Introduction

PatchMate LOOP 8

 

Guitar players beat our doors down requesting a NEW version of the world famous Rocktron 

PatchMate....and we have delivered!  The PatchMate LOOP 8 provides 128 programmable presets.  

Eight LOOPs can be configured for multiple purposes.  Channel switching, effects LOOPs, guitar rout-

ing and more are provided in the PatchMate LOOP 8

The PatchMate LOOP 8 is easy to set up and program with real time user controls.  Program the unit 

from the front panel using the lighted buttons.  Recall presets using MIDI program changes. Control any 

LOOP in real time using MIDI Continuous Controllers.  The PatchMate LOOP 8 supports intelligent 

latching and momentary switching sensing, which allows the user to use any MIDI Continuous Control-

ler number without any other programming effort!

The PatchMate LOOP 8 has buffered ACTIVE and PASSIVE inputs, with PASSIVE/ACTIVE and AC-

TIVE outputs on the back.  The PatchMate LOOP 8 may be set to any MIDI channel and is programma-

ble from the front panel. It may also be configured for use on any of 16 banks of controllers via the front 

panel switches and has MIDI In/Out/Thru and is an ideal addition to any rack set up. 

Using Rocktron's SMART CONTROLLER TECHNOLOGY, the PatchMate LOOP 8 can also be used 

for momentary amplifier switching!

Rocktron footcontrollers such as the All Access Limited, All Access, MIDI Mate and MIDI Xchange are 

recommended additions to the PatchMate LOOP 8 for ultimate control over your gear!

Enjoy!
