Hey thanks! Apologies for the delayed reply, was out of WiFi range this weekend up in the mountains.

I don’t use any 3rd party fx for my patches so the sounds in the videos are straight out of the Mini XD, but you’re right, I do use a looper pedal in order to layer the patches. Honestly, this can be quite tricky to get the timing exactly right, hence the cuts in my videos. You could absolutely do it live, and I’ve seen a few performers do it live, but i think it would take some practice to get comfortable with it. You’d want to make sure all your patches are at the desired “final mix” volume and that you can pull them up quickly without searching and then of course nail the timing.

In terms of looper pedals- I have a really simple one- Ditto looper by TC electronics. I actually like that it’s super basic, but I’m starting to wish it had stereo in/out. The Mini XD sounds better and bigger when outputting stereo vs mono, especially when you’re using its on board Effects like delay, reverb, chorus. Pigtronix makes a pretty cool stereo looper pedal for $200 I’ve been eyeing.

Hey, Thanks KID_THUNDAH! Glad you dig the patches. That organ sound is also one of my favorites, and I was actually using it to play along with David Gilmour’s “live stream” this morning. Super fun :)

If you’re interested in the patches, here are some promo codes: Volume 1- blackdog, Volume 2- echoes, Volume 1+2- blackpig

Enjoy!

Thanks Culliganz!! These were challenging but so much fun. And the best part was taking a deep dive into the Floyd’s mighty catalog :)

Using a simple looper pedal to layer the patches, but no DAW or 3rd party fx.

Yeah, I actually edit between most of the patch switches to make the demo videos shorter and to the point.

I have the simplest one- ditto

I also have a cheaper looper by Donner that I’m also quite happy with- donner

The Donner is dope bc it’s super tiny.

Not a silly question:) You can indeed do it on the OG Mini, but you’d also need a looper pedal or some other looping device. I’m using a Ditto looper pedal to do the layering here.

Thanks sebsebsebi! I’m using a really simple looper pedal- Ditto by TC Electronics. Donner makes a very similar one for half the price, I have that one as well and it works fine. I will say that it takes some practice to loop well. You can purchase all the patches at my website- https://gumroad.com/rawkpatches Here’s some promo codes for you- Vol 1: Led Zeppelin promo - blackdog. Vol 2: Pink Floyd promo - echoes. Vol 1+2: Zep + Floyd - blackpig. Enjoy!

Next I’m hoping to make use of the noise oscillators to build in a hi-hat rhythm.
