Ability to create 12 loops seems to work ok but i dont see a great advantage for 12 loop points when they cant be easily manipulated or recognized as they are too small sections even on an Ipad, But perhaps on the IMac it probably would work and if its a longer song it might be usefull, it doasnt bother me at all as i can only use what i need so its fine but just pointing it out. Love it.
Loop editor
What needs improvement is when entering loop editor the loops should be coloured as the choices you have made for them so you can see the colour choices without having to enter every loop to see its colour, this would be very usefull when adding new loops or rearranging loops ,
as i said before when in play mode a loop should play through so if you have selected another loop it does not immidiately jump to it , it plays to the end of now playing loop than jumps to new selection allowing you to test the transition.
Foot pedal operation.
I have just noticed a long press on the foot pedal actualy auto sequences through all the loops , now this seems a good idea but is not practical as it moves too fast through the loops and if you have a larger number of loops you really cant use this sucessfully on stage specially cause you cant see the names of loops as the regions are too small so you dont really know when to let go of the pedal. If the speed was decreased it might work but then you might as well hit the button yourself a number of times to get there, as it might be safer than going fast in auto than having to do it again because you missed the loop you wanted.
Perhaps a better way would be if you had foot control to go back and forth just like selecting songs, i know it means another switch but it might be worth the conveniance if relying heavily on loops.
I still think a more worth while command is better to have like long press cancels any selection, as you can easily step through a few loops so why have an automated search that doasnt work well as a second method when you most likely be in a situation where you just want to exit any new selections quickly and at the moment if you have 12 loops and you have chosen wrong loop you have no quick exit strategy, to me i might use 7 to 8 loops at the most, i can get to them acurately by a few foot presses and if i do stuff it up i can long press and no one is the wiser the show goes on, but if i have stuffed it and than have to scroll to end of all loops then perhaps gone one step too many presto i am in an embarrasing position repeating the intro , id much rather long press and cancle the loop jump to keep the song runing smoothly.
IDEA!
Perhaps slow down the auto scroll with long press and introduce a quick double tap to exit selection.
The only way to see is to try.
