2 tap record & play with stacking active

While the Rang™ III can go directly from recording a loop to playing with stacking active, it is currently a 3 tap process involving one of the Bonus Buttons. It goes like this:
Tap loop button – recording starts
Tap Bonus button to select Stack – Stack light blinks
Tap loop button – recording concludes, playback begins and Stacking is 
active

Several customers have requested a more streamlined approach, so I’m going to outline a few methods and ask that y’all let me know which is the most appealing.

1) Press a loop button to begin recording… if the button is held down for 1 second then released, the second tap of that loop button will conclude recording and begin playback with Stack active. If a loop button is tapped and quickly released, the second tap will conclude recording and begin playback without Stacking; this is identical to the current behavior.

2) Rather than being the permanent behavior of the III, number 1 would be an Optional Behavior that the user can turn on and off.

3) Tap a loop button to begin recording; the second tap will conclude recording and begin playback with Stack active. With this design, holding the loop button down does nothing. This will definitely be an Optional Behavior that the user can turn on and off.

4) We could change the Stack behavior so that the following would occur. Tap a loop button to begin recording; tap Stack (Bonus button) to conclude recording and begin playback with Stack active. Tapping the loop button a second time would conclude recording and begin playback without Stacking. This will definitely be an Optional Behavior that the user can turn on and off. NOTE – for this to work well, one Bonus button would have to be assigned to Stack only. It couldn’t rigger two functions as the Bonus buttons normally do.
