ricksteruk Just looked through the forthcoming Midi bindings list (http://forum.grouptheloop.com/index.php?p=/discussion/99/midi-bindings-suggestions-welcome) and I wonder if the "Fade" option you can set to certain loops will address this?
Jack @ricksteruk, thanks for pointing this out. yes currently GTL disables the effects as soon as the group switches in order to save processing power. I will experiment with delaying this to allow for fx tails. Hopefully this won't spike the cpu too much when effects from the new group kick in. I really like the idea of being able to adjust the crossover for switching between groups, especially useful for ambient stuff. I'll add it to the list, it's very long now :) after I get this next update out we'll open a poll to try and work out which features to focus on next.

Afraid not, fade will simply fade out the selected loop over a duration.
ricksteruk I was playing a really ambient sounding piece today with sustained String and Organ pads looped and also lashings of GTLs Chathedral reverb on top of that. I noticed that when I changed from Group1 to Group2 the change was rather abrupt - it slightly spoiled the vibe. My first thought was: "Oh yeah when the string pad stops at the end of the loop that will be a bit abrupt.. of course it will sound a bit cut off"... and then "I must ask Jack if he's though about the idea of a allowing the option for a longer x fade at the end of groups"... this would be useful when you want a tune to fade out at the end instead of stopping abruptly as well.) My second thought was: "Hmm I wonder if the reverb sustains at the group changeovers.. maybe I can add even more cathedral reverb to the pad loops to smooth out the changes". ... .. So i just tried it and the reverb and delay stops immediately when you change groups. So @Jack .. sorry to pester you again..... 1) what do you think about allowing an "attack / release" setting for a loop so that it wouldn't stop or start immediately. 2) any chance the FX, (reverb and delay) can carry on after the loop swaps to the other group??
