Re: MainStage Looper (screenshot)



Per,
Interesting to see you back with Mainstage. I have fallen in love  
with the application. I just got a Godin Multiac Spectrum to take  
advantage of those beautiful instruments. I am having trouble using  
any sort of beats though. I have been experimenting with sending  
either ultrbeat or stylus into a sooperlooper loop. Its a bit of an  
adventure and not entirely consistent. I would rather have Stylus  
running at the Set Level, but then I can't get the software  
instruments to work. Its a work in progress, but I think Mainstage  
will inevitably become the way to go. It sounds so good.

Chris
