Valeton VLP-400 Multitrack Sampler Looper

Ideas

The VLP-400 footswitch offers independent control of recording and playback for both LOOP 1 and LOOP 2. Its built-in collaboration mode (SERIAL & FREE) lets you effortlessly play two loops in parallel or switch between them, making it easy to shape your performance.
The VLP-400 supports intelligent doubling of overdubs, allowing you to record over the existing track multiple times. Each overdub can be controlled to be an exact multiple of the current loop duration. If the overdub duration isn't an integer multiple, the footswitch light will flash blue, indicating that recording will automatically stop once the length matches an integer multiple. For those who prefer traditional overdubbing, the "STACK" function can be accessed by long-pressing the "ASSIGNABLE" footswitch.
Compared to the VLP-200, the VLP-400 introduces ASSIGN knobs and ASSIGNABLE footswitches, offering more ways to shape your sound. With just a few knob twists, you can activate 7 effects on your loops, including OCATVE, REVERSE, FREEZE, HALF, FADE, ONCE, and SOLO. When these effects are active, the footswitch lights will glow purple. Double-tapping the ASSIGNABLE footswitch allows you to stop and start both the loop and drum machine simultaneously for more dynamic control.
The VLP-400 is equipped with a new 100-stereo drum machine that features 24-bit, 48 kHz high-quality sampling. Offering a variety of drum kits (rock, pop, jazz, electronic, metal, and more), this drum machine can be independently controlled using dedicated footswitches. When recording a phrase loop, the VLP-400 will automatically synchronize it with the drum machine's tempo, ensuring a perfect match. The AUTO mode lets you record a phrase and then activate the drum machine, which will automatically adjust to sync with the loop's tempo.
With 32-bit, 48 kHz digital audio processing, the VLP-400 can store up to 99 projects, each with up to 6 minutes of stereo recording (WAV, 32-bit Float, 48 kHz). This offers a total recording time of 12 hours. Each project stores recordings from LOOP 1 and LOOP 2, the selected drum rhythm, and BPM settings. You can also import and export audio files, making it easy to carry your music library wherever you go.
