Beat buddy for layering sessions
Loopers have experienced a surge in popularity in recent years, and the Yuer XS-04 Looper & Drum combines both a phrase looper and drum computer in a single compact pedal housing. Essentially, a looper is a specialised recording device that enables users to create their own accompaniment by stacking phrases, or "loops". Although designed as a stereo device, the Yuer XS-04 can also be used with pure mono signals – such as an electric guitar or an electric bass. The Yuer XS-04 Looper & Drum provides 100 different drum grooves to accompany layering sessions, together with a total memory time of 160 minutes. The loop sessions can be saved in 40 presets, with four minutes of recording capacity assigned to each memory slot. As many loops as required can be layered within any preset, regardless of the storage capacity.

40 songs in a single unit!
The Yuer XS-04 Looper & Drum can be used as a pure phrase looper, as a drum machine, or – most interestingly – as a combined looper and drum machine, offering extensive versatility. The modules can be synchronised by simply pressing the "Merge" button. An automatic counter and a small display complete with convenient circular progress indicator help to guide the user through the recording process, while two encoders in the form of rotary knobs allow the parameters and volume of the respective "loop" or "drum module" to be adjusted accordingly. The two foot switches are used to control the recording, overdub, and delete functions, with the left switch also allowing the desired playback tempo of the drum grooves to be "tapped in". The loop results can be backed up externally via a USB-C port and a "loop management" app on the user's computer – a method that can also be used to copy pre-prepared loops or playbacks to the pedal!

Allowing drummers to get creative
There is of course something more fun than practising with a metronome - playing with a band, of course! Featuring a drum module with 100 different drum grooves covering ten different musical styles, each with ten groove variations, the Yuer XS-04 Looper & Drum is a music partner that just keeps on giving. A metronome capable of delivering irregular 5/8, 7/8, 9/8, or 11/8 beats is also available for added creativity. The Yuer XS-04 features stereo inputs and outputs; a mono signal is connected to the left input channel in the usual way. Storage takes place digitally, with the signal converted at a sample rate of 44.1kHz and 24-bit dynamic resolution. At a high one megaohm, the input impedance of the Yuer XS-04 Looper & Drum allows even acoustic guitars with piezo pickups to be connected without any loss of sound. The Yuer XS-04 Looper & Drum requires a 9VDC/500mA power supply, which is not included in the scope of delivery.

Rhythm trainer and automatic accompaniment
The somewhat modest appearance of the Yuer XS-04 Looper & Drum belies its extensive benefits in everyday practice. Whether players are practising solos to self-composed chord progressions, playing riffs up front to match the appropriate drum groove, or transferring pre-prepared loop playbacks to the Yuer XS-04 Looper & Drum via the app, this unit allows them to build a complete band playback in a flash! Since loops inherently expose even the slightest timing weaknesses, the user's sense of rhythm is sharpened along the way. Entirely new creative worlds open up on stage with the Yuer XS-04 Looper & Drum, building solo performances from a grooving drum beat and producing a musical accompaniment layer by layer. The option to connect a second foot switch to the Yuer XS-04 for switching presets and drum grooves will also prove very practical for live use on stage!
