Prototiping a 4 track collaborative loop station.

We manage to design and build a 4track looper that can be used by more than one person, wich loopers are designed to.

We used Raspberry Pi to program the functionionality, and some electronic components distributed in a way that is thinked to be played by four people. with 1/4 jack inputs and microphones.

We started with some sketches and cardboard prototypes, for making an idea of the look and feel of the prototype.

As we knew that the electronics setup will be constant, the idea is to build this first prototype accesible from top.

As we wanted to use acrilyc, we did some quick test in lasercut for have tight and a bit loose joints.

The array of the pieces of the. loop station, ready to be lasercutted. The interios curves are red to be cutted first.

The 3d model was designed in fusion 360,

Result of the first prototype, with all the inputs, leds and buttons spaces.

Chris soldering leds and buttons to be used with the controller.

The Looper is ready to be configured and used.
