Do you find looping recorder useful

Do you find the looping recorder useful?

In my opinion it's too limited to be very useful and an external looper (like Boss RE20) is a better alternative. Especially since you can then use the MPC1000 more freely simultaneously .

I'd be happy to lose it for other functionality.

it does not really work that way.

Well please enlighten us to why this is, if you could thanks.

torsig1967 thats pretty lame to ask about a feature being removed yet do not have a single feature to ADD?? wtf come on son. bad form IMO, other people use it.
Not me like, but people do.

Not that I agree with torsig1967. I mean I never use the looper myself but do see it being used by others, so understand it being there. But not pong. And that would be in the same vain as torsig1967, inso much as I see very valuable resources, which I might add, the lack of these is used as a reason all the time, to say things can not be improved. HUH?? What? No I don't believe it, sorry. make it more open please to all. Make it open to us the users, the supporters, the buyers, the people using it. get it ?
Hear me Nym pass that on yeah. . . .
Other wise I am gonna be one hella cranky old man till I get just a couple of small improvements that make it so much better as a stand alone sequencer/sampler. Please tell me what I have to do to convince you, muria and et al that there are solid reasons for some queries requests, and just getting flogged off with the same excuse does not help, when pong is still in there.
Where is the respect for me as a user? Respect goes both ways and all I do is support JJOS, so dont think reading this I do not like JJOS, and if you have not got JJOSXL, then get it, but still, Im not sure the resources are really used to there full potential if pong fits in it. I know its small, but still

the os is not a jar full of marbles, where in order to put more in, you have to remove others. that's just not how it works (and has been the case since os2).

I haven't been on this forum in a while and logged in just to say YES! it is useful. For someone who sequences external synths back into the MPC I mode over to loop rec, hit REC and it records the loop. That easy.

I really like the looper. For some reason I have a harder time trying to get a smooth loop on it than my KP3... Still great tool though.

Here's a feature I'd like more:

I've posted others before.

The point being that you can record and playback at the same time? Really not a loop thing but I can see that being useful as you describe. I guess that's not possible using the ordinary record function.

i find by doing that you need to let your synth run 2 bars before you record as it has a tendency to cut the first note, or at least come with a half attack.......

I DO use the loop mode for recording bass guitar / percussioin / live instruments as its the easiest way for me to capture it, assign it to pad (straight after you record) and then sequence the loop, mute the audio track and carry on.

its the start point of my loops, i could sit in record mode all day recording my mate play a bass guitar, but having it all playing at once and in time is key for me, as i know in that audio sample, 00.00 is really 00.00 - the start point, where as if you record in record mode like you do samples, the start point wont be clearly defined (yeh i get it wont record until a signal is put though it, but even that i think has a slight 2ms delay or something)

What i would like, is to be able to count in record in record mode, so go into record mode, and instead of analogue or digital, have "loop" and then once the record mode is set to loop, be able to record and stop using the play and stop control buttons rather than the f1 keys.....

but thats just me

Apparently, it appears that many other do.

Not sure what you mean. That's a feature request for a functionality that isn't about looping really but about capturing samples on the fly while listening.

For some reason the poster suggest to implement it on the loop page though. Could be implemented elsewere too.

yeah like in the record screen der!
So all the loopheads are in then, good to see.
I am ok now I have had a cup of tea and a lie down. Though came up with another request using the mp today.

I find it too limited to be of use. It's like a tease. It could be good, but in its current state its not. It feels like it was half baked and then abandoned.
Pretty poor, cos realtime looping with a few abilities would be very nice.

i ve tried to use the looper, but my MPC would hang
and crash totally ... so i've lost the track ive been working on
is looper crash bug finally resolved in the last update?

You should always be up to date! Including the free JJOS as well, if you use JJOSXL, as it is part of it to.
I can not comment really but seems stable to me. Its got a lock out feature now, so will not be able to be activated whilst MPC sequencer is playing. This stops any crashing happening. Same should be done to save and load screen to IMO> makes total sense, and makes it bullet proof during live play. Don't you guys think so?
