Thank you so much for a great video! My band just ordered one, and we can’t wait to try it. We will definitely use this video for navigating the different controls.
Glad it was helpful! I heard from IDORU that they are taking pre-orders again so that's very exciting. I'm sure you'll love it, simple but perfect tool to keep your focus when performing :).
@@kevanbarrett7411 we actually just got it, so we haven't actually tried it yet. But we ordered it unknowingly without an SD card. No big problem, we just buy it from some place else. But we would have preferred to have an SD card along with the Idoru. I will let you know when we have used it.
Ok thanks. If it will play midi tracks in the same way as it does wav files. I would almost certainly get it. If not a B-Beat might be a better option.
The thing about having your own clicktracks is that you can also make them muted whenever you want... With the Liveplayer 16 we have one clicktrack for drummer that is audiable at all times. And then we have a secondary clicktrack for the guitarists that is only during "guitar only" parts like intros etc. But sure, a internal clicktrack based on midi tempo would of course be a nice feature!
Maybe a year or more ago I've seen a presentation of this and I was really impressed. This seemed the perfect solution. But there was no chance to get one..... and unfortunately there's still no chance. So I found a new Italian brand which isn't a pedal, it's a small standalone unit with 6 channels. I saw it, I baught it. So what's the problem?
I love this concept, but there are a few things that I feel need improvement. 1: Only six mono channels of audio. Why not 12, or 6 stereo via trs? 2: Dedicated tracks for MIDI w/ volume. 3: Audio loops for sections w/ time compression/expansion and tap-tempo, to keep playback in sync with a live drummer. I have the 1010 Black Box and Boss RC 600. Between those two drives, I can cover more bases that this device. Still...a great starting point...I'm gonna keep my eye on this.
Just got back from Philly, seeing Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift. They didnt play any music, we got to the arena, the lights went down low, and then they just stood there with their instruments and talked for hours. They just talked for hours, then the concert was over and we all went home.
A great device for touring. I am waiting for a version for a separate group of users , which interacts with the audience, for example, at worship and in churches. There you need support for at least 3 sections of the song: introduction, stanza, chorus (and preferably the ending). For this purpose, additional 3/4 buttons to switch between sections of the song would be useful. That way you could repeat the chorus several times, return to the verse, etc. Still a great product!
This video needs more talking. I mean, who cares about seeing a pedal being played, or hearing it be played, or a list of features. Instead lets just talk talk talk talk talk ttt aaa llll kkkk talk ttalky talk talk talky talk away talk talk talk talk talk. TALK. TALK. talk. Its the talk pedal!
If you read the description you'll find that this is part of three videos with the last being a performance with the pedal. Although this is a performance tool, it isn't performative, so you don't "play" the pedal.
@@shuttersound-berlin I know Im just trolling, its the internet. However I do own the meris LVX and even that is a liitle glitchy, so I am always hesitant with pedals that percieve to do a lot... if even Meris cant make a 3 switch muti pedal not be glitchy... what hope do others have? However I will await more videos and cool that its related to Berlin, berlin is the best place for music and technology.
Yes, enjoyed the comment :). I don't know the Meris LVX so I'll check that out, thanks for the tip! One of the reasons I like this pedal is it's simplicity but not for everyone if you need to trigger samples/loop sections etc. In the interview video IDORU mention this has been requested, or at least the ability to loop sections of songs, so it'll be interesting to see how this could be implemented.
Thanks for the comment. I see where you are coming from, but I haven't seen a band in a long time that doesn't need or use some form of backing when they play shows.
I mean... this piece of kit has a number of applications. Click for drummers. Midi signals for lighting, synths, and other types of gear. It really is kind of a cynical take to say this device isn't for live music. I am a tech for two tribute bands and one "dance band," and there's only one of the three projects that doesn't use tracks at all... and that's because they have 8 people on stage. But this device would be great for running lights as well as running a sort of semi-open IEM system. I would gladly get one immediately if I had an extra 600 USD laying around. It really would be the Swiss army knife of live music support.
It's been real music for a long time. The concept of "musique concrete" has been around since the 1960's. Playing from backing was first attempted with gramophones back in the late 1920's.
Thank you for this walkthru! I've been eyeing this for a while and I really appreciate the in-depth review! I definitely want to buy one of these!

Hi. I'm thinking of ordering one so wondered what you think of it. Can it handle up
to 6 midi file tracks like it can with wav files?

Awesome. Thanks for the great overview!
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great presentation!
Thanks :)
Can it send full midi program changes?
(MSB, LSB & PC)
MIDI Channel > Bank > Sub Bank > Program Change Value
where can I buy it if I live in Mexico?

If it works for you then great! What is the name of the unit you bought?
@@shuttersound-berlin M Live BBeat
So you got another device and never mentioned it's name?
@@zeco_vlogit's a M1 Live BBeat

No Bluetooth?
Drop them a feature request?
I think this device will replace my cymatic audio Lp 16

I'll give you Springsteen, but personally Taylor Swift talking is preferential to her playing. If I had to choose.

I’m sorry to disagree about this being for live music! You may call it backing tracks, jam tracks or karaoke, but it ain’t live music!
