Anybody own or have used one of these? Seems it would make life much easier when wishing to loop the outro or into of a tune on the fly.

[DSILVR]

They look the tit's good for mixing techno and minimal and that.

Get some wicked shit happening

Loving Richie Hawtin and how he uses his, there sick from what i have seen

never used one but.


By the way i love Richie Hawtin.................

[mcdoofus]

I think richcur has got one - I've been looking into getting one, they look pretty rad.

[Wowk]

I really really want one of these, would make mixing techno an absolute dream

[DSILVR]

en'oath mate ^^^

Watched a video of richie hawtin, mixing in a new track, loops the other one and then lifts the needle off the turntable keeps the loop going and continues to mix......... pure class

[Neo_]

They are an awesome bit of kit.
Thats all thats needed to be said. Buy one it will make you happy in pants.

[richcur]

Yes I have one - it's part of my mixing routine now, kinda feels strange when I play in booths that I can't easily plug it into. Works extremely well with the Xone92 aux send/return layout, but still does fine job on any mixer out there - you just have to mess around a little more with in/out levels due to the XL relying on the headphones for a signal

You can also get pretty creative with the XL by using the reverse loop function, or the loop shortening trick. If you're the sorta person who relies on bpm counters for whatever reason, I've noticed the XL's counter is by far the most stable and reliable, but I guess that's just a minor advantage considering it's main function is to be a sampler.

[kloseline]

how long does it take to get the right bpm in such a minimal range as .1.....?

[Clarkey]

I am obviously a bit biased but....... I think they are awesome.
An essential piece of kit for anyone who is looking to spice up their mixing/remixing.
The BPM engine is rock solid!

[Mercury-Drinker]

By the way i love Richie Hawtin.................
Not alone there.... Richie, Richie, Richie!

[Mercury-Drinker]

Will be picking one up next weekend I think.

EDIT: How tight and easy is it to create a loop? CDJ loop function is a piece of shit i think, that being said I've never bothered to use it inside out.

[ekwipt]

I have the micro and it's pretty tight, it can loose sync though, and you have to power the thing on and off

[Majestyk]

Paolo Mojo was playing with one at livewire and at sweetchilli. These look like awesome bits of kit.

[adamhatfield]

I have one, they are a piece of piss to use. Thoroughly recommend them

When you're manually setting the bpm of an effects unit like the KP3 (which has a shocking auto-bpm function) trust me, the 0.1 matters :thumb:

A single button press

Not alone there.... Richie, Richie, Richie!


The guy makes me happy in the pants:lol:

[Mr S13]

I just bought a SoundBite Pro and its an awesome bit of gear! But I'm a little confused by a few things like do you have to unplug it to turn it off? The manual aint that great either... does anyone know of a forum/site somewhere that could help me out a bit?

[DJ D one]

Got one a while ago on ebay I think, great little device to add to your arsenal but make sure you have a spare channel on your mixer.

^ If not you could hook up via send/return if you have that.

I do, but already busy with the kp3...definitely will need to update the mixer...when some $$$$ come my way.:rock:

Thanks for the suggestion though.

[silvaside]

you can do the same with efx 500

[KuRuPTeD]

or a sampler.

[truba]

or a cdj

[Mercury-Drinker]

or a cdj
Not with as much ease though.

[Clarkey]

or a cdj

Unlike CDJ & EFX you can grab loops from up to 8 different parts of the track. That way you can do a live remix.
You can also loop more than 1 sound source.
That way you can have 2,3 or even 4 (depending on how many channels you have on your mixer) sound sources playing at the same time & record them as 1 loop!

Like I said earlier I am a bit biased.

I can see...;D

[v904]

I'd love to add something like this to my setup (or the KP3). Still havnt perfected the basics tho so it'l just distract me at this point...

but DAMN talk about (apparently) useful and versitile! ('apparently' til i play around with it and confirm/disprove the assumption)

[scottwalker]

anyone here looking to sell one of these?

edit - dont worry i just bought one :thumb:

[pan_]

anyone know where i can pick up one of these second hand? dont really have the cash for brand new :(

[DJ D one]

they are rare to come by SH...good luck...your best bet is to start to save up for a new one, hoping one SH will pop...but again good luck...

[scottwalker]

go check out Spank Records in Sydney (and online) - they have them for $390!!!! BARGAIN!
