since I jumped to linux, I setup Carla with Surge (it has some decent MPE instruments to use with the Striso)
mostly just for midi jamming, haven't had the time/focus to actually record/produce much in the last few years - but I also really want to get into live-looping
I was always hoping to use a PC to get a cool live-looping setup going, but after all the fiddling I tried to get it working I've kinda resigned to just getting a basic loop pedal to start playing with (hopefully in the near future)
if you have any looping knowledge, any recs are appreciated
Aside from the usual "try Ableton," looping is a new thing for me as well. Drummer is a huge fan of loops and loopers. I have experience with a few looping pedals, but I'm personally kinda still getting the hang of it myself. I can definitely say that if money isn't a factor, I once had an EHX 228800 that I absolutely loved. I used that mostly as a sample trigger though, I'd load up the SD card with soundscapes I'd create and stuff, and play over those. Nowawadays I'm using both a Boss Loop Station and a DL4 (the old one, not the new one) in the same way.
Hell yeah, thats awesome! What DAW and VSTs do you use with the MIDI controller? If any?
