Rare Beasts – Wicks Looper Acid Mix
Rare Beasts is out of Australia and they make a small unique selection of great handmade effects-processors/audio noise machines. Definitely take a look at their custom gear at their Etsy shop. The most recent release is a great little sampler/looper/noise generator called The Wicks Looper – Acid Mix.
From Rare Beasts’ Etsy site:
The Wicks Looper has 3 main controls; The frequency control adjusts the frequency of the noise, the first half of the range is tame, the 2nd half is uncut noise. The second control is Speed, which controls how fast the loop is played. The right hand side of this control plays the loop, forwards, turn the control to the left and the loop will play in reverse. Write the loop at a slow tempo then speed it up and reverse it, for a great effect. The third control is the write button, when pressed it writes a sound to memory which is then replayed next time the loop is run. With the Freq control knob adjusted anticlockwise, you can add a rest to the loop by pressing the Write button.
The video says it all… simple and cool.
