Retrospective Looper

First Attempt at a retrospective looper in Drambo. ⚠️ Feedback Warning: use with headphones on!
Tap any of the four track pads to trigger the capture and looping playback of the last bar.
The four instances seem not to bother Drambo’s use of CPU on iPhone Pro 12. I doubt eight would an issue either.

The lessons learned have been like drinking through a fire hydrant. Any advice on how to better handle the functionality in this one would be greatly appreciated.

    What a crazy patch! Well done.
    As for suggestions and improvements, there’s a long pending feature request to allow for p-locking the record/clear/remove controls in Flexi. Once implemented, it will make such projects *much* easier to build, as Flexi can record precisely at bar boundaries, it just can’t be automated yet.

    Thanks for the feedback! Glad to hear the updates will add some features should make this easier. I’m still in love with retrospective looping since I used one via the Endlesss iOS app.
    How do you get precise bar boundaries with flexi as is?

    Just use these settings for recording: Rec sync=pattern and sync=8 bars for example.
    If your pattern is at least 8 bars long, you can arm REC and it will start recording at the next bar boundary. Hit Rec again before the 8 bars have passed and it will stop exactly at the next 8 bar boundary.
    You can MIDI map REC, Monitor, Clear and Remove already.

    Ah! That helps. I struggled with how to set the total length of the recording on all the flexi samplers so much so that I ended up seeding the sampler with a silent loop to keep from needing more complicated methods of initializing the length of loop. Didn’t know what sync to pattern did. Thanks!
