Re: Controlling nextloop on EDP

NOOOOOO :(

I think I might just give up on trying to get multi-track, controllable loops from the EDP.

I essentially want to do live composition. Build up the layers, then have control over each of them (fade in/out, mute, combine with other loops).

Anything that sends MIDI notes or #CCs can be used to control an EDP.
Best is to use note numbers for looping actions and #CCs for
continuous parameters like volume and feedback.

Not sure but I don't think so. You can only hear one loop at a time so
it wouldn't make much sense.

Do you mean fading out a loop that is not playing? I don't think so.

Well, the only thing I can think of that for an EDP would be to fade
down the volume towards the end of a loop and then switch to a new
loop and fade it back in with that loop spinning.

Bizarre - there can only be one next loop! As only one of the loops in
memory can play back at any given time it is well enough with just one
NextLoop button.
