Two instruments heavy effects routing

Quad Cortex

Hi all. New user here. I’m wondering.. is it possible to run separate guitar and bass lines (In 1 and 2), while having a more ambient/spacey effects setup on the guitar side (more than 8 blocks), but still have the two instruments come together before the outputs to go into a looper block?

To put it another way.. guitar on input 1 wants 10 blocks. Bass on input 2 wants 4 blocks. But they want to then mix together into a looper block and go out together mixed as Multi out?

Hope that makes sense? And that it’s do-able? Right now, it seems like if you want more than 8 blocks on Input 1 (all in series), you have to connect row 1 to row 3. Row 2 is then happy as its own instrument, and they can mix together by selecting the same outputs. But.. you can only have one looper block and would have to put it on only 1 instrument? Row 3 can’t be output to row 4, correct? Or am I missing something?

Thanks!

You can access a setting in the looper where it’s not tied to an output but it just “listens” to anything that hits the outputs. Not by mine right now but I know it’s doable. I think it comes stock mapped to the grid but you can change that setting and then place it anywhere on the grid that’s convenient

Thanks! I think I found it. Page 2 in the looper settings; “Routing Mode”.

Appreciate the tip!

If the looper routing won’t do the trick, your original attempt wasn’t that far off.

No you can’t, but you can do
Input 1 → Row 1 → Row 3
Input 2 → Row 2 → Row 4

And then use a mixer to combine Row 4 back into to Row 3 in front of the looper.

Or you could even skip Row 2 and just use Input 2 → Row 4
