Sounds like we understand each other pretty well .... here is a breakdown of A->B vs. Serial loops .... Suppose you have a bank of loops ........... say we record three .... 1 2 3 4 5 A A A - - So that’s three loops ... in slots 1,2,3 ... Now, lets say that 1 and 3 are quick little drum rhythms ... But 2 is a verse lick ..... but the song has a chorus riff too ..... So I hit the A-B button on loop 2 ..... the drums keep playing and I record the chorus riff ..... 1 2 3 4 5 A B A - - loops 1 and 3 are still playing with but I have turned 2A off and replaced it with a newly record 2B (chorus lick). Hit A-B again and I go back to the verse riff .... drums remain the same 1 2 3 4 5 A A A - - Aha .... but there is a problem!! See this song is kinda weird and has a bridge part that doesn't conform to the same rhythm ... it suddenly changes to 3/4 ...... so I need to drop the rhythm tracks and record a new part with it's own timing. Now I could do this by turning everything off ... and hitting record on an unsynced loop at the same time .... but I want to be able to smoothly transition to from this bridge loop ..... This is where serial record is handy. I turn on serial recording, and hit the record button on loop 5 .... the program waits until the next master repeat boundary and then turns all the loops off and begins recording on track 5. Once I've finished recording the serial loop I have .... 1 2 3 4 5 -a -a -a - S The three little -a's are to indicate that there are loops there but they are not playing ...... When I want to go back to the bank of parallel loops I just tap any of them, and the program transitions from playing the serial loop back to playing the three parallel loops .... and turns the serial off .....
