It will allow me to select a new instrument. ![]() So the way to do that is click here to open up the Library. Now I have it in here and I can play it.(Music.) But I can also change the instrument. They're represented by little lines as part of a piano roll type of representation of music. I can drag it in here to add it to my song. ![]() So, for instance, let's take this first one right here. These green ones here though with the musical notes they're actually notes and instruments assigned to them. But a piano is still going to be a piano. You can, you know, edit them with filters a little bit. So when you have those in there there's only so much you can do to change them. The blue loops with the little wave form here those are actual recordings. Now there are two different types of loops. You can combine them in interesting ways and different tracks to create something. There's all sorts of different ways to search through Loops and see what loops are available and different types of loops. You can do it even without using an instrument or even having one connected to your Mac because you can use the loops which you access here with this Loops button. Definitely a little clunky, but possible if you really want a certain tone for a backing track or something.Video Transcript: You can use GarageBand to create music for different projects that you have like background for videos, slideshows, or whatever you want. If you're okay with changing your setup between layers, you can do option 2 and hook spark headphones jack to the looper with the effects you want, record it, then switch back to the original setup and the spark back to clean. It's also possible to do a little hybrid between these options. ![]() At first I thought that would be redundant since the reason I bought the spark was for all the digital pedals, but I still have those available when I'm not looping and just playing other stuff. I ultimately went with option 1, which has lead me down the path of acquiring more physical pedals to use with the looper. It's not perfect for the reasons you mentioned and also because you can't use the spark as a speaker, but at least it doesn't require any modifications to the amp itself. Thanks for your feedback! I think for option 2 you could also use the headphones jack as a line out. I started with #1, looked into #2 and decided that I didn’t want to risk it as the amp is great the way it is to me (although I wish it had a line out), and ultimately decided on #3. That’s the best solution but requires some technical knowledge and risking your warranty.Ĭhoice #3 - buy the AirStep solution (Spark, lite, or full version) and use Loopy HD. You can then push that line out through a looper pedal and back in through the aux input. So if you want your solo to be a different tone than your loop, well, it just won’t work.Ĭhoice #2 - check the spark facebook group for the modifications to tap off the spark and essentially create a line out. ![]() That’s what I did and it’s good for simple things but of course the issue is that the loop plays through the current effects. Please, let me explain… you have 3 choices.Ĭhoice #1 - use a regular looper pedal between your guitar and the spark. I’m receiving my AirStep in a few days, but I’ve also been using a looper pedal with my spark since receiving it. I did the research on this about a month ago. Sorry if this question has been asked already, I'm just having a hard time finding a good solution and would really like to try incorporating a looper to improve my playing. It would be really great if Positive Grid would incorporate a looper into the app that works with their own pedal or some new version of it, but I don't see that as an option right now. Also, I've read in some cases the signal loses quality and sounds tinny. First of all, that would mean you can't use the spark as a speaker and would need another amp, headphones, or some other speaker. I've also read of people using regular looper pedals wired after the effects through the headphone jack, which seems a little messy to me. I would consider buying that one and maybe an old iPad if I was confident that it wouldn't become obsolete in a couple of months. I know there is the airstep which seems like the cleanest solution, but I don't have an iOS device and I thought I remember reading somewhere that it will no longer be supported, although I'm not sure if that's for new models or through a firmware update to existing customers too. Has anyone found a good solution to incorporating a looper pedal with the spark?
