Hi everyone. I am something like a musician, but I also like to experiment with electronics a lot.
I own a BOSS looper pedal, but it kinda doesn't fit my needs as well as I firstly thought. Recent days I was thinking abou whether is possible to somehow utilize some sort of MCU or just some ARM solution, doesn't really matter, that would be able to real-time record a high quality audio (16bit depth, <40KHz sample rate, mono, ideally up to 16 seconds) and then playing it back instantly at the same speed. My idea is to have like 8 of those modules and record separate loops that would be triggered at some point by the sequencer.
My idea is to have some processor with sufficient frequency to record the audio and store it in it's RAM and then just burst it out, either with it's own or some external DAC.
So my final question is: Do you think this is even possible or Am I just too silly thinking that I can do this thing more cheapely than BOSS for example with their giant loop pedals that will cost you both of your kidneys?
Thank you for any kind of response, if somebody has any experience with what I'm trying to do, just let me know, I will appreciate any materials provided.
