Stacking bindings in Mainstage is possible

Post by Stavros »

For those who do not realize it......
You can actually stack bindings in Mainstage...and its easy.....and it works...brilliantly
Mainstage allows multiple mappings to a single button and they appear to execute in sequence correctly.
Just create a button...map it to a binding...click+ to add another mapping and so on.

For example you can create a button to do all of the following in sequence with a single click
While you are recording a loop.....click a button to
1-Trigger currently recording loop ( basically Play current loop)
2-Select next loop
3-Record Selected loop

So you are essentially recoding onto the next loop while the first loop starts playing...with a single click....very useful
(there is a binding for this already in SL Jesse made)

What you CANNOT do is have conditional statements which says...
On click
If loop 1 is in Record
then go into Overdub
and if its in Overdub
then go into Play
etc

Which is why we need some kind of scripting which allows for greater control
Until then....check out SL with Mainstage.
