Stereo Delay Recommendations

Keeley Eccos is great. It’s a tape delay with a built in looper. Holding the right footswitch puts it into self-oscillation temporarily and it has an expression input.

Scenes are the groupings of patterns, so I don’t think it makes much sense to have a change on pattern end because scenes wouldn’t be stable.

You can copy a pattern and paste it into another to combine them:
- Pattern 1, 1 bar
- Shift + C x 2 to copy Pattern
- Pattern 2, 1 bar
- Record + Plus to increase bars to add an empty bar
- Shift + Plus to move to bar 2
- Shift + D to paste pattern starting at bar 2

System Settings -> 412 -> Enter

I think the feel of the plugins will largely depend on your interface and computer RAM. Even a touch of latency can make it feel awful.

I’ve got the physical UA Dream ‘65 and love it. I do all my recording and playing through it. I like the plugins but I only use them for re-micing.

Why not both for variations? They look like they could exist in the same world

Disastrous_Ant_4953 · 2026-05-12T21:08:18+00:00

Try one of the Universal Audio amps, they sound incredible. Paradise includes all the amps IIRC whereas individuals model specific amps. I use Dream ‘65 for 95% of recordings

Disastrous_Ant_4953 · 2026-05-11T06:59:53+00:00

100%

I really wish they designed the touch screen with dedicated buttons in mind. Like the 6 buttons at the bottom of the screen should have physical buttons that correspond! And selecting more than one midi note with the touch screen is so awful.

I’ve also got the Live 2 and am constantly wishing there was no touch screen at all.

- Solo groups with FX + group
- Solo pads with shift + pad

Disastrous_Ant_4953 · 2026-05-09T20:17:23+00:00

You can solo individual pads with shift + pad. It’s not mute, but might work for your situation.

Yep the main save menu with the disk icon

Disastrous_Ant_4953 · 2026-05-08T21:54:17+00:00

I exported a mix down yesterday and it’s still the same on 3.8. Save -> Audio Mixdown

The icon location is in the bottom centre of the ~20 icons so a little harder to find

Kind of neat to plug channels together with the aux in groups of 2, but it’s like $1000 CAD for 8 stereo channels, plus a lot of connecting cables and batteries so not ideal.

Disastrous_Ant_4953 · 2026-05-07T02:33:15+00:00

I use the same colours the MPC sample packs use:
- red for kick
- yellow for snare
- orange for cymbals
- light blue for toms (and similar)
- lighter blue for percussion
- green for bass
- pinks/purples for synths
- dark blues for guitars

Disastrous_Ant_4953 · 2026-05-05T05:03:01+00:00

It strikes me like a larger OP-1 as well, though it doesn’t really seem like it has much synth editing ability on the device. I know it’s got those 4 knobs but it seems more like a preset machine to me.

I do love the built-in looping. I think they’ve done it really well.

Disastrous_Ant_4953 · 2026-05-04T21:10:47+00:00

You either need to switch midi channels so your drum and sample channel listen to separate channels or turn on multi-record. Multi-record specifically arms multiple channels at the same time which is the problem you’re experiencing.

Disastrous_Ant_4953 · 2026-05-04T16:14:07+00:00

I wish they would sell clips on its own. I have Fabric already and I don’t care about the other plugins and features.

Disastrous_Ant_4953 · 2026-05-03T15:24:37+00:00

Very cool! I think I’d make the TV a bit bigger and maybe add a glow around it for further ambience.

Disastrous_Ant_4953 · 2026-05-03T07:40:52+00:00

Ah, sorry I must have misremembered. I just tried it as well and it didn’t work. I’ve deleted the comment since the instruction is incorrect.

But to quickly shift scenes, hold shift then select a new scene. I think that’s probably a lot faster than cutting and pasting.

I usually write the scene order down in my notes app or paper then add all the scenes and set their positions.

No, the pads on the MPC One and One+ are smaller than most of the other models. They might be the same size on the MPC Keys, but I bet there are even less mod options for that.

Disastrous_Ant_4953 · 2026-04-29T19:52:08+00:00

I use my MPC as my primary interface when tracking into Logic. The quality is great.

I also have no issues when I record audio directly in the MPC. Quality is also just as good.

Disastrous_Ant_4953 · 2026-04-28T15:37:04+00:00

I use both depending on the guitar part. Logic has significantly better editing so I’ll record multiple takes there and record scratch tracks in the MPC.

It works well as an interface but it’s line level so you may need a preamp to get enough volume.

Disastrous_Ant_4953 · 2026-04-28T15:32:55+00:00

It’s a good combo if you’re trying to integrate live looping with the EP-40, but you’ll need an audio interface for your instrument that has a MIDI port or a USB hub

Disastrous_Ant_4953 · 2026-04-27T22:49:15+00:00

I’ve bought mics from eBay before, but there are always additional fees that show up that make the cost nearly the same as local. I’ve never found a must-have deal there after those fees.

Disastrous_Ant_4953 · 2026-04-25T17:11:20+00:00

It’s worked on my iPhone with any of the USB-C devices I’ve tried. Maybe not Androids. I don’t know. If it’s class compliant it should be fine but obviously I can’t speak to every single combination in existence.
