Frequently Asked Questions
No, the Xero is designed for hands-free operation with its built-in footswitches only.
The Xero's polyrhythmic mode and stereo capabilities offer far more creative control, but the Ditto is more compact and budget-friendly for basic looping needs.
The speed selection offers discrete options (0.5x, 1x, 2x), so it’s not fully free-running, but the reverse function allows for some organic texture manipulation.
