Feature Request: Ribbons Disintegration Loop MIDI Sync

Pedals
#1

I managed to get a Ribbons a couple of weeks ago and have been really impressed by it.

One thing I would love to see if it’s possible is MIDI/bpm sync for the Disintegration Loop mode. Out of sync can be fun but in sync can be too!

Hey there! Thanks for the kind words and we’re glad you’re enjoying Ribbons.

It was quite a bit of work to make MIDI clock sync work for the four track looper, so it isn’t high on our list of priorities but it’s a cool idea and we’ll keep it in mind. :slightly_smiling_face:

In the mean time the four track looper is great for MIDI clock synced loops - the only difference is that the loops don’t decay/disintegrate over time.

Thanks for responding!

I figured it wouldn’t be a quick addition! But I thought I’d throw it out there in case others might be interested in the feature.

Back to enjoying all the existing features!

Please please can you add this. This pedal is a thing of wonder, but I was crushed to find the disintegration loop isn’t clocked. There is nothing else around that does SoS looping to a clock. It would make this feature completely unique. If there is anything I can do to help or persuade you to add it I will do it.

Thanks for making this pedal. It’s bloody great.

As a follow-up question, do you think it would be possible to do something clever with MIDI CC’s triggered by a clock to start and end a disintegration loop?

I guess the problem is that if there is the slightest difference in timings, the loop would drift over time. Guessing with the normal loops you are restarting the audio each loop to avoid this

Or, would it be possible to have the disintegration loop touch effect apply to an existing (non disintegration) loop if it is playing?
