Zida za Bastl v1.1 MIDI Looping Device User Manual

MAU OYAMBA

Midilooper is a device that listens to MIDI messages (control information about notes, dynamics and other parameters) and loops them in a similar way an audio looper would loop pieces of audio. However, loops of MIDI messages remain in the control domain, which means a lot of other processes can happen on top of them – timbre modulation, envelope adjustments etc.

Since looping is one of the fastest and most intuitive ways of music-making, we made the controls of the Midilooper quickly accessible to encourage uninterrupted flow.
Midilooper can be synchronized either by MIDI clock or analog clock, or it can also run on its own clock (tap tempo/free running).

Midilooper has 3 voices that can each be assigned to a different MIDI channel, allowing it to control and loop 3 different pieces of gear. Each voice can be individually recorded, muted, overdubbed, or cleared.

Midilooper also offers some basic processing of the recorded information: transposition, velocity locking and shifting, quantization, shuffle, humanization (random variations of velocity), adjusting the length of the loop, or doubling and halving of the playback speed.

KHALANI NTCHITO ZA MIDI

Muyenera kudziwa
Pophatikiza mabatani mabataniwa amakhala ngati mivi:
REC = PA
SEWERANI/IMANI = PASI

Voice buttons A, B, and C select the voice. Select voice A by pressing the button and set up its output MIDI channel by holding FN+A+UP/DOWN. The display will show the MIDI channel number. Set the MIDI input channel on your synth to the same channel. If done correctly, playing notes on your keyboard should play these notes on your synth. If it does not, check the connections, power and MIDI channel settings on both the Midilooper, and your synth. Follow the same procedure for setting up voice B and C.

TIP: AT THIS POINT YOU MIGHT ALSO WANT TO ADD STATIC OCTAVE OFFSET TO YOUR VOICES (EACH SYNTH YOU MIGHT WANT PLAYING IN A DIFFERENT OCTAVE). TO DO THAT, PRESS FN+TRANSPOSE+VOICE+UP/DOWN

Mukupeza mayankho a MIDI?

6. USB Midi - chiwonetsero chimati UB ndi LENGTH Led zimayatsa

* If you are using an analog clock, you might want to adjust the DIVIDER.

** Beware that there are incompatible versions of the standard MIDI connector (5pin DIN) to 3,5mm (⅛ inch) TRS MIDI jacks adapters on the market. The variants developed during a period before standardisation of the minijack MIDI (around mid 2018). We comply with the standard specified by midi.org.

TIP: TO SEE WHETHER YOUR CLOCK IS ACTIVE, YOU CAN MONITOR THE SECOND DOT ON THE DISPLAY WHILE THE PLAYER IS STOPPED.

ZINTHU ZINA

Metronome Out – headphones metronome output.
Bwezeraninso – makes the Midilooper go to the first step.
CVs or Pedals – 3 jack inputs which can be either used as CV inputs or as pedal inputs to control the Midilooper interface. The CVs can influence one, two or all voices.

To select if CV is active for a voice hold the voice button for 5 seconds and then use:
QUANTIZE button to activate the RETRIGGER
VELOCITY button to activate VELOCITY CV
TRANSPOSE button to active TRANSPOSE CV

TRANSPOSE input will cycle thru the voices

TIP: YOU CAN CONNECT ANY SUSTAIN TYPE PEDAL TO CONTROL THE RECORD BUTTON, CLEAR BUTTON OR THE VOICE SELECTION. YOU MIGHT NEED TO USE AN ADAPTER TO MAKE IT 3.5MM ( ”) INSTEAD OF THE MORE STANDARD 6.3MM (¼”).THE INPUTS RESPOND TO A CONTACT BETWEEN THE TIP AND THE SLEEVE. YOU CAN ALSO BUILD YOUR OWN PEDAL BY PUTTING ANY BUTTON CONTACT BETWEEN THE TIP AND THE SLEEVE OF THE JACK CONNECTOR. IT ONLY DETECTS TIP-SLEEVE CONTACT.

Utali wa loop yanu ukhoza kusinthidwa padziko lonse lapansi: LENGTH+UP/POWN kapena pa liwu lililonse: LENGTH+VOICE+UP/POWN. Chiwonetserocho chidzawonetsa kutalika kwa loop (mu beats). Kusintha Kwautali kudzasintha muzowonjezera za 4 kumenya 1 bar.
To make finer increments TAP and HOLD LENGHT + UP/DOWN to change the Length in increments of +/- 1.

Recording the initial loop will always quantize the loop length to a bar (4 beats). Recorded Looplength could be longer than 256 beats. Only the display cannot display more numbers than that. Pressing the LENGTH without initial loop established (LENGTH light off) will take the last used Length and set it.

QUANTIZE

Quantize aligns your recorded material to the grid. Turn it ON or OFF by a single press of the QUANTIZE button.

The amount of QUANTIZE can be changed either globally: QUANTIZE+UP/DOWN
or per voice: QUANTIZE+VOICE+UP/DOWN.
Nambala yomwe ili pachiwonetsero imayimira mtundu wa gridi yomwe zinthu zojambulidwa zidzawerengedwa.

VELOCITY

Kutsegula VELOCITY kudzasefa kuthamanga kwa zolemba zonse zojambulidwa ndikupangitsa kuti ikhale yokhazikika.
The value of VELOCITY can be changed either globally: VELOCITY+UP/DOWN,
or per voice: VELOCITY+VOICE+UP/DOWN.
Langizo: Mukapita ndi liwiro pansi pa "00" mufika ku "AYI" kuti "zabwinobwino" kapena "kusasintha" kwa liwiro. Mwanjira iyi, mawu ena okha ndi omwe angakhudzidwe ndi VELOCITY.

It applies only to the selected voice and it will become active at the moment you release the buttons.

SHUKA

Shuffle adds delays to certain 16th notes to achieve a swing effect. Press: FN+QUANTIZE+UP/DOWN to adjust the amount of Shuffle. Positive values delay every second 16th note by a set percentage to achieve a swing effect. Negative values add respective amounts of random timing delays to all sent MIDI messages to achieve a more human timing feel.
Zimangokhudza liwu losankhidwa ndipo zimaperekedwa pambuyo pa Quantize.

ANTHU

Humanize randomly alters the velocity of played MIDI notes. Perform: FN+VELOCITY+UP/DOWN to set different amounts of Humanize.

The higher the amount, the more the VELOCITY gets randomly affected.
Zimangokhudza liwu losankhidwa ndipo zimaperekedwa pambuyo pa Quantize.

SUNGANI

Mungafunenso kuwonjezera static octave offset kumawu anu. Synth iliyonse imatha kusewera mu octave yosiyana, kapena mungafune kusintha izi bwino.
Chitani izi: FN+TRANSPOSE+VOICE+UP/POWN kuti musinthe mawonekedwe a Octave pa liwu lililonse.

KULAMULIRA KWAKUNJA

RETRIGGER

The Retrigger input will reset envelopes by sending Note Off and Note On in successive order for sustained notes and short Note On and Note Off for the last set of notes played in legato. This will apply to all the notes that have been played in legato even after they are released. “Played in legato” means that as long as you keep overlaying the end of one note with the beginning of another, or until you release all notes, the Midilooper will remember all these notes as played in legato. Simply put, if you play and release a chord and then apply the Retrigger – those notes will be retriggered. The Retrigger can be applied to one, two, or all voices. See Further Connections on how to assign the CV inputs.

VELOCITY CV

The Velocity CV input adds to the Velocity value of the live-played, recorder or retriggered notes. This can be used in conjunction with the Velocity feature or simply to add accents to certain notes. The Velocity CV can be applied to one, two, or all voices.
Onani Malumikizidwe Enanso momwe mungagawire zolowetsa za CV.

TRANSPOSE CV

Kulowetsa kwa Transpose CV kumawonjezera pamtengo wa Note wazinthu zojambulidwa. Kulowetsako ndi sikelo ya volt pa octave. Izi zitha kugwiritsidwa ntchito molumikizana ndi mawonekedwe a Transpose kapena Octave.
The Transpose CV can be applied to one, two, or all voices.
Onani Malumikizidwe Enanso momwe mungagawire zolowetsa za CV.

Bwezeraninso

The Reset input will make the Midilooper go to the first step. It will not play the step, however. Only the clock of the selected clock source will play the first step.

DIVIDER

Izi zimakupatsani mwayi wokweza / kutsitsa tempo yanu yolowera kuchokera pamawotchi a analogi. Dinani FN+FUTA+UP/PASI kuti musinthe chogawa. Wotchi yodziwika kwambiri ndi noti iliyonse ya 16, komabe, imathanso kukhala yothamanga ngati zolemba za 32 kapena pang'onopang'ono ngati zolemba za 8 kapena 4. Chiwonetsero chikuwonetsa nambala yosankhidwa. "01" ikasankhidwa, wosewerayo amangopita patsogolo pamawotchi a analogi. Gwiritsani ntchito njirayi mukamagwira ntchito ndi wotchi yosakhazikika.

NOTE: THE ANALOG CLOCK IS INTERNALLY UPSCALED TO MIDI CLOCK (24 PPQN = PULSES PER QUARTER NOTE) AND SETTING THE DIVIDER WILL FURTHER INFLUENCE THE BEHAVIOUR OF QUANTIZE AND OTHER TIME-BASED SETTINGS.

Onani Connect ndikusankha gwero la wotchi yanu kuti mudziwe zambiri.

PEDAL CONTROL

The user interface can be controlled by foot pedals.
See Further Connections on how to use external pedals.

LOOPING CCs NDI PITCH BENDA NDIPO PAFUPI

Control Change and Pitch Bend and Aftertouch (channel) messages can be recorded and looped as well. As with MIDI Notes, the Midilooper will listen to these on all channels and forward them / play them back only on the channels assigned to its voices. The overdub/overwrite mode does not apply to these messages.
Once the first CC of a certain number is received, the Midilooper will remember when it was tweaked, and it will start recording the loop for this CC number. Once it finishes the loop and comes to the same position in the loop as the first CC of that number, it will stop recording the CC and will start the playback of the recorded values.
After that point, any newly arriving CC will act as the first CC and will start the recording until a full loop is reached.

Izi zimagwira ntchito mofanana ndi manambala onse a CC (kupatula ma CC apadera: sungani pedal, zolemba zonse kuzimitsa etc.).

MFUNDO: SEWERANI/IMANI+ CHONSE = CHOKERA CCS CHOKHA PA MAWU OSANKHIDWA.

Lingaliro la kujambula kwa Pitch Bend ndi Aftertouch ndi lofanana ndi la ma CC.
