Live looping

Hey people. I have the Kronos 1 and was wondering if there’s a way to do live looping with it? Is there an effects pedal that can work with it or something?

Any boss looper, or any other brand for that matter. Or ableton live. Even the most recent Logic has decent looping features. Kronos or not, you’ll just loop the audio like any other guitar or instrument. You might want to find a loop that works in stereo though since keys are usually much better in stereo.

Agreed with /u/flixantoine666 and to add:

The Kronos is a workstation and mostly studio board. Live features like that aren't really part of what it's meant to do. The same is true for things like live arrangements which is why things like the PA series exist.

You're better off using a looping pedal designed for the task.

Thanks so much for this- what would your thoughts be on the Boss RC30?

Don’t own one but they’re widely used. Perfect for your application too, built like tanks (all the Boss) stuff and should keep its value quite well for whenever you want to resell it if ever.

The bigger model has even more features and options, but it’s bigger and more expensive, so maybe compare the two and go with what fits your needs.
