Blooper

The bottomless looper.

Within this little blue rectangle is an intricate machine to explore, unravel, and make your own, with infinite opportunities and outcomes. The dream of blooper was to merge high-quality looping with creative manipulation, allowing you to steer your loops to new and extraordinary places. Record a loop one day, save, then come back and transform it on another.

On the practical end, there is loop saving, eight layers of undo and redo, and external syncing. On the creative end, there are two channels of modifiers, a lo-fi Stability control, and three looping modes. blooper’s heart is Additive mode, which allows you to record sound modifiers directly into the loop like any other overdub.

MIDI box

The Chase Bliss Audio Midibox allows the connection of conventional Chase Bliss and Empress effect pedals to be controlled via MIDI command. For this purpose the box converts incoming MIDI signals via 5-pin DIN contact to standard TRS plugs to control the FX device via the Tap/Midi jack. The four outputs A through D offer the possibility to control up to three effects simultaneously, while the MIDI Thru jack also allows the MIDI signal to be used on other devices.
