Can't copy current song (or delete or move)

Aeros Loop Studio Help, Questions and Bugs
1

Not being able to delete or move the current loaded song is a pain, but not being. able to copy it is surprising.

That said, I’d prioritize the being able to delete or move the current song as that is more common. Choose the next or a random song to select and don’t let me
delete the last song on the device (rarely going to happen) if you have to have one loaded at all times.

You can copy the currently open song from the Stopped Hands Free slideout menu in the Loop Studio, this is already possible in 5.0.x!

Moving it will be done soon, we are going to use a similar moving mechanism but likely within the song editing screen, more info soon

Deleting the currently open song will never be possible it is a limitation of the looper.

I will move this to the Help category for this reason :slight_smile:

We cannot allow copying or moving of current song while it is open from outside the loop studio screen, the former is harder to do and the latter it is a limitation of the looper

We do not allow batch requests, you are free to make a specific moving request if you would like to track it

Wouldn’t it be possible if you could perform the following sequence?

  • current = currentSongId()
  • OpenSong(nextSongIdElseCurrentId())
  • if (currentSong != currentSongId()) deleteSong(currentSong)

This could be implemented via a composite function, events, or even callbacks.

We are not interested in exploring this at this time but thanks!

Hi - Resurrecting this please…
Is deleting a song after you just recorded a loop and then stopped it - still not possible?

If not, can someone advise me on this…
What is the easiest/quickest way to delete the song completely? When I do the side menu pop-out, why can’t one of those commands be - Delete Song?

Thanks

Hey there,

The currently open song cannot be deleted but it can be cleared, which effectively deletes all associated audio files while keeping the Aeros song file (i.e. the song settings). This can be done either by holding down the Play/Stop All or by using the Clear Song option in the stopped slideout menu. if you need the Aeros play/Stop all to be on the press, then you will probably prefer using the slideout option, since having it on the press causes the song to start playing for a moment before the hold is read.

The inability to delete the currently open song is a limitation, think of it as a session in a DAW, the files inside are deletable by clearing just not the session itself.

Thanks for the question!

Also, for the recored, moving the currently open song is possible currently, this is done in the song settings where the song location is stated, select this to open the dialog and move it somewhere else.
