Empress website. Thanks!
thank your for this!
may I ask where I can find that "other video" regarding the Echosystem you've mentioned at minute 4:12 in here?
oh and there are no CC#-messages for the looper, right? it does not work via Midi?
i cant use the looper, when i a try to enter to looper mode , the light go red and blink, that all, which SD did you use?
If I have this connected to my midi switcher, can I change delay presets while using the looper?
I have not been able to even load firmware to this pedal to use looper. I have tried two different sd cards and formatted them to recommended fat 32 and other different formats and still cannot get pedal to read sd cards. not sure what is going on. Anyone else figure tis out? thx
Had no idea about this. Very cool. I don’t own one of these yet but wondered if you could answer some questions? Can you play the loop and then select a delay for the loop? Also, do you know the maximum record time?
Vaughtex you can choose if the looper is pre or post the effects so it’s real easy to record a loop and add effects to the recorded loop. I’m not sure the max time but I haven’t hit it. I think it depends on the size SD card you use. Mine is 64gb and the max length is over 2 minutes.
shrommerjr excellent. Thanks for the reply. That’s great to hear. Saves me having to get a separate looper, which I was going to. Fantastic! Is that the only thing the SD is used for?
Vaughtex you can also take the audio file and keep it on a computer. you can upload and export presets too I think.
It doesn't works in mine.
How do you exit the looper?
do u need sd card to run looper?
So can you have a different effect for each track loop? Is there a software app to control it instead of pressing down the pedal
Trade Whales If you put the looper after the effects (there’s a setting in the global settings menu to pick which order it is) then you can change the effects for each track as you go.
You can’t, at this point, use the looper with a different controller. It’s still in beta, and honestly there’s so much else packed into this piece of magic, adding a looper at all blows me away.
shrommerjr I agree I’m still learning thx
Ok.
So far no one has done a video showing an overdub on the first loop. Like… can you? I get that you can have 5 separate ones. But can you just keep overdubbing on the first one?? Maybe you obviously can… But this pedal wasn’t designed for this… and requires an sd card to make it happen. So just checking. Anybody know?
It needs to be rec overdub play. Going from record to play will cut off tails of the sound.
jmaz1100 exactly this! Do you own the Pedal? Did they change it? I am highly interested in the echosystem over the timeline,.. overdub would be epic! Thanks for reading, mate! Regards from Germany 👋🏼
Can I get metronome on the loop mode that’s super important
william Lee I see what you did there...
ouch
