Product information

General

The Valeton VLP-400 gives guitarists and vocalists countless ways to get creative with their sound. This multi-track sampler features two independent loopers that can be set to Serial Mode so you can seamlessly flip between two loops via the fitted footswitch while retaining full control over the structure of the song. In this mode, the second loop automatically starts playing when the first loop is over. If you then re-activate the first loop while the second loop is playing, the second loop is immediately paused and the first loop will start playing. In Free Mode, loop 1 and loop 2 are completely independent, which means they basically serve as two separate loopers that can be used at the same time, with the footswitches giving you full control over the recording and playback.

The VLP-400: Full Creative Freedom

The VLP-400 also features intelligent overdubbing capabilities, allowing you to record over existing tracks multiple times where, in terms of duration, each overdub needs to be a multiple of the duration of your current loop. When this is not the case, the footswitch indicator LED blinks blue to let you know that the recording is automatically stopped as soon as the duration checks out. Prefer to do things the traditional way? Simply activate the stacking function by holding down the customisable switch. Valeton has mounted a set of assign buttons and assignable footswitches so you can quickly add seven different effects to your loops. When you use any of these effects, the footswitches are backlit in purple. You can also double-tap the customisable switch to boot up or stop the loop and the built-in drum machine.

Advanced Drum Machine Inside

This uber-flexible looper has been also been equipped with an advanced, high-sample-rate drum machine that serves up a wide range of kits, supporting everything from pop and rock to jazz, metal and electronic music. When you record a loop, it's automatically synchronised to the tempo of the drum machine so that everything lines up perfectly. Simply set the drum machine to Auto Mode and you won't have to worry about a thing. The Valeton VLP-400 Multi-Track Sampler can store up to 99 projects, has a total recording time capacity of 12 hours, has been finished with various inputs and outputs, including an instrument/mic combo input, inputs for external footswitches, MIDI, and a USB port for firmware updates, audio file import and export, and project management.

Valeton VLP-400 Multi-Track Sampler

Goeie looper! Ik heb deze gekozen omdat hij enkel interessante features heeft, zoals de "intelligent overdubbing": ik heb geen weet van andere loopers die dit hebben. Daarnaast heeft hij nog een aantal mogelijkheden die je wel op andere loopers kan vinden, maar niet per se allemaal gecombineerd (en binnen een vergelijkbaar budget):
- 2 loop sporen, te gebruiken in Serial of Free mode.
- Drum machine, te gebruiken in Sync (manual) of Auto mode.
- Loop effecten: zeker niet het meest belangrijke, maar af en toe wel eens tof voor een kleine creatieve boost.
- "what you see is what you get" bediening met knoppen en schakelaars, je moet niet in menu's duiken om een parameter te wijzigen.
- hoofdtelefoon uitgang (opgelet: zonder speaker simulatie)

Behalve een kleine opmerking zoals over de hoofdtelefoon uitgang, nog geen grote minpunten tegengekomen.
Ik wist bvb op voorhand dat hij geen Auto recording functie heeft, wat de kleinere VLP-200 wel heeft, maar het stoorde me niet want bij loopers komt het uiteindelijk toch aan op zorgen dat je timing juist is en je de tel bijhoudt.

Stevige metalen behuizing, en de knoppen voelen heel solide aan.
