Members tablesalt Posted November 16, 2012 Members Share Posted November 16, 2012 ......So has anyone tried it yet?I'm keen for this because it's stereo, has two tracks, has MIDI sync, and looks really easy to arrange songs with on the fly. Mostly I want to know if the MIDI sync is perfect like they claim, because that is what a lot of other loopers seem to have problems with.[Edit: I wonder can it sync to an unusual time signature?] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For everything else, specially at the same price point, I'd use a Boomerang III Hmmm, lets see... Rock Solid MIDI sync. Analog pass through. Less than 1/2 the size. 2 hours loop storage. Multi Sync. USB upload. Near ZERO latency. 24bit / 48KhZ audio. Auto Fade. What we did leave out is REVERSE, HALF SPEED and FEEDBACK control. Look for those features in a firmware update.

Members Y0UNGBL00D Posted December 19, 2012 Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 $400 is NOT bad. would love to replace my RC20XL, but im just not into looping on that advanced of a level yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members macadood Posted December 19, 2012 Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 ^ i got a rc-20xl too. still seems wayyyy too much to drop on a looper. boomerang is pretty overpriced too imo. either should cost ~$250 new imo, that's what i'd be willing to buy one for. yes yes i know made in USA and lots of expenses attached but thats what it would be worth to me.

The UNDO switch jack actually accommodates a two button remote using a TRS connector, so the second button would be assignable to different functions, similar to the BONUS button on the 'rang or the INSERT button on the Echolplex Digital pro.

Members Tone Doctor Posted December 31, 2012 Members Share Posted December 31, 2012 Hello everyone. As promised, the first of the requested additional features for the Pigtronix Infinity Looper has arrived:Variable Feedback DecayWe call variable feedback decay "Loop Aging." Here is how the feature works on the Infinity Looper:Press and hold INPUT SPLIT for 2 seconds to enter the Loop Aging Menu.The digit will flash between "A" and "-" indicating that Loop Aging is currently turned off.Turn the rotary encoder to select the desired Loop Aging value.1-9 = variable feedback decay. lower number causes loop to decay faster0 = no feedback, loop is gone after 1 playback cycle (aka loop replace)P = expression Pedal control of feedback value- = loop aging is turned offPress down on the encoder (or push INPUT SPLIT again) to finalize the value you want and exit the Loop Aging menu.Notes:Like everything else on the Infinity, Loop Aging happens in real time, so you can turn loop aging on and off (or adjust it with expression pedal) as much as you want throughout the course of a single loop cycle.You can enter the Loop Aging menu at any time, even during playback.Loop Aging settings will be saved when you save your preset.Feedback decay only takes place when you are in a OVERDUB state. When you are in normal playback, the loop does not decay.UNDO works as expected, allowing you to UNDO/REDO any loop aging that you let happen during an overdub, no matter how many times you let the loop cycle.When using expression pedal feedback control, toe = "-" (no feedback decay) and the numbers go down from 9 to 0 as you move towards the heel.You can use a simple momentary switch (connected via TRS) in place of an expression pedal to get an instant "Loop Replace" function out of the "P" mode since hitting the switch is like going to "0."To install Variable Feedback Decay, run the firmware update function from the Infinity Looper Application or grab it from here:http://pigtronix.com/SPLfirmware/Obviously we welcome customer feedback, so comment here or PM me anytime.

Members hwaorang Posted December 31, 2012 Members Share Posted December 31, 2012 Wouldn't it be a great idea to make a Finite Looper? Like, you can only loop a certain amount of times and then it just stops working. I can totally see it happening. People would have to buy a second one, so it's good for business!
