Multi-loop

[gi0e5b06]

Hi,

It would be nice to have multiple loops. Practical while editing and quite necessary in Live. Not finished (no controller for now but you can "play" with your computer keyboard A-H). The end goal is to use a launchpad (or the pads of your midi controller). So 8 loops. Multiloop_20170712.zip Sincerely, G. PS: Don't look at the code, it's a 2-hour hack (and I have no knowledge of Qt). But it works ;)

Well, this make using PC keyboard as midi controller completly useless. It's something good for launchpad users and for live perfomance.

@qnebra How? The mapping could be easily changed. In fact, the goal is to have the loops midi-controlled. So you can configure your keyboard the way you want. But I understand what you mean here, about having a keyboard that behaves like a piano and controls the loops (or anything else) with other keys.

Loops are now correctly saved and restored. I kept the attributes lp0pos and lp1pos for backward-compatibility with the old releases of Lmms (1.2 and before).

Some new automatable buttons, midi-mappable to the pads (for example). When playing, the pads let you choose the next loop. When editing, jump at the beginning of the selected loop. Green is the current loop, blue the next one, red the other available ones.

this -in a way, also has functionality as bookmarks 👍

@gi0e5b06 This is exactly what I'm hoping to do! I have an MPKmini mk2 and want to control multiple loops for live performance. Is the functionality in your screenshot present in your fork? If so, which branch is it?

[PhysSong]

@joshhansen You can try @gi0e5b06's master branch at your own risk. Stability may suffer, and we won't help building @gi0e5b06's fork.

[joshhansen]

@PhysSong I wasn't asking anybody but @gi0e5b06 - I get that unofficial forks aren't supported. It feels like you're trying to discourage me from trying someone else's fork, which I don't understand.

[PhysSong]

@joshhansen I know, but @gi0e5b06 have been banned from this tracker. It's a bit hard to explain why I'm discouraging you from trying @gi0e5b06's fork. However, the fork isn't maintained well and looks more like a repository for personal use. Of course, you can still use the fork if you still want.

@PhysSong Got it, thanks
