5-Channel Bluetooth Looper
Our 5-Channel Bluetooth Looper is a microcontroller controlled programmable looper effects true-bypass
switching system with five loops, 100 direct accessible presets, 100 MIDI accessible presets, MIDI input and
MIDI output, and our patented Bluetooth wireless programming and control. Use your iOS or Android
mobile device and our VirtualLooper™ app to control and program your looper
in real-time. And use the app
off-line to create and manage presets, then download to the looper seconds after setup. The Looper supports
two operational modes, Live Mode and Preset Mode described in the next section of this document.
Operation (Version 5.x Firmware)
The looper operates on 9-18 volts DC. After it completes power-up, it restores itself to how it was set when it
last powered off. It operates in either of two modes described below (Live or Preset Mode). It also supports
a Programming Mode for creating new presets, a Save Mode to save a preset, and a Configuration Mode.
Configuration Mode is used to configure the global preset, MIDI input channel, MIDI output channel, MIDI PC
messages, MIDI CC responses, MIDI through, audio mute, and TRS controls. Programming is accomplished
using the footswitches and can be completed in seconds using just your feet. Programming and real-tine
c
ontrol can also be done through the VirtualLooper™ mobile app available for Android and iOS.
Presets are arranged in banks and banks are arranged in folders. There are five presets accessible in each
bank. The Bank switch increments the bank from Bank 1 to Bank 5, then back to Bank 1. Twenty-five
presets are quickly accessible via the Bank and Channel switches. There are also four folders that can be
used to organize your presets. Hold the Bank switch 2 seconds and the Looper enters a Folder Select state.
The Looper will blink the currently selected folder LED and light solid the other LEDs, with LED 5 remaining
OFF. Press a Channel switch (switches 1-4) to select a new folder. The Looper will quickly blink the new
Folder LED. Now you have another 25 presets accessible via the Bank and Channel switches.
