Re: LG Victory Dance, and A Question

hi Phil,

:-) congrats
....so just loop and forget this question


it's *possible* to program the LG's LEDs to do what you want,
in the latest hardware/firmware version.

Indeed someone on the LG list implemented something along those lines
for a much simpler looper in order to have an led on during record

Xavier suggested:
******************************

Again for the same example, the Play stompbox could contain an 
ActivateEffect message which switches the Record stompbox off. The result 
is the same as solution above, except that the Record switch is now a 
stomp with steady on/off LED, instead of a momentary with blinking/off LED.
*******************************

...but that's a fix for a much simpler problem

...and you're basically on a loser if you ever want to use more than one 
loop.

Copying the logic of the edp into the LG could conceivably work, as the LG
has conditional statements and variables.

...but as the edp's buttons are multifunction, and as the overdub state is
one of the things that's saved with each individual loop, that's a whole 
lot of programming.

I just use momentaries.
