I just got the HD500 and was playing with the looper for the first time.  I like that I can loop whatever and switch patches to play on top of it.  I'm wondering if it's possible to have a patch turn off the looper though?

 

Let's say I am playing a loop.

I change to patch mode

change patches

Play some lead or whatever.

 

Now the next part of the song is coming up and I need to:

Change back to looper mode

Hit Stop

Change back to patch mode

Hit patch D or whatever...

That's gonna' be pretty hard to do in the second before the song needs to change. 

 

Is there a way I can set a patch to have a "looper carryover" or something, then I could have some patches that I can switch to and keep the loop going, but have other patches that silence the looper when selected.

 

I suppose this will need to be a feature request.

Unfortunately, that last part is correct.  It'd have to be an option, b/c I think many of us who use the loop don't want to deactivate it by changing patches - that's part of the cool thing about it!  Dial up a bass patch, lay down a bass line.  Pull up a vocal patch, do a little **** or beatbox, then pull up the guitar patches and layer away...

I agree, If you're playing by yourself you're going to want to be able to leave the looper on.  However, I hope to use it to add extra parts to our live show that my singer can't play and sing.  As a result, I'll need a quick way to stop the looper and change to the next patch at the same time so I can make the next change.  So an option per patch to stop or carry the looper would be the practical solution.
