This may be a dumb question, but I'd love to be able to use my alesis akira to feed *into* my jamman looper, then use it to *post-process* the loop. Other than a nightmare of spaghetti wiring, is there a simple way of achieving this? My brain hurts!

Other than a nightmare of spaghetti wiring, is there a simple way of achieving this? My brain hurts! You may be able to do this using a 4-pole double throw toggle switch; akira in --* * * * guitar in--* * * *--looper out looper in--* * * *--akira in So, in the switch up position, the guitar goes into the akira, and in the switch down position, the looper o/p goes into the akira, while the guitar will go unaffected into the looper. You'll have spare pins available to use for earth and/or stereo connections. Might work, might not.  |

Can I hijack this thread, Nick, as I need to use exactly the same thread title, but in the context of softward - plogue bidule.
I'd like to set up 6 VST FX in a chain and be able to turn any one on or off (NOT mute, as that will kill the whole chain) by pressing a keyboard key 1-6. I've managed to set up a patch that turns on any FX or chain of FX while simultaneously muting all the others. This is OK, but I need to access more than 1 FX at a time, so doing it this way needs to have 6 chains of FX, which is too CPU inefficient (I'm using a Netbook with Atom processor!), what with running Mobius too.
Sorry this is very OT, but maybe there's a bidule genius reading this somewhere. I will of course post to the bidule forum.

My brain hurts! mixer aux send >>>akira input akira output to y-cable to mixer channel and looper input set looper to 100% dry looper output to mixer channel probably this needs pre-fade send to the akira to make you happy. (this is exactly the routing I'm doing on my new modded Alesis 1u mixer) Can't help with Stephen's Bidule problem, but think there's a "keystroke to param" bidule which could be use to switch processing mode to "Bypass"...but as the Bidule forum guys are probably helping by now....... |

You're dead right, as usual (smartarse!), the parameter is called Note On to Value, and you then have to link that to the VST mode (Yes, the bidule guys told me this); all is working brilliantly now. |

(this is exactly the routing I'm doing on my new modded Alesis 1u mixer) Can't help with Stephen's Bidule problem, I'm struggling to picture this mentally but it sounds simple enough! What then do you actually do to alternate the routing? Stephen should see a doctor about his problem - have to say "bidules" sound painful  |

I'm struggling to picture this mentally but it sounds simple enough! What then do you actually do to alternate the routing? 1) If Mixer has pre-fade send. Use input with fader down, but send to Akira. Akira has send down, but bring up channel fader to monitor. Use Akira as Insert type fx. Record a loop (as looper is hearuing the akira o/p direct) Now turning up the fx send on the looper's channel will route the loop to the Akira...again you might like to use pre-fade send, and turn down the loop channel volume. 2) If Mixer doesn't have pre-fade send. Same idea, just doesn't work as well. Standard way to solve the pre-post fx problem is to use a second fx unit. |
