These french guys really create very interesting stuff! I was aware of seq192, but looper192 is just what we need for converting zynthian in a “Jamming Beast”, including sooperlooper too.
I dream, from time ago. having a MIDI looper on zynthian. And both, loop192 & sooperlooper, have similar OSC interface, perfect for integrating on zynthian. I envision a common UI for managing loops, both MIDI & audio. We have the bricks and we will put the mortar! Yessss! But first, we have to refactorize (or probably rewrite!!) the “zynthian core”, so we have a proper API and UI is separated from the core. Be patient!! Anyway, if some brave coder want to integrate these 2 jewels right now, he will deserve the highest honour and biggest love!!
Hi @jofemodo,
yes looper192 is very nice, but that have not implemented control by midi as have sooperlooper now.
I instaled looper192 on my raspberry pi with PatchBox Os and I will be test this in next days. Very sympathic is no complicated settings of midi in and midi out. Only midi ports which user can connect where want.
We can add this with the zynthian’s MIDI-learn capabilities, specially after we extend it for learning more types of events, what is planned for the near future.
I tried open stagecontrol on my zynthian and its, in IMHO, a way better tool than lemur, touchosc and the likes. The fact that the server is all you need running and you just connect to a webui makes setuo super simple, and the ui design options are really good, and way less cumbersome to set up than touchosc.
It also supports a TON of customization options from icons to even scripting
Oh, also, with one client I couldn’t measure any significant overhead on the pi
I have to give it a go making a recipe for zynthian (or adding a menu option for it) as it being free as in freedom and beer makes it even a better fit for our ecosystem!
Oh my god! I was kind of a Front242-Fan when I was young and saw them live playing in Bonn, Germany about 30 years ago. I think this genre is called industrial EBM (Electric Body Music).
A very famous kind of similar band is “Frontline Assembly” which I also loved very much long time ago. Their album “Tactical Neural Implant” seems to be one of the best ever made in this genre.
Today I am not able to enjoy this kind of music anymore, sorry.
My visit of the Front242 concert was a few years later, 1991 I think.
Today I hear very different music of many kinds. The aggressive electrosound of former days helped me to compensate aggressions what I don’t need anymore.
My favourite bands at the moment are Dewolff (classic 70s rock) , Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree),
but also I love Pop from Crowded House, Tears for fears, Sade.
On the jazzy side I really adore Rymden (modern Jazz Trio) and Esbjörn Svensson Trio (EST).
But let me think… What is kind of close to former times electro/ebm are the techno live performances with a massive modular synth of Colin Benders! At this video he did a live act for about 4 hours!!!
I’ve listened to the whole set yesterday evening while doing some homework (cleaning, washing the dishes, … you see
But this music mades it so that it was easy and relax.
