Spd-sx (roland drum trigger) with loopy and fcb1010
I have had no issue getting the fcb1010 to work via the CCK and a USB hub. Now I want to be able to create loops on the fly by recording the SPD-SX in loops.
From what I am reading it appears that I have to have an audio interface connected to the USB hub as well? Then plug the SPD into the hub as well as the FCB? The SPD has a bunch of midi functionality but I really just want to play the thing and record/start/stop loops.
I have spare audio interfaces and a laptop if necessary, or if that is the only option. I was just hoping for something a bit simpler.

Ok got this to work with an audiobox usb from personus, CCK, powered USB hub, and the head phone out from the SPD-SX. Surprised it all came together so fast.
I didn’t get a chance to test it for a while. I was just trying to fit it all together in my head. And it all finally clicked.
I use the SPD-SX almost entirely. For triggering loops of other pre recorded instruments (bass, guitar, synth etc). Yet I was really wanting to be able to create percussion loops on the fly.
I had tried already to get the FCB1010 to work with loopy, which was shockingly easier than I expected. My hang up was how to get it and my Roland gear to talk to loopy.
This app is amazing. Extremely well executed. Can’t give enough praise to the developer.
Thanks heaps, @stllinux! Glad you got it sorted.
