Hi Pete, I really love the new logic of getting around a song it gives us a lot more freedom to be creative but I found a little glitch and it could be a leftover from when you were experimenting , if you are playing a loop and quick double tap on another region the song jumps to that point on waveform where you double tapped on, it took me a while to realise this unwanted action, I know we talked about double tapping to immediately jump to beginning of next loop and that might be useful but jumping to a place where you tap on is not good as you can end up anywhere plus it is dangerous as you might want to select new region and place a loop on it which means two taps but you end up shifting playhead as well, this is definitely not desired.
I love the fact In stop mode I can select any loop and start from there it’s great freedom, the white playhead line is visible even on iPhone in portrait mode I can bounce around even in that mode with finger touch.
One small request, when you choose next loops and you decide to tap again to put it in permanent loop then if you decide you no longer want that loop so you choose another loop can you make it so the permanent loop selection is also cancelled, because you want to leave this selection uncontaminated the permanent loop was only put there because you were planing to use this loop now that you have changed your mind it also needs to be cleared if you happen to use this loop again you can always reactivate it.
I also have an idea with the foot pedal control which I already mentioned but I just thought it might be useful for both looping foot controls switches,
When selecting loops you don’t have an extra foot hit to clear loops you instead have a long press clears loop selections, this should apply to all permanent loop selections foot switch, if you have pre programmed permanent loops they can be all temporarily cleared by a long foot press but if you long press again they can be put back, this then gives you easier and more powerful control over your performance.
Let’s say it’s a dead crowd and normally you have a permanent loop setup on your solo but you can see this crowd sucks and you don’t want to bore them with it all you need to do is long press your permanent loop foot switch and you are done the song plays as is that’s one example but there are many more scenarios that might require this simple operation.
I really appreciate you making the playlist button a two hit option between songs in playlists and playlists themselves this is so much more convenient thanks.
As you are aware there is one more issue that exists which greatly limits looping playback and that is after you pass the last looping point you can not use the loops again, I don’t know how it can be easily fixed but I had a thought the MIX feature seems to work really well now that we can mix out and cut in to next song, perhaps something similar, I just had a thought, what if a double tap on a next selected loop region initiates an instant play of that loop, meaning you can select a loop you want to go to then double tap on it at a time you want to x to it, this would allow us to leave a non looped area of a song and if it can leave this area on a next beat point meaning it will be in time when joining a loop point.
Just a thought as this is the only bigger problem I can see in loop playback.
Ok bye for now and great work so far ❤️It.
