SCOOPER Modular Scatter

One of the newer signal processors to garner widespread popularity is the looper. The obvious question was, where will the looper go from here? The SCOOPER is one answer to that question. Roland has always been at the forefront of cutting edge effects processing technology, and the SCOOPER is another example of this research focus. The SCOOPER is essentially a single-pass looper whose output scheme is modified by a Scatter function combined with time, pitch and filter processing.

SCOOPER is an ultra-modern effect that can sample, mangle, degrade and glitch captured loops of incoming audio. After capturing an audio loop, you can use SCOOPER to adjust the loop' pitch as well as process it through a filter section and various Scatter types that slice and warp individual steps. Using the large comfortable controls or standard 1/8" patch cables, you can independently control the Scatter type and depth, pitch, filter, sync trigger and Scatter on/off toggle. Both the Scatter Depth and Scatter Type parameters have input level controls for adjusting the modulation range when controlled from an external source. Two inputs and two outputs make SCOOPER a stereo-capable, 24bit/96kHz audio interface for Eurorack systems, and AIRA Link USB compatibility gives it single-cable, plug and play connectivity with the MX-1 Mix Performer.

Reprogrammable via Mac, PC, iOS, Android application
While it sounds great out of the box, you can fully customize SCOOPER' internal signal path by re-patching its array of virtual sub-modules via a custom application that works on Mac and PC as well as iOS and Android devices. Submodules are re-patched through a simple and intuitive drag and drop interface that even lets you choose which parameters are assigned to the high-resolution œGRF knobs. You can reprogram SCOOPER in realtime via USB connection or save and recall patches with a simple audio signal. You can even share patches with other SCOOPER users.
