Hello everyone,
To my surprise, the idea I try and describe below has apparently not been discussed in the forums.
I want to control mainstage's loopers and Loopy Pro (separately) with a single pedal.
I own a Harley-Benton MP100 (MeloAudio MidiCommander clone) and a Behringer FCB-1010.
My purpose is to reduce the tap dance, mostly to avoid having to switch banks in the middle of a performance.
I intend to control three separate loops.
Mainstage and Loopy Pro allow multiple parallel or successive loops, depending on each loop's settings.
Mapping a PC message to each of Play, Rec and Stop, etc. is easy and works fine. And easily uses up one entire bank on these pedalboards for 3 loops...
Most hardware loopers I previously owned feature a single pedal button for these operations.
The first press records, the second one starts playing the loop in overdub mode, and a third or long press will stop the loop (more or less, YMMV).
This is the behaviour I want to replicate with a single pedal / button from either footboard in order to become able to control several loops at once.
Even if two pedals were required (with a separate one for undo/redo) for each loop, this would allow to control three loops from 6 buttons, leaving two buttons free for different assignments on the MP100 and 4 on the FCB1010.
And I cannot figure out how tp achieve this "alternating" behaviour for the life of me, I guess I never was enough of a programmer.
How do I keep track of the number of presses on the given pedal with StreamByter?
Should I define variables for each "function" (Rec., Play/Overdub, Stop, Undo, Redo) or use an array?
Also, how do I make Mainstage the MIDI destination?
Can anyone help ?
