RiffBox Product Demos
These MP3 files are meant to demonstrate some of the performance capabilities that are available with RiffBox. They were all created using a stereo effects pedal placed in the audio chain before RiffBox. In every demo, automatic looping was used. This means that a footswitch was pressed to arm the device, and looping was started automatically based on the number of notes played (no additional footswitch presses). You always have the option to start the loop playback using a footswitch. (All of these were recorded as one audio track with no overdubs).
This demo uses mode 9, which simply repeats the loop once it is recorded. Since chords are being played, a relatively high threshold value of 16 is used. When the event count of 3 is reached, the loop starts to play back automatically. Notice how accurate the loop timing is.
This demo uses operating mode 5 with an event count of 1 and a threshold of 8 to achieve a single delay repeat that is timed to the first two notes that you play. No need to program a tap-tempo, your playing is the tap-tempo. You can always use higher event counts to achieve up to 80 seconds of delay.
Using operating mode 45 with a threshold of 12 and an event count of 4, this demo is an example of how the automatic loop fading can be used. This can be a nice effect at the end of a solo, or at the end of a song.
Operating Mode 72 provides a reverse loop playback, which can add interesting audio textures behind your playing. This demo is only of the loop playback. The loop was created using a threshold of 10 and an event count of 6.
Operating mode 2 provides automatic layering. This demo uses a threshold of 2 and an event count of 8. A lower threshold makes it easier for RiffBox to recognize single note runs. In operating mode 2, once the original loop is recorded, a new layer is automatically recorded. Once that recording is done, a third layer is automatically recorded. After this point, all three layers are repeatedly played back.
RiffBox can control the tempo of an external drum machine using MIDI clock messages. This demo uses operating mode 15, which automatically stops playback (and the MIDI drum machine) after 5 loops have been played. The threshold is set to 10 and the event count is set to 4. Once four audio events are detected by RiffBox, the loop playback starts automatically. In this demo, the notes parameter is set to 8 so that the drum machine recognizes the loop as containing 8 quarter notes. When the loop playback starts, RiffBox also sends a MIDI start message to the drum machine along with MIDI clock messages that keep the drum beat perfectly synchronized to the loop timing.
