Templates:One Button Record, Peel, Stop

From Loopy Pro Wiki

This project demonstrates how to set up tap, double-tap, and hold bindings without needing to use the defer action option as described in the MIDI bindings tech note.

In order to have tap, double-tap and hold be executed without delaying the tap action, the the double-tap and hold actions start with an action to undo the tap action (record).

The bindings are set up as follows:

  • Tap (on): record/stop selected clip
  • Double-tap:
    • stop record (selected clip) to stop the recording triggered by the tap
    • peel (selected clip)
  • Hold:
    • stop record (selected clip) to stop the recording triggered by the tap
    • Stop (Play) (selected clip)

IMPORTANT SETTINGS! In order for these bindings to work the Preempt Other Action option are turned off in all of the record and play bindings. The record count-in/count-out for overdub is set to none. If you do not want the main overdub count-out to be none, edit the stop record actions to use none as the record count-in/out.

Notice that when you double-tap or hold, the clip will momentarily appear to be recording until the main action (peel or stop) is acted. Loopy Pro automatically undoes the false recording.
