I am trying to build a Beatbuddy (drum machine) and looper pedal with my pisound.
The goal is to be able to control the drum machine and the (software) looper with my pisound and to synch all the elements perfect. For example, if in the drum machine i have a song with 2 parts, each part could use a different looper channel (chorus and verse).
I have started controlling the drum machine via MIDI.
I know… but… what will be the price? The midi maestro costs 249$. A infinity looper costs 545$… probably singular sound looper will had a similar costs…
Are you getting something like 2ms latency round trip? Do you have anyway to measure the latency? I have other digital devices competing for my overall latency budget.
Any degradation in sound quality if you leave this on all the time (versus true bypass)?
See the reply here regarding how to estimate what latency you can expect:
It should be ~2ms if using 192kHz rate, but it also means the effects have more processing to do, so you have to keep the complexity of the effects chain low enough to keep the chain stable.
Pisound has Total Harmonic Distortion of less than 0.05%, so the drop in quality is very low.
