EP154 Spark LIVE Looping 2: Old iPhone, OCTAVER, Automation, MIDI Control (with Loopy Pro)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- Another go with the @positivegrid Spark LIVE guitar amp with Loopy Pro, this time on an old iPhone with a Lightning connector. Also demonstrates some automated features (from initial loop detection to triggering clips and effects and chord changes), octaver effects within Loopy that that make the guitar sound like bass, and the use of a Bluetooth MIDI controller if you're uncomfortable with the screen inferface and want a "real" pedal (cf. the XSonic ULooper for the Spark amps).

I love it!
Thanks Alex!
Nice job! Do you share your Loopy Pro template?
Sure, drop a request to the obscure email in my channel description? Not sure if it will be compatible though, as I’m running a BETA version of Loopy on this iPhone. The template itself is very basic, however, so if there’s some specific aspect you’re interested in, I could just walk through it in these comments :).
Spark now has an octaver?
Nope. As stated, it's other plugins within the looper app, but it does play live through the LIVE...
@@UnlikelyArrangements I have the Xsonic looper. I saw nothing of any app.
Well in this video, and my previous Spark LIVE posting, all you see is the LOOPY PRO app, first on an iPad and now an iPhone - just connect it to the Spark LIVE via usb and you’re good to go. As I try to demonstrate, it’s a bit more versatile than most - well, any - hardware loopers; in fact you can build it according to your needs for every song if you want to. (AND as I show here, you CAN add external controllers to Loopy Pro, too, if that’s your thing.)
Hello !
Any way to change the guitar presets via midi ?
There is a physical MIDI input in the back, if you have something to put there; MIDI commands are listed in the manual. There is a wireless controller for the Sparks too, but people seem to struggle with them...
Ideally you could send MIDI from Loopy through the usb, but the Spark doesn't currently support it
@@UnlikelyArrangementsthe spark controlx not yet released in France will allow the control of the presets change but cost a lot. The solution would be maybe to plug two wireless midi from CME. One into the spark midi and another into a soundcard with a controler or a midi keyboard plugged on it 😅 the advantage would be to have a wireless solution not only for a spark amp. Am I right ?
@@ericfreget I think it should work but haven't tried those either 🙃. When I want full control, I use other guitar plugins that I can manage inside Loopy Pro (as in my "Episode" 148) and run it to the Spark's stereo inputs 3/4 - it's quite nice as just a monitor as well.
Ok
Thx for your answer !
Why don’ t you just get rid of the effects via the input one instead of plugging the guitar in the 3/4 inputs ?
Btw, you rock as a guitarist !
