Happy 2024 all!
Just adding my looper wishes here now that I've realized we have a wish list forum. I'd love for the looper to behave a little closer to looping in Ableton live. Specifically:
1. Fixed Length Looping: This means you can set a certain number of bars for the loop length and only press the record button once; you don't have to stop recording at the end of the loop. The hardware already knows how long to record, because you set the loop time to 2/4/etc bars. At the end of the loop record time, the hardware stops recording at the appropriate time and begins playback. This feature would be slaved to the midi clock/internal tempo, but would be difficult to use if the metronome was not audible. (I have my metronome routed to out2 and sent to my in-ears.)
2. Metronome sync: It would be killer if we could press the play button any time before the next downbeat, and it would play back from the beginning of the loop, on the downbeat of the next bar. (or possibly, at the beginning of the next 2/4/etc bar phrase if #1 above is also implemented.)
We can get at some of these currently by doing things like bypassing the looper rather than starting/stopping playback, and recording an empty bar as the first loop and stacking layers on top of that, but these workarounds don't get all the way there, and to me, it would make the looper much more useable if the above were implemented.
