footswitch

I have read the manual and played around with it, but is there a footswitch position that lets me start the sequence and if I step on it again, takes me back to the top of the sequence? I know there is one that lets me stop and start, but never gets me back to the top. thanks

Set it to play start... I think.

In this mode, it just continues from where you stopped, does not recycle back to top. thanks

uhh go figger... what does it do when you hit the play start button? does it start over or continue from the last point in your sequence...

I don't know which OS you are running, but the latest JJ edition allows both PLAY and PLAY START as footswitch options. I just checked and it does indeed do what it says on the screen. However, you do need a second footswitch for STOP if you use those options. The PLAY/STOP option only continues the way you described. I can't find a PLAY START/STOP option to use with a single footswitch, which is kinda silly, but that's all it's got at the moment.

I had an idea.
If you sample the whole sequence and assign the sample to a pad as note on?
It's half what you want. because you have to hold the pedal.

I was wondering if a momentary switch would do the job.
If there is a kind of footswitch that holds the action when you just
press it and when you press it again is like you release a pad.

Any ideas?

i need a mode to switch overdub ON/OFF with footswitch without start playing the sequence

Has anyone tried BOSS fs-5l footswitch to play pads.
I think it might be the solution to the problem of a looped sampled that you
have to hold the pad on note on mode.

I mean it's a latching switch and not momentary like the fs-5u.
Haven;t tried it but i think it works different than a pad.
You step on it is on step again is off. Not momentary.
