Linking 2 Aeros Loop Studios together

Aeros Loop Studio Help, Questions and Bugs
1

I find that only having 2 discrete Aeros audio outputs is a serious limitation. If I send my guitar output to a guitar amp and my bass to a bass amp, I am out of outputs. If i chained two aeros units together, however, it seems as though I’d get two extra channels for vocals, keyboards, etc, which I could run into a PA or studio monitors.

I notice that the Sheeran Looper X has 4 discrete audio outs, and this is tempting, though it only has a total of 4 tracks, which is much less flexible than the Aeros 6 track/6 part schema.

Soooo … I’m wondering is anyone out there is using two Aeros units chained together? Any tricks to doing this? Any drawbacks? What is the user experience like? How is the Beatbuddy best integrated in a system like this? As a master, or slave?

Also, I have a MIDI Maestro as well, and wonder if the “Aeros mode” would be essentially unusable if I chained 2 Aeros together … seems like the Maestro would be delivering the same commands to 2 Aeros units at the same time, which is unhelpful. Would I need to essentially set up custom programming on the Maestro to discretely cointrol each Aeros unit? Anyone out there ever do (or contemplate) this?

Thanks for any thoughts you might have.

My suggestion is a mixer before the Aeros, to enable 4 or more inputs. I bought a Behringer for cheap. Then, output into a PA or full range combo. My logic was more flexibility was needed on inputs, not outs. I have two guitars, keys and sax/harps going.

Actually, I am using a mixer for inputs now. It’s the output channels that matter to me. I want bass to go to a bass amp only, guitar to go to a guitar amp only, and voice/keys to go to a PA or studio monitors. so I need 4 output channels.

Have you checked out the MIDI chapters in the manual?

MIDI & The Aeros

• The Aeros can be receiver (slave) to another device and follow incoming
clock
• The Aeros can be transmitter (master) and send out its own internal clock
and commands
• The Aeros will respond to MIDI commands that can change its behavior
• The Aeros can filter and turn off what commands it receives and sends

For sure, I read that. I have zero doubt it is possible to link 2 Aeros units. I what I am interested in is hearing from anyone who has done it, and to collect any tips/advice on how to do it practically.
