Looper with more than 2 channels in a Mainstage track?

Post by Knorm »

I just found out we can make loopers with more than 2 channels. But how does one use this in Mainstage since the tracks there on have 2?
(Really hoping this is not a really dumb question.)

The best guess I can give there is that SL has 2 inputs and 2 outputs that it gives to Mainstage. So everything SL gets comes and goes in those 2 channels.
Can't really help there since I don't have Mainstage...

A single SooperLooper loop can have more than 2 ins and outs if you create a custom loop. Just not sure how to map those via one channel in Mainstage (or any DAW for that matter).

Yeah, that feature was primarily useful if you use SL with JACK... it doesn't have any use with the AU plugin version...
