Maneco Labs Minilooper
Delay and looper
12 HP Eurorack module
A modular delay and looper with tap-controlled timing, looping, speed manipulation, reverse playback, and external control inputs.
Features
- Delay and looper processing.
- Continuous recording in bypass vintage mode.
- Reverse and double- or half-speed/time processing.
- Tap tempo and continuous time/sample-rate control.
- External control is provided for the module's functions.
- Time CV accepts 0 V to +5 V.
- Record Gate, Reverse Gate, Slow Gate, Infinite Gate, and Play Gate accept positive control voltages from 0 V to +12 V.
- Feedback Disable disables the Feedback control.
- Loop Reset Trigger resets the delay loop to its start.
Controls & Jacks (21)
- In— Accepts the signal to be delayed, looped, or recorded.
- Record Gate— Accepts a 0–12 V positive gate to operate the record/tap function remotely.
- Play Gate— Accepts a 0–12 V positive gate to control whether the delayed or recorded material plays.
- Infinite Gate— Accepts a 0–12 V positive gate to engage infinite-repeat mode remotely.
- Slow Gate— Accepts a 0–12 V positive gate to engage slow, half-speed playback remotely.
- Out— Outputs the processed audio signal.
- Reverse Gate— Accepts a 0–12 V positive gate to engage reverse playback remotely.
- Feedback Disable— Accepts a positive gate that disables the Feedback knob.
- Time CV— Accepts 0–5 V control voltage for delay time and sample-rate control.
- Time— Continuously adjusts delay time and sample rate; it can fine-tune a tapped tempo or create pitch-shifting detune effects while moved.
- Loop Reset Trigger— Accepts a positive trigger or gate to reset playback to the start of the delay loop.
- Infinite Active— Lights when infinite-repeat mode is engaged.
- Slow— Selects slow, half-speed playback, doubling the effective playback time and lowering pitch.
- Infinite— Holds the current delayed material indefinitely by engaging infinite-repeat mode.
- Reverse Active— Lights when reverse playback is engaged.
- Play— Enables or suppresses playback of the delayed or recorded material.
- Record/Tap— Tap repeatedly—preferably an even number of times—to establish the delay tempo.
- Blend— Sets the dry/wet balance, from dry counterclockwise to wet clockwise.
- Reverse— Engages immediate reverse playback of the delayed or recorded signal.
- Feedback— Sets the number and regeneration level of delay repeats; the Feedback Disable Gate Input overrides this control.
- Recording Status— The large status light turns red while loop recording is active.
