Multiple outputs would be great...but a pan control for the metronome would suffice in the short term. AFAIK, there's no way to separate the metronome from the looper output. Am I missing something?

Jack

Hi @Iyounkins, glad you like GTL! Can you explain more about your double-tap for Trigger type idea?

Ah, pan on the metronome, good idea. I'll add that in the next update :).

Hmm 6 buttons... It depends on what you need. I prefer the group based approach.

Record/Overdub - Loop 1 in selected group.
Record/Overdub - Loop 2 in selected group.
Record/Overdub - Loop 3 in selected group.
Record/Overdub - Loop 4 in selected group.
Select Previous Group
Select Next Group

If you have a controller which supports note on/off you can make use of the hold function for extra options. e.g. Hold button 6 for Play/Stop Session.

Another approach would be to make use of the "Confine Selection To" option for the "Select Next Loop" binding. This would allow you to cycle through the 4 loops in the selected group with one pedal.

Record/Overdub - Selected loop.
Mute - Selected Loop.
Select Next Loop - Set the "Confine Selection To:" option to "Selected Group".
Select Next Group.
Play/Stop Selected Group
Play/Stop Session

Hi Jack, Thanks for your reply and suggestions for MIDI bindings. The double-tap option is something that's available in Quantiloop and would be useful for GTL as well. There are 3 button actions that can be assigned in Quantiloop: Tap, Hold and Double Tap (two taps is short succession). For example, the Tap action can be assigned to record/play/overdub a track depending on its current state. Hold action to undo/redo/clear and Double-Tap to stop the track. This economizes the number of buttons required to operate the looper. I hope that makes sense...

Jack

Thanks for clearing that up @[deleted]. It's a good idea. I just need to work out how to apply it. For example, we want to avoid triggering a single tap action, such as record, if we are actually trying to trigger the double tap action, which could be to stop the track.

@Jack. I like the ability to rename groups. It’s really helpful when using the go to file at the bottom. Kind of an interem song mode for me. When I rename the Master Group and switch sessions it always reverts back to Master Group. Is this this expected behavior?

Jack

@Ben, thanks for pointing this out. I never intended for the master group to be renamed. It sounds like there is a bug somewhere here. If you think naming the master group would be useful then I’ll add it in the next update.

Cheers

Cheers I would like that if it isn’t a great deal of trouble. Certainly not at the top of the list of requests but it would help to identify the project when you open GTL.

First of all, thanks for the excellent work on the GTL app! I'd like to request double-tap as an option for Trigger Type in addition to the existing Tap and Hold options. Double-tap and hold would also be useful (hold following 2nd tap). I'm having a bit of difficulty coming up with a workable setup using a 6-button MIDI foot controller. Some example configurations would be great.
