Re:[Harp-L] Useage of looping gear

I have loopy Hd also, but for me the RC-50 has so much more.
I wish Loopy would work better.

It doesn't have any feedback control.
It doesn't have pedals.
While the iphone mic works, using external mics, such as what the irig enables, introduces so much noise. Going direct digital on the thirty pin cleans up the sound, but reduces the sample rate by half over the RC-50.
It doesnt have midi unless you add more to it.
It doesn't have individual programming for tracks, nor selection of different programs.
It doesnt undo.
It doesn't have mic power.
It doesnt have a mic connection.
It doesn't have stereo input.
It doesn't reverse.

Loopy does have 12 loops, but it lacks a lot since it is only software running on a smart phone. It really doesn't come close to the RC-50, Imo, but the rc-50 is special in that it is the only one of the boss line that can have feedback control.

Still loopy is a fun app, especially since it is cheaper than a six pack.
