Track selection/looper

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew a way to select a track with a button, THEN use the same button to engage a device parameter, but only after the track is selected.

I have a Nektar Pacer set up so the bottom 6 foot switches can select tracks and the same switches are mapped to the looper multi button. At the moment, recording begins on selection. I would like to be able to select the track and only engage the looper following the track selection.

Sorry for repeating myself. I’m new to Remotify, so still getting my head around it all!

Cheers.

Hi smunday,
I did not read the second part of your original post well enough, so I only answered the first part, I’m sorry for that.

If I understand it correctly, you first want to select a track to record to by tapping a foot pedal and then tap a second time on the same foot pedal to start recording (so activating the looper multi-button)

There might be another simpler way, but here is what I got this far..
So then you would need 7 modes;

  • “Mode 1” when pressing a pedal, it arms a track and another mode is chosen depending on track you have chosen.
  • “Mode 2” is the looper multi-button for track 1 (pedal 1).
  • “Mode 3” is the looper multi-button for track 2 (pedal 2).
  • “Mode 4” is the looper multi-button for track 3 (pedal 3).
  • “Mode 5” is the looper multi-button for track 4 (pedal 4).
  • “Mode 6” is the looper multi-button for track 5 (pedal 5).
  • “Mode 7” is the looper multi-button for track 6 (pedal 6).

Once in modes 2 to 7 you will need to be able to arm other tracks. When you are for instance in Mode 2 and press pedal 3, it should arm track 3 and change to “Mode 4”.

I can imagine it is a little overwhelming.
Some tutorials that I recommend:

4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYApczPkvm0
5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSfaVfDqt7M

After watching and trying out those tutorials, things will make more sense. I know it did for me! 😉

I also prepared a script for three foot pedals (which I haven’t tested with a looper yet), just so you can have a look around.

Good luck!
