Hi Brennan I am a newbie here so have patience. Wouldn’t delete last part delete the whole part? For eg; part 3 of 6 in a 6x6?
I am trying to wrap my head around the lack of track deletion. I understand it won’t be a feature that will be added. So I am not asking Lol
What I learned last night is not saving is my friend when there is something I wish to delete. So say if I have 2 tracks in part 1 of a 6x6 that I am happy with I save the song. If then on track 3 I mess it up to the point where I would want to delete the track all I need to do is close the song without saving and then re open the song. That worked for me. Is that a good work around or is there a better option? The long press option just asks me if I want to delete everything
You can delete the last part (all the tracks)with the hands free slide menu
To delete only 1 track you can do this with hold the undo switch, if needed record again over this deleted track, or record and don’t play any sound (this will recorded a track without sound)

True but (regarding soundless track) if a complicated or dense song, then you do waste available memory for that part of song. I tried this pseudo-delete method myself awhile ago and lost time and audio as a result. I heartily second (or whatever) the vote for a true delete function.

May not be the correct topic, but I spent a while looking for something closer…
I really was hoping to be able to edit tracks on this machine. Even something as simple as being able to select and cut out a late start, or to cut out a “count in” so that it starts right on the beat once you have recorded all your tracks would be crucial.
I just got this today and have scoured the manual but haven’t found anything like this.
My goal with this looper is to prerecord a bunch of rhythm parts to play melodies and solo over at a solo guitar gig. I was attracted to the ability to save MANY songs on the pedal (or SD) to have ready without needing the play through a whole progression first before looping.
I’m still getting the hang of the workflow. Definitely agree some things are harder than they seem they should be.
But if I am able to download prerecorded tracks over WiFi, this will be a game changer.

I am having issues trying to record in freeform and auto mode. The levels are reading and i arm the track to record but nothing happens. I checked the threshold. Also saw your post about turning off quantize but dont see that option at all. Running the most recent firmware 5.2.1.
Hi,
Thank you for reaching out! Please send an email to support@singularsound.com. They will be able to assist you more effectively with your recording problems in Freeform and Auto mode, as well as the options regarding quantization.
Okay, thanks.
If there’s not going to be a “Delete Track” feature, can there be a “Replace Track” feature?

I agree! It would be a really great feature to be able to record a brand new track in place of the current one.
There is likely never going to be a delete track command, but there is a Delete Last part option.
I don’t understand why. I can understand not making it a feature that is accessible using footswitch controls, but the touchscreen on the Aeros Loop Studio allows a lot of potential flexibility in user control. If a user uses a long press on a track, it wouldn’t take much to give them the option to delete a track, and this could be done while still preserving undo functionality for the remaining tracks.
I think it’s useful to understand that people use an advanced looper like the Aeros Loop Studio for both live performance and songwriting. Supporting the songwriting features of the Aeros Loop Studio helps expand the potential use base, as well as rewarding those that have already invested in it. I can understand that there are other priorities, but I would think putting some time into how this could be done would be worthwhile, even if it’s put to the back of the support backlog afterwards.

Wouldn’t more intuitive touchscreen control of undo serve the same purpose? It would be easier to implement since it’s just an interface change; the undo system already exists.
I think these are two different issues: Delete a track, which is especially useful in a songwriting and experimental context, does not exist. It seems it may never be implemented, I don’t know the reasons.
Undo does exist, but will not help you if you have already committed that track.

What do you mean by ‘committed’? The way the term is used in the manual, committed recordings can be undone.
I mean that you have either moved on to create another track, an overdub, or any other action after which you can no longer undo the track. Anyway, when you undo a track, it still exists, just with nothing on it, so I think it is different to deleting a track.

I’m not sure what you have in mind by ‘or any other action’, but none of the specific actions you mention prevent you from undoing all layers of the track.

I agree, but I don’t know why the difference is important for people using Aeros for songwriting.
My bad on multiple undos. I had misunderstood this in the Google sheet of Midi commands : “Undo/Redo currently selected track’s top layer (6x6 mode)” – I thought we could only undo the top layer and not all those beneath it by repeating the process. I also didn’t know I could go back to a track later and undo it. Hadn’t read that part of the manual, thanks for pointing it out. So I guess the only advantage of a Delete Track function would be to tidy up and get rid of any empty tracks.

From a live performance perspective, being able to simple undo everything on a track via MIDI with a single button push would be amazing. That would effectively “delete” a track quickly, which would allow for e.g. replacing a bassline or similar. Being able to do it for all tracks without stopping the external MIDI clock would also allow for an extended live performance. I’m about to take the looper out to a festival to play a 2 hour dance set with an external MIDI clock and external start/stop, and once we start going we won’t be stopping.

Not sure if they meet your needs, but Aeros has a bunch of undo MIDI messages that aren’t listed in the Google spreadsheet, including ones that undo all layers: Aeros Undo Redo w/Controller BUG? - #4 by BrennanSingularSound
As I reported here though, several cc37 messages seem to be buggy, and it doesn’t look like the latest update addresses this.

Replace a track instead of delete/clear is a Great alternative solution
