At first there seemed to
be a bewildering array of controls so I sat down to see if there
was a simple, practical way to use Fooxer. The scenario I came
up with is one I have seen many times from soloist buskers' in a city
mall. The requirement was to have a hands free method of
jamming with oneself, so maybe put down a bass line first, then
while the bass is looping overdub some harmonic or rhythmic riffs
over the top. I came up with the following basic steps using a
Digitech 'Control 8' foot-pedal which is basically one volume pedal
and a number of foot switches that allowed one to change the CC that
the volume pedal sends out.
-
I chose CC7 for
Fooxer channel 1 (left half) and CC8 for Fooxer Channel 2,
'teaching' the respective 'Dry / Loop' sliders to respond.
-
Centering the
'Dry/Loop' slider is the record position. Continuous
playing will create overdubs.
-
Sliding to the full
'Dry' position wipes the recording from the channel.
-
Sliding to the full
'Loop' position places that channels loop in a playback hold,
where it won't be overdubbed.
