The MIDI Looper works with MIDI data (notes, CCs, clock signals), NOT AUDIO, to allow for MIDI instruments to explore the creative/performative workflow of audio loopers (pedals, rack gear, etc) with the performance data of MIDI, rather than the resultant audio signal. This allows musicians to create loop based music with performance options not previously available with audio, such as true quantization, extensive overdub/undo history, and changing instrumentation/voicing of an already-captured performance. The MIDI Looper allowed 4 tracks of MIDI looping with separate lengths, quantization, editing, and history. It's simple 2-button, 2-knob interface allowed for deep, intuitive usage for jamming or other loop-based exploration.

From the Future Artist Website: "The MIDI Looper serves as the automated helping hand for the electric piano, synthesizer or accordion player. It helps to perform live sessions as well as to produce complex melodies." "To play accurately to the beat and to record a perfectly played note sequence is a challenge, not only for beginners but also for professionals. By using the MIDI Looper the musician can record a MIDI not sequence and quantize note patterns dynamically. The high polyphony allows complex melodic and tonal variations by parallel processing of MIDI note and controller data. By using an additional foot switch, the musician can entirely concentrate on playing the instrument with both hands. "

Designed, created, and demo'ed at conferences by Matthias B. of Future Artist between 2015-2022.

This product is separate from a "MIDILOOPER" released by Bastl in 2021.
