@@MarkusK. Oh geez...so sorry!! NO!! It was supposed to be NOT boring for a looper. Sorry, Typing in bed laying down w my thumb. Sorry...it's NOT boring was the point. All the best. Keep going.
Ha! I’m using a digitek mini looper running on a 9 volt and Peavy solo that runs on c-cell batteries. Same rig since 1985. 12 string ovation. Can’t get similar than that. Yep, I’m a living fossil. But I travel light and have loads of fun.
I use the fishman amp; 15 hrs battery life from one charge. It’s the Fishman LoudboX. And very good sound quality, it is very small, a little guy with monster sound.
Wooooow that’s so awesome set up, Markus, thank you for sharing it is very caring, your music is beautiful just like your soul bless you bro, hope I get to know when you come to New Zealand 🇳🇿🙏👍😎jam on man 💯

Hi Markus merci pour toutes ces informations....... c'est vraiment utile et en même temps une grande maitrise donne l'impression de facile...mais c'est du talent et du travail....et l'ipad permet cela, j'en reviens pas !

CHeeers MARKUS!! Thanks for the rig rundown! I'm about to take of around the world and I'm leaning towards loopy pro to shrink my gear. KEEP ROCKING MY FRIEND~! Saaalute from Vegas
Bonjour Markus. Merci beaucoup pour le partage de votre configuration, c'est très intéressant. Merci pour votre musique. Puis je vous demander quel effet utilisez vous pour jouer de la bass avec la guitare ?
Hey Markus! I’m late to the party and have just now discovered you and your music; been binge watching your videos and really enjoy your talent and technical prowess. Do have a question- what are you using as an interface coming out of your iPad’s headphone jack? Forgive if the questions been answered but I’m old and didn’t see it if so😳 keep up the great work and look forward to seeing more from you!!
Very cool setup. So the USB hub basically functions as an input for your audio sources, the Akai and foot controller to the iPad, and then a stereo mix out from there?
It’s amazing how you have managed to power everything from batteries! Can I ask if your iPad is a regular model or a pro model? I have a iPad but not a pro version.
Hello Markus, your video sounds have improved and sound fuller with a wider range of frequencies! Is that because the recordings are now taken direct from the Loopy Pro? How does the live-in-the-field sound compare between your old powered speaker and the new pa? Also, in connecting your ipad to the audio interface, are you connecting thru the Lightning port or the headphone jack? Many Cheers and Blessings in your music ministry!
A year and a half ago, I started upgrading the quality. Loopy Pro let’s me record multitrack of my live sessions, so I can create a better stereo field etc in a remix. I am running it at 32 bits now. The speaker is far superior to any other battery powered speaker I have tried, and I sometimes mix it into the final sound. The iPad goes to the audio interface via USB. I am glad people are noticing it :)
@@MarkusK. it's interesting what other battery powered speakers have you compared to LD? I select between Bose S1 Pro, Everse, Yamaha Stagepass 200 and now LD ))
Thank-you for sharing your very effective set-up! Are you getting the bass sounds with your guitar thru the octive pedal? Also noticed you switched from the wave drum. Is the new drum set-up easier and did you have to sacrifice the brushes for it?
Thanks for sharing this! I see ToneStack listed for guitar effects but I’m wondering what you use for vocals (I.e. button that says slap)? I like how you can easily switch effects on and off in your layout and looking to do something similar. Very inspiring man thanks!
I use two different delays for the vocal, slap and long delay. Any free delay should do that without trouble. I use the delay in the free mixbox suite. Mixbox also has a sweet limiter
That is a very neat set-up. You may have already done this by now but would something like a small Jackery be an upgrade from a phone battery? Yes it's a bit more expensive but a lot more versatile.
Hello Markus. You are super talented. Love your voice, playing and song writing. I'm trying to figure out how you are able to connect your interface, midi foot switch and your midi keyboard to the iPad at the same time? Thank you!
Hi Mr K. Very interesting to see your set up,a lot of tricky kit.although I couldn't see the umbrella that you must have ? And probably sensible if you ever came buskin here at penrith and the Lake district. 😅
I have the equipment I need to do this now. I just need to figure out how to hook it all up to function. This is all very new to me. I have never dealt with a UHB hub before, so this is going to be interesting.
Love watching your performances, and this is really useful… I’ve been struggling with a boss RC500 which is not terribly reliable… but I’m playing with Loopy Pro trying to understand the input/output architecture so this has been great. Do you live loop and use the FCB to trigger the recording and overdubs?
Hi Markus love your channel and u r truly an inspiration. Wondering w recording output how u separate tracks for post recording mixing . Looks to me like it is a combined wav file on output?? Thanx so much Dr mike
You can try Loopy Pro free for a week. I can decide which tracks, inputs I want to record, either compressed or wav. I use wax and it turns into a grasp of separate tracks
I just got the Spark Live which can be put on Speaker stand and turned sideways to play in stereo. It can act as 4 channel mixer. If you buy the battery its battery powered. It sounds great. The guitar software that goes with it can be played on IPad or Phone. On the phone you can reach internet to play backing tracks. I pad I would have to have internet access. I downloaded the Loopy pro softerware and a free drum app. I have the Akai MP218 like you do and MK Mini. I am trying to get my head around how to put this all togather and make it work. Any suggestions would be great.
@@MarkusK. Right now I am just watching your videos and others trying to learn as much as I can. I got Garage band and drum software on my IPad and it will blue tooth to my amp. I ordered a Tri pod stand with table top to hold Akai stuff. I acturally have the Akai 218 and MK Mini and at Atura mini keyboard. I ordered the Connection for the IPad to connect the MK Mini or 218. I am watching your videos now on Loopy Pro and groove rider never used those apps. I am sure I will have questions. Thanks for making the videos. Nice guitar tone and nice job on the videos.
@@triplev3539 The only way I was able to use Spark with LP is the headphone jack out into the audio interface into LP. There's a perceptible latency that sours the process for me. You can get more effects than the Spark software offers as (oftentimes) free plugins. There's much more flexibility, just make sure they are AUv3 and they'll play nicely with Loopy Pro. Have a look at the vid Markus did a few months ago. It's a great jumping off point. The Sparks (original, Mini and Go) were my rig for years and had most of the pedals I needed but I couldn't change the order or loop. That little Go does everything the others can do and it clips on the strap. What none of them had was a line out except the headphone jack. When I have time and space I prefer the added flexibility of my LP setup. I can emulate any pedal. Oh and you don't have to loop.

Do you have any videos that display exactly how the iPad and akai are mounted? I’m on my way to having a very similar set up to yours but struggling to find a good means of mounting my hardware - cheers!
Good you are a spiritual person. I fear dark forces pulling that camera adapter out while playing live… what were you thinking apple? Great setup. How did you power the fcb1010? Does it take power over midi?? Sold mine cause of that, got a mc millen v1 sofstep for 80 instead.
@@MarkusK. how? Does the battery charge when you run it on 230v? That would be a great video. How to mod it. Thinking of doing something similar to my digitone. Fcb1010 Everybody has one, and somehow hates it. Clunky, 230v power…
LOL, I understand. I’m just extremely in awe of all you do. Master UA-camr, loop master, incredible guitarist and vocalist, and you still take time to respond to me. May God continue to bless you. Keep making great music.
Hi, how exactly is your Akai mounted to the stand below it? Do you have a link to a product that Ican mount my midi controller to in a similar way - cheers
Hey Markus thats incredible, thanks so much for sharing with us! And for the Beringuer FCB1010 as far i can see, its connect to the audio interface and how you make it talk and control some parameters on the Loopy Pro software? I want to use it to rec/play/stop functions for live performance while i Play my guitar and sing and can control the loopings on the go with my feet with it, please help me as this would be a game changer for me and I could get rid off the Boss RC505mk2 which is amazing but is already very limited with the only 5 tracks for me. Hope to hear from you and keep up the amazing work please! Peace!
The FCB is connected to the audio interface via an old fashioned MIDI. Once it is connected, use the MIDI learn feature in Loopy Pro to assign certain functions to the foot switches, such as record and play a certain clip (loop) 🙂
Loopy Pro works on gen 2, b problem. it’s very lean and efficient. Some effects use more but you should be fine with most. Loopy automatically pauses effects you are not using to save processing power. Try it free for a week 🙂
Hi Markus, Congratulations on the minimalist but extraordinary setup. I'm trying to get a similar setup to work. Unfortunately I don't get the FCB1010 configured. Is there a trick? I would be happy about a tip. Are you actually back in Germany this year? Best regards
Are you using the FCB with Loopy Pro? I didn’t have to configure anything. I just used the midi learn feature in Loopy Pro, but I only use the one bank, keeping it simple. And yes, I have some gigs in Germany in June. Looking forward to being back!
@@5tebe753 Have you found the midi learn feature in LP? If you have the FCB connected via midi, it should register when you step on a switch. If it doesn’t, you might need a new chip for he FCB. See you in Germany!
@@MarkusK. Yes I found the Midi Learn Feature. I had configured the FCB to the Clips. But after some toogle actions the FCB doesn't work well. It activates some Reverb or Delays or switches between some Instrument presets... My Hair ist turning gray 😂🤣
Ich möchte Fragen welche Pickups sind von Dir in der HARLEY BENTON BIG TONE geändert verbaut? Ich habe alle Videos von Dir angeschaut! Ich bin einfach begeistert und wünsche Dir noch viele Reisen und Gigs!
Thank you! I changed the pickups for the Slash ones, and had them rewired so I could get the middle pickup setting out of phase. I might put the original Harley Benton back in at some point because I think they might sound smoother.
Wow I know you hear this all the time but I love everything you do brother you should come to the US we’d love ya over here. My question is. Do you know if there’s a system like what you have that a drummer could use? I play and was thinking is I could get a system like that to play the guitar an bass , organs plus some brass and I’d play drums man would I go out and collect what I need. So if you could help me out with some ideas when you have a chance I’d greatly appreciate it. Stay safe and keep on keeping on brother
With Loopy Pro, the possibilities are limitless. Other loopers might do it too. I would go into a good shop and discuss it with them. It all depends on what you want to do. A ready made track? Playing everything live? How many instruments?
With menus possibly, but I hate menus while I am playing. Unless…. You have me thinking now…. The problem comes when I want to take things out at will, then I need all loops linked with a switch instantly

Do you have any videos that display exactly how the iPad and akai are mounted? I’m on my way to having a very similar set up to yours but struggling to find a good means of mounting my hardware - cheers!
Never mind, I was able to make it out from this video, cheers - awesome set up
Did this evolve any further? Interested to see it if so
Do you have a video tutorial how to connect these equipment all together?
Have a look here ua-cam.com/play/PL3PEQXpmh1U1WKsJ7bdG1qUfSuDqCLmxM.html&si=12kFXOllgnmx7_6w
@@MarkusK. tnx sir for your swift reply

Good you are a spiritual person. I fear dark forces pulling that camera adapter out while playing live… what were you thinking apple?
Great setup. How did you power the fcb1010? Does it take power over midi?? Sold mine cause of that, got a mc millen v1 sofstep for 80 instead.
I had to modify it to power it from a12 voor battery
@@MarkusK. how? Does the battery charge when you run it on 230v? That would be a great video. How to mod it. Thinking of doing something similar to my digitone. Fcb1010 Everybody has one, and somehow hates it. Clunky, 230v power…
@@dasczwo I modified it using a video from youtube. There are instructions out there 🙂
How possible is it to get your Loopy Pro template?
It wouldn’t mean anything to anyone else. I might publish a simple standard project at some point 🙂
LOL, I understand. I’m just extremely in awe of all you do. Master UA-camr, loop master, incredible guitarist and vocalist, and you still take time to respond to me. May God continue to bless you. Keep making great music.
@@nathanjroberts1 my pleasure 🙂🙏🏻
Hi, how exactly is your Akai mounted to the stand below it?
Do you have a link to a product that Ican mount my midi controller to in a similar way - cheers
I bought a really cheap stand in Mexico, in a shop somewhere. It’s fixed with a sort of velcro, from B n Q
Hey Markus thats incredible, thanks so much for sharing with us! And for the Beringuer FCB1010 as far i can see, its connect to the audio interface and how you make it talk and control some parameters on the Loopy Pro software? I want to use it to rec/play/stop functions for live performance while i Play my guitar and sing and can control the loopings on the go with my feet with it, please help me as this would be a game changer for me and I could get rid off the Boss RC505mk2 which is amazing but is already very limited with the only 5 tracks for me. Hope to hear from you and keep up the amazing work please! Peace!
The FCB is connected to the audio interface via an old fashioned MIDI. Once it is connected, use the MIDI learn feature in Loopy Pro to assign certain functions to the foot switches, such as record and play a certain clip (loop) 🙂
How well does Loopy pro work on iPad 6th gen, worth trying 10/2023?
Loopy Pro works on gen 2, b problem. it’s very lean and efficient. Some effects use more but you should be fine with most. Loopy automatically pauses effects you are not using to save processing power. Try it free for a week 🙂
Hi! amazing Markus.... would you share this template?
I am constantly changing it. It wouldn’t make any sense to anyone else 🙂
it's understandable. Thank you for sharing until this point.@@MarkusK.
Is Harley Benton a good guitar ? I am planning to buy one but I’m not sure if the quality is good for such price
I have had 4, all excellent
@@MarkusK. Thank you !
Am I howling at the moon trying to use the boss RC 300 as a midi controller for loopy pro?
That should work
Do you know specifically how?
0 tutorials online that I can find
Hi Markus,
Congratulations on the minimalist but extraordinary setup. I'm trying to get a similar setup to work. Unfortunately I don't get the FCB1010 configured. Is there a trick? I would be happy about a tip. Are you actually back in Germany this year?
Best regards
Are you using the FCB with Loopy Pro? I didn’t have to configure anything. I just used the midi learn feature in Loopy Pro, but I only use the one bank, keeping it simple. And yes, I have some gigs in Germany in June. Looking forward to being back!
@@MarkusK. Thank you for your quick reply. I use LP like you. I'm trying to reset from used fcb. maybe we'll see each other in Germany 😉👍☺️.
@@5tebe753 Have you found the midi learn feature in LP? If you have the FCB connected via midi, it should register when you step on a switch. If it doesn’t, you might need a new chip for he FCB. See you in Germany!
@@MarkusK. Yes I found the Midi Learn Feature. I had configured the FCB to the Clips. But after some toogle actions the FCB doesn't work well. It activates some Reverb or Delays or switches between some Instrument presets... My Hair ist turning gray 😂🤣
That’s more gear than most one man band folks, would bring to play a weekend long gig! 🤓🤣🤣🤷♂️🇨🇦
Nice to see you're playing a harley benton.. I just don't think you can beat them for the price
I agree!
Ich möchte Fragen welche Pickups sind von Dir in der HARLEY BENTON BIG TONE geändert verbaut? Ich habe alle Videos von Dir angeschaut! Ich bin einfach begeistert und wünsche Dir noch viele Reisen und Gigs!
Thank you! I changed the pickups for the Slash ones, and had them rewired so I could get the middle pickup setting out of phase. I might put the original Harley Benton back in at some point because I think they might sound smoother.
Hey what's your USB adapter ? Would love a link, thanks :)
I am now using the official camera adapter for iPad
🥰
Hello. How are the voice plugins when you compare them to voicelive 3?
The only thing I haven't found a good replacement for is the harmony effect. The rest is better
Do you use an official Apple USB adapter for for iPad or a cheap one ?
I used both. Now I am using a proper one, to be safe
@@MarkusK. I know it's pricy, but I ordered an official one and i am keeping a cheap one as a backup
hello from Skipton. Would it be possible for you to share your loopy pro setup?
I constantly change it and it won’t make any sense to anyone without the plugins etc. I have been thinking about doing s tutorial fort guitarists
@@MarkusK.waiting eagerly for the lessons)
Wow I know you hear this all the time but I love everything you do brother you should come to the US we’d love ya over here. My question is. Do you know if there’s a system like what you have that a drummer could use? I play and was thinking is I could get a system like that to play the guitar an bass , organs plus some brass and I’d play drums man would I go out and collect what I need. So if you could help me out with some ideas when you have a chance I’d greatly appreciate it. Stay safe and keep on keeping on brother
With Loopy Pro, the possibilities are limitless. Other loopers might do it too. I would go into a good shop and discuss it with them. It all depends on what you want to do. A ready made track? Playing everything live? How many instruments?
hi
is your PA system portable or powered by a generator?
integrated bateries
👍👍👍👍👍
👉👉👍👈👈
Harley Benton ?... you got it sounding really good though.
Hello,
How you power your gear?
Batteries
...surprised the phone could power all of those....
it's literally the akai 218
Do you really need so many pedals? Could your sound not be realize qith a clever setting in LP and a simple 3 botton bluetooth pedal?
With menus possibly, but I hate menus while I am playing. Unless…. You have me thinking now…. The problem comes when I want to take things out at will, then I need all loops linked with a switch instantly
@@MarkusK. Just say it cause a simple blueboard pedal would take a lot of work/weight/space and "full battery stress" off your hands.
@@fernandoscolletion is Bluetooth now instant, without latency?
Well not for Audio, but no problem for Midi commands @@MarkusK.

Very nice setup! What are you using to mount the Akai and iPad to the mic stand?
The Akai has a cheap stand I got in Mexico, and the iPad a clamp I found on Amazon, also cheap
