Thanks for the kind words! Make sure to check out our website here: singularsound.com/product/aeros-loop-studio/

Awesome! Keep us in the loop :)

Thanks for the comment! :)

Thanks for the comment, Rafa!

Thanks for the comment! ;)

@@SingularSoundOfficial I had mine in 2 days. Not kidding. I clicked the mouse and as I turned away from the desktop the mailman smacked me right in the face with it.

@@frankardos4211 that's great news! Welcome to the SS family!

@@SingularSoundOfficial Yea "Buddy" ha ha....love that thing man......best friend in the whole wide........ahem......jam room..........!!!

Having issues already guys. I'm sorry. Theres a song already loaded in this unit that I can't get rid of???

Hi Karissa, thanks for the comment. Yes! We're aware this could be a great feature to add to the Aeros and we're hoping to add it in a future firmware update. Join us our forum where you can connect with the community and find out more about our future features: forum.singularsound.com/

Hi Milos, the best way to connect both pedal is via MIDI (BB Master Clock) demonstrated in this video. This way you will have separate audio source (BeatBuddy & Aeros) independently from each other and total control of both pedals. The Aeros does not work as an interface but you can export all the audio files into your computer for post production. Feel free to reach out at support@singularsound.com for any further questions.

A full range speaker or amp would work great.

@@SingularSoundOfficial Hey gang,....I am using an FRFR myself. All good. Is any line level such as the "emulated line out" from my amp ok for either main or aux input? It seems ok so far. I have more to ask but will head over to the site. Thx so much for everything.

@@frankardos4211 Yes! the line level is fine

Hi I use a Laney AH 300 its a multi channel all purpose amplifier.

There is a Metronome build in into the unit

@@SingularSoundOfficial thanks sorry maybe my question was wrong but I got an answer on another video, freeform mode is what I want which is coming soon :)

You can always get a bigger one. ;)

Hi Richard, thanks for the comment. In this video we show both pedals synced via MIDI (BB master clock & ALS as the slave). This way you'll have full control of the drums (fills, transitions, tap tempo etc) without messing up your loops. Check out this video demonstrating both pedals. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6_1-bAGq4DU.html

Hey Joe, please reach out to our customer support team to give you a detailed list of ways you can set these pedals up at support@singularsound.com. Thank you!

Hi Fabian, thanks for the comment. The ALS was the ability to behave as the Master Clock and/or the slave. I this video, we demonstrate the BB as the MIDI Master Clock so you can freely change the BPM value and everything else (ALS & Helix rack) will be synced together. Additionally, the ALS has 6 parallel tracks vs LB has only 4 and ALS records in 24bit vs LB in 16bit. Lastly, the ALS has the ability to have free mixing and is much more compact vs LB is a huge monster. Make sure to check out the full manual here: singularsound.com/start/

The Aeros has the ability to record up to 3 hours mono, 1.5 hours stereo recording time using internal storage and up to 48 hours storage when using an SD card. You can easily export files into your computer and vice versa. Feel free to email us at support@singularsound.com for any further questions.

Yes! the BB will send the MIDI signal (MIDI out) using the Y cable (MIDI adapter) into the "MIDI IN" on the Aeros. Feel free to reach out to anytime at support@singularsound.com

@@SingularSoundOfficial Thank you so much guys! There was an issue I'm remembering from another piece of gear where the routing had to be in/out according to the CABLE and not the logical flow like as with a pedalboard etc...I thank you again SS.

Check out this incredible video review by Ricky Tinez: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KnJubTSYkMI.html

We are currently building a backing track function into the Aeros - it should be ready within a month or so. However, currently we are only supporting WAV files. You can also sample/record any signal into the looper (Mp3 player or iPod) audio using a 1/4 inch cable. Feel free to reach out to us at support@singularsound.com.

Hey Todd, this is possible! It's just a little bit of a learning curve if you're not familiar with MIDI. Head to our manual, and read about MIDI song select in the MIDI & The Aeros section: singularsound-publicly-downloadable.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/manuals/Aeros+Loop+Studio+Manual+(Firmware+5.0.0).pdf

If you are still confused please reach out to our customer support team at support@singularsound.com to help further!

You need to connect the BB "MIDI out" (using the Y MIDI adapter) to "MIDI In" on the Aeros. Please feel free to email us at support@singularsound.com so we can help you properly.

@@SingularSoundOfficial I surely will guys and I know i get a little excited with this stuff, but I really dig this unit! I know together we WILL sort it all out. Thanks a million. You guys are top notch all the way. Bless you!

You can have any time signature in multiple song parts using the free-form mode. You will have to manually change the song parts but you can select "end of loop" which would be easier while changing song parts while playing.

Wait!!!!!! I'm gettin somewher!!!! Wow!!!! I goofed thats all. I'll check back!! It's sounding AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes you can! You can record multiple instruments using the main and aux inputs.

A single tap will stop it at the end of the measure, a double tap will stop it immediately. The syncing issue and other feature enhancements are constantly being addressed with updates.

@@rickthestick8 Yes, I am aware of those features. My question was regarding restarting the loops in-sync with beatbuddy when only the loops are stopped temporarily while the beat continues to play. If this feature is not available as of right now, I hope it can be added via firmware update in the future as it opens up so much more possibilities. Keep up the great work!

@@shot87 thanks for the comment and so happy to hear you loving the Aeros. :) We're implementing the Aeros to restart at the beginning of the measure and we hope to have the update in the next 2 weeks. Feel free to reach out to us at support@singularsound.com at any time.

@@SingularSoundOfficial That is a fantastic news. I have been a fan of you guys since you first announced beatbuddy (I was an early backer). I know I can count on you guys to deliver the goods and it's part of the reason I had zero hesitation in pre-ordering aeros. Keep up the great work!

@@shot87 thanks for the comment and we'll keep you posted.

Hi Michael, we have not yet built MIDI ID to call up songs on the Aeros yet, but it is on the development timeline.

@@SingularSoundOfficial cheers, ill look forward to it.

The Aeros has many more advantages over the Infinity and all other loopers, such as visual feedback, the capability of parallel and sequential loops at the same time, WIFI updates, hands free live mixing with the volume wheel... Yes, you can use the Aeros to control the BB, and it will make the BB go to different song parts to follow the Aeros (if there are enough song parts in the BB song). However, using the BB as slave will prevent you from changing song parts on the Aeros while keeping the same drum part. Each system has it's own advantages and disadvantages.

@@SingularSoundOfficial Thanks for your reply! I like very much what you said about BB as slave of the Aeros. If that is the case, would the Aeros be synced with BB? I make this question because it is easy to understand that sync is possible using a looper as slave because the BB will send the Midi Clock to the looper (this is something that already occurs using BB along with Infinity Looper). But if this happens the other way around (BB as slave of the Aeros), I am not sure if that will sync. I hope I am missing something that you guys in Singular Sound have had already figured out. please let us know. Cheers.

@@SingularSoundOfficial When using BB as the master, can you still use Aeros' foot switch to transition to the next song part instead of using the BB to transition? Having BB to transition to a new song part would mean that I will have to have all the song parts in BB and be forced to use a different drum parts for each new song part instead of keeping the same beat across multiple song parts. It would be easier for more spontaneous playing if Aeros could be used for both switching song parts and to cue the transition at the end of the current loop, and using BB transition only to switch between different beat patterns. This way, the player can have the freedom of switching only the drums within a song part or switch song parts with the same drum beat. Also, would midi maestro be integrated into the workflow of BB+Aeros at some point? I have been a happy user of BB ( I was a kickstarter backer) and I have placed an order for aeros already. I am a big fan of your work and I would be considering midi-maestro as well if it can integrate seamlessly to BB+Aeros. Keep up the great work!

@@vicenteb531 Yes! they will sync together (Aeros master) and it will make the BB to change to different parts. Feel free to email us at support@singularsound.com for any additional questions.

@@SingularSoundOfficial great! thanks for your reply!

Hi there! The units work using the BB as the master clock and the ALS as the MIDI slave. We hope to expand the Aeros MIDI capabilities (master clock) very soon. You can sync you DAW to the Aeros the same way as the BB. You can always edit or export any MIDI file into the unit using the BBM software.

@@SingularSoundOfficial Okay, good to know it's in the works. I'm wondering about the exact Jazz Funky Brushes loop that you used, it looks like something that would come with the BB but it doesn't? Is that a loop you made yourself that's not publicly available? I'm trying to avoid getting bogged down in MIDI editing when I intend to practice looping. Thanks.

@@aydengrahammusic that beat comes in the default content. It is the Jazz 6 funky jazz 140BPM with the jazz brush drum set sound.

Hey there you will need a total of 3 cables to connect all three pedals together: 2 standard male to male MIDI 5 pin cables, and one MIDI breakout cable (singularsound.com/product/midi-sync-cable/) You connect the small female MIDI end of the breakout cable to the BeatBuddy's MIDI port, then you connect the MIDI Maestro MIDI OUT to the IN port on the Breakout cable. Then connect the Aeros MIDI IN to the OUT port on the breakout cable!

@@SingularSoundOfficial Hey thanks for the reply. I finally watched the other tutorial, saw what I needed and bought them, thanks! Still getting everything hooked up, cant wait to get everything rolling!

Check out this video tutorial: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j5CgJ_SPVyA.html

@@SingularSoundOfficial Problem is, I use a pedalboard, so I was looking for a drawing that shows how to route EVERYTHING together. Im not sure if I want a drum machine going through a tube amp though. When I just had the BB , id run it separately through a solid state amp. I see tons of videos on how to use these separately but nothing with all of these elements together. Does anyone have a drawing they can send me?

@@brexxebender1204 the BeatBuddy should be send to a full range amp/monitor speakers to achieve the best quality sound. Please join us on our forum or email us at support@singularsound.com

Thanks for the comment! Make sure to visit our website here: singularsound.com/

Hey there, You need at least two cables to use the BB's MIDI capabilities. One being the breakout cable, which we sell on our website. The other being a standard male to male MIDI cable. To use the BB as master, have the male to male MIDI cable connect to the OUT port on the MIDI Breakout Cable. Then, you connect the Male to male MIDI cable to your MIDI IN on the Aeros.

@@SingularSoundOfficial thank you so much! I thought I was going crazy. 🤓👀😎🤟

You can use the volume wheel to face the whole mix or individual tracks/loops.

Those effects are on our development timeline, but will not ship with the first units. As of now, all MIDI sync is done through the MIDI IN/OUT 5 pin ports, but you can get a MIDI 5 pin to USB adapter.

@@SingularSoundOfficial Thx good to hear it! lastly is there an undo button you can use for each loop easily on the fly? Otherwise this thing seems perfect!

@@michaelmarsmusic holding down the right RPO button will undo the loop of each track. Check out this useful video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4FTcwboaXWs.html

Boomerang lll has all of those. More importantly it has 3 looping modes and doesn't need to promise firmware updates to be complete. This Aeros unit has no serial sync mode...a major flaw that I'm pretty sure a firmware update wont fix. It sort of requires the beat buddy....Drum machines will always lack the human element...esp in live performance

Aeros is way more powerful than a boomerang, I have a boomerang and there are a lot more options with this. The updates with Aeros are one of it's major benefits as it it won't get left behind and users can make suggestions. And finally, the BB sounds more human than a lot of drummers. Each to their own though when it comes to creativity and expression, to be honest I wish this stuff was a secret that only I knew about.😉

Hi Ece, the Aeros is super easy to use and it would work seamlessly with the BeatBuddy. The main advantage over the Infinity looper is the ability to see the wave forms and to mute and mix the loops on the fly. :)

Singular Sound we need more videos.. 🙏🤓 Can we split the vocal looping and guitar lopping to different inputs? Can we stop all the loops with our foot while the beatbuddy continues to play for the loopless song parts? i mean our song’s part where there isnt any loop but only drums. can we mute all the loops with a foot push while the BB continues to play? All of these details are so crucial for my decision.

@@ecedorsay the Aeros will record your vocals and guitar in separate inputs (L & R). You can mute any track and keep the beat going and bring them back at any time. Feel free to contact us at support@singularsound.com for any further questions.

You can use a XRL to 1/4inch adapter and plug a mic. We recommend the use of a pre amp/mixer to have better control of the gain levels.

You sure can. I have some video demos up if you're interested, and lots more coming.

Yes you can but we are still waiting on documentation

@@SingularSoundOfficial That is totally fantastic news. Right now 11/21/ish...I need to get used to navigating with the different icon function symbols and dots etc... One thing I learned which was my bad,....was that there MUST be at least 1 currently loaded "song" for using the loop studio. Correct? It'll get there. I'm only in the 2x2 mode!! LOL!

@@frankardos4211 Yes! you have to load or create a song on the Aeros first in order to record your loops.

@@SingularSoundOfficial You guys are THE best with all this! Yea I'm really green right now but learning. Once I get it fully midi w/BB I'll check back. Prob today if that's cool.I have a simple set up otherwise. Thx SS bigtime.

@@SingularSoundOfficial Hey guys. I don't seem to have midi working? I simply followed Anthony's instructions . I have one cable from the "out" of the y cable on BB to the "in" of the Aeros. The guitar works but no drums. Do I have to have an sd card for midi? The BB settings are correct I believe. Help!!

Hi Donovan, make sure to visit our product page and find out all the complete features of the Aeros. singularsound.com/product/aeros-loop-studio/

Consider the boomerang lll....I love mine..Doesn't require a drum machine either . Cost $470 and is much more simple to learn and has more features and is rugged with great foot switch's that won't break easy. 3 looping modes as most good looping devises do.

@@richardmhaa6538 Just sold my Boomerang and Sidecar, it's an awesome unit for sure but the Aeros & BB combo is a quantum leap ahead for my needs. The Boomerang is built like a tank so for folks used to it no reason to switch unless you need the extra features and/or real estate on the pedalboard.

Hi Richard, you can record live percussion sounds using one of the inputs and add external instruments (hand drum & pads) for your songs with the Aeros. You can use the looper in free form mode or internally quantized and don't have to use the BeatBuddy as your drummer "click". Check out this cool video with Joe Vitale Jr where he explains different ways to use the looper. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lXd58H3i38w.html

We're considering this in the future.

@@SingularSoundOfficial Thank you for your reply, but please note that the future is now. Now is the best time to beat the competition since many are at home learning and practising with this type of devices. Once life comes back to normal, good luck getting everyone's attention.

We're disappointed to hear that you didn't like the music. We appreciate the feedback. Feel free to send us your music and we'll check it out!

@@SingularSoundOfficial I agree with Brian

@@SingularSoundOfficial I think a blues or rock would be better for everyone to understand or appreciate !!! anyway goood job !!

@@didieramont2186 We will on the next video. Stay tuned.

agree they could have used a much more enjoyable song to demo this
