Looper glitch upgrading to 2.60

[philspencer]

Is it just me or has the 6 switch looper changed functionality after the update?

 

I used to be able to record a loop, exit the looper, add a new effect, go back into the looper and overdub the new effect all the while the loop was still playing.

 

Now when I exit the Looper and go back into it, when I hit record it starts a whole new recording and deletes anything I'd previously looped??

Just posted asking  if someone was having this issue.

Yup! Happens to me too.

I emailed support about it. They said that's just how the looper works currently and that I should try the one switch looper instead. Not a glitch... Just kind of annoying and not at all practical. I went back to using an external looper (pigtronix infinity).

Ah thanks for your reply. Yeah I've tried the one switch looper but it isn't quite as good.  I just liked the option of being able to go back and add effects and loop those, there doesn't seem to be any benefit of getting rid of that feature?

I don't understand what feature you're saying was removed. The 6-button loop behaves the same way now as it always has.

 

In the first post, you say you leave looper mode while the loop is still playing, turn effects on, and then go back into looper mode... That still works for me. It will only erase the original loop if you stop playback before leaving looper mode. I just tried it, and everything is working as expected.

That's strange. And you have updated to 2.60? Yes it used to work like that but now if you go out of it and back into it with the loop still playing.. the record scribble strip changes from saying overdub to nothing and will start recording a new loop even if the old one is playing

I'm on 2.60, yes... Was this an existing patch that had the original looper block in it? If so, it might be worth deleting that block and putting a new 6-Button Looper block back in.

 

I tried it multiple ways - staying in overdub mode while exiting looper mode, stopping the recording (loop still playing) while exiting, and it worked as expected in all cases. So I'm not sure. If you haven't opened a ticket, you should. If you're experiencing something weird, it would be good to track it down.

Hmm yes it is an old patch..i swapped it for a 1 switch and swapped back and it still did it.  I shall try it in a brand new patch and if the problem persists I'll contact them! 

 

Thanks
