I agree with you and we will find those solutions.
From what I saw the Aeros is able to create your recordings exactly with functions on the press. The problem here is you need the next part feature to be expanded upon to make it possible for it to be done on the press and not require a loop playback. I understand the need for this feature, and I am working with you on a solution that doesn’t require reformatting the entire layout of the machine. While I totally understand the fact that this is an important feature for you, this is not a crucial function for all users.
The Aeros is meant to be a cross roads between synchronized looping and standalone looping, and you are helping to make it that so we very much appreciate your passion and your input.
It’s not really a bug if the machine is meant to work that way, that being said I can see the need for a workaround for the sake of this case. My solution may require two button presses, but it is a solution. MIDI will make it achievable in one press, which as you say will “enhance the experience and provide more freedom”.
We’re working with you guys here, I get your concerns and they are real and valid and heard.
