First loop with precise length in bars

Post by stefan »

Hi all,

I wonder, if there is a way to start a looping session with a first loop that has a precise length of say 8 bars while using input threshold to trigger the loop.
The point is, if I trigger the recording by input threshold, I can't quantise the final end of the recording to e.g. the cycle length, because I have to switch off the sync option for this loop to use threshold triggering.
If I use the sync option, I am not able to start the loop by input threshold.
Is there a way to achieve the desired behaviour: start the loop by threshold and sync the end of recording to an exact loop length quantised in bars?
I tried to record a loop of 120 BPM from my Korg Kaossilator into SL and gave up, because it was impossible to start and stop recording in a way that the loop was running 'round'.

Thanks for hints and comments,

Stefan

You've discovered a bug, in that threshold recording seems to be ignored when quantize and sync is enabled on the loop. Otherwise, just turning on 'rel sync' along with quantize and sync should have let you do the initial threshold record and end rounding out to the loop length.

Thanks for finding it, I will try to resolve it.
