«Looping Station» by rukano

on 10 Feb'12 19:42 in looper

GUI for recording and playing quantized loops. If you change the tempo, hit on refresh. You can change the output bus for the click (first variable declared) If you have troubles with the font, change it to a font you might have installed, I'm using: Synchro LET You might use MIDI responders to activate the buttons, but you have to write that yourself.

Execute, record, play, have fun

nice useful

really nice! though it breaks when the server is not booted before running. reload_func should be changed to waitForBoot

rukano ↪ user 11 Feb'12 15:07

changed, thanks!

Super nice and useful!!!!
