Hello guys!
I’m struggling to set properly my home studio.
I need a diagram to help me figure how to connect my gear…
I have:
Yamaha mg10xu
Blackbox 1010Music
Ditto x4( I want to be able to loop all my stuff in there)
Walrus pedal( I plug my guitar or all my other stuff in it)
Microkorg Xl+
Guitar
Po-33
In fact I’m struggling with my mixer, I want to be able to connect all but also to be able to sample all of it in my blackbox but first in my looper ditto…
Anyway if someone coule help with a diagram it would be so helpful.
Use the aux out from the mixer into the ditto
Ditto into the 1010
1010 to the monitors
On the mixer use the channel sends to route signal the looper. You should have enough inputs to plug in the rest of the kit.
Edit:. Or you could even route the 1010 back into the mixer
Mixer out to monitors. Just make sure not to aux send to the 1010. This is probably the correct signal flow.
it seems you have an idea what you want to do with you setup, so please try to draw your own diagramm first, then show it here and we can help on details… i would start around the mixer whoch has 4 mono and 3 stereo ins and one send and go from there…
This sounds really good ! Thank you for your supreme amazing delightful help!!!
My mixer is kind of strange but I got stereo out and monitors out, i guess I could use the stereo out to go to ditto, thank you for you help I’ll try it!
So I take it your Blackbox and MicroKorg are stereo, not sure about the PO33.
Here is one scenario:
-> Blackbox into your Line 5/6
-> MicroKorg into your Line 7/8
-> Guitar into your Line 1
-> PO-33 into your Line 2 (or 9/10 if it’s stereo)
Then connect your Mixer’s FX Send as follows:
-> FX Send to your Walrus Pedal
-> Walrus Pedal to your Ditto Looper
-> Ditto Looper to Blackbox IN
Now you can use the FX Send knob to send any or multiple signal(s) (Guitar, PO33, Blackbox, MicrKorg) through your Walrus Pedal, your Ditto Looper and finally your Blackbox INPUT.
I don’t own a Blackbox, but I assume you can monitor the audio that comes in (so you can hear that signal through your Blackbox in realtime). If it can’t (which would surprise me), you’d have to split the signal coming out of your looper and send one to the Blackbox IN (so you can sample) and the other back into your mixer (eg Line 3) so you can hear the FX Send signal.
Of course you can mix the FX chain around, eg if you prefer to loop stuff BEFORE you send it to the Walrus pedal, then you’d swap those. My thought here was: with the Walrus Pedal in that position you can loop/sample your signal with or without the Walrus effect applied to your signal, so to my mind it’s more flexible.
If you send Stereo Out to your looper, you won’t be able to separate the signals. So you’ll always send the full mix to your ditto. If that’s what you want, cool, but if you want to be able to e.g. loop the guitar but not the MicroKorg on the fly (that is: decide which signal should be sent to the looper in realtime), you will have to use your mixer’s FX send.
EDIT: also note that your mixer only has one Aux Send (the FX Send) which means you can’t go stereo into the walrus pedal / ditto looper / blackbox IN. To separate the signal stereo you’d need a mixer with at least two AUX Sends (or a stereo aux send). That said, it seems like the Blackbox samples mono (is this correct?), so in the end you don’t lose much anyway.
Yeah I recently got myself a mixer AND a patchbay, now I feel like the Captain of my very own Starship Entreprise lol, infinite opportunities for exploration
Step 1: Unplug the ditto from your blackbox and plug the ditto into one of the free channels on your mixer. Is there a signal now? If so, the issue is with the Blackbox.
If not, we’ll have to look at the Ditto Looper’s wiring and settings.
about it being mono
