I just found you today Jacob. Your videos are incredible and I love the way you explain everything. Thank you!!!! I see you are Hungarian string player right? Me too 😊
thanks so much and yes my dad came after the revolution!
Yes, you continue to AMAZE me, Jake. Wish I had more nerve(and years) to explore your end of the music spectrum.
Yendorscp all our technology is just another means to achieve the same ends you’ve already achieved Rodney.
Awesome video, Jacob. I could def use this!
Sean Bradley DO IT!
Hope you checked us out! Let us know if you have any questions about the product! :)
Thanks for your comments everyone! Hope this is helpful and that you are staying safe!
Didnt quite catch the name of the guitarist that you used for the demo, Motassa Sotto. ????
Great video thanks - interesting that there is a hardware solution for this now. I agree 100% that having some system for controlling playback (including speed, looping etc.) with your feet is an ENORMOUS timesaver for any string player trying to absorb music aurally. Having to put the bow down to press a key on a keyboard or click a mouse utterly destroys the chance of getting into a good practice "flow". The solution I came up with about 10 years ago was a similar cost to this: a second-hand Behringer FCB1010 MIDI foot controller off eBay ($80) with the Uno chip upgrade ($40) and Transcribe! software from Seventh String ($40). That gets you 10 stomp pedals allowing many more functions such as jump forward/back by a beat/measure/section, grow/shrink loop by a beat/measure/section, slide the loop section forward/back by a beat/measure/section, plus two rocker pedals (I use one for speed control and one for volume). I've also set up my Softstep 2 to achieve a similar set of controls for transcribing on the road. The downside is that it is hugely complicated to figure out how to set this all up. If I had more time I would make a guide and either sell it for $5 or just put it on RUclips for free ...
Adam, I never had the uno chip, but there wasn’t a usb out was there? Were you
Creating midi keyboard shortcuts and going midi to USB? That does sound like a complex solution!!!!
I haven’t used 7Th string but good to know of another software based RUclips looper. Thanks for sharing that!

@@ElectricStringPlayer Correct, I bought a cheap MIDI to USB cable (has to be the right one though, some of the cheap ones don't work properly), configured the FCB1010 to send unique NoteOn events from each bank, and then configured the Transcribe! software to interpret each NoteOn as a particular command. Took ages to figure out, but now I know how to do it, it's pretty easy to set up a new system (e.g. I did it for Zach Brock when I hung with him in Brooklyn). Ditto with the SoftStep (although as you well know that's even harder!!) Worth every second of effort though, it's an incredible system and I HATE transcribing without it now. My workflow is to first mark out all the sections and measures in the whole track, add text markers ("Intro" / "A" / "B" / "solo" etc.) so I can clearly see the overall structure, and then use the pedals to slowly work through it, looping first small chunks and then gradually bigger chunks as I progress.
