One-cycle record

[stuart]

Hello again

I was wondering if it is possible with SooperLooper to trigger a loop to record for just one cycle. For example, if quantise is set to 'loop', you could press a key to start recording, pickup a guitar while the loop is waiting to sync, start playing at the start of the cycle and then have record stop automatically once the sync loop has finished playing. I can see how this isn't such an issue with pedals, all though it would save you one press I guess.

Regards,
Stuart

Nope, you can't do this with one press in SL right now. Even if this was possible, and you were recording the first loop, you'd at least need to pre-specify the tempo and sync to Internal (or Jack/Host) otherwise it would have no idea how long a loop was supposed to be! If you already had something going in a loop, you would set sync source to be that loop and start your quantized record on a different loop. I will consider adding a record_one_cycle and/or record_one_loop commands in the future, I can see their usefulness. Double/triple/etc tapping them could extend it.

Or one day, I will add a notion of making custom script commands like Mobius has.
