Hey there,
The issue there is that is not how the looper starts a new song. That is a deletion method. To create a new song, you must press the + sign on the Loop Studio screen, on the Songs List Screen, or you can send a New 6x6 Song or New 2x2 Song MIDI command.
Clearing the song is not intended to be a way to create a new song. It is for users who have no intention of saving what they just cleared.
We are working on methods to allow for handsfree non MIDI options like detailed in the Hands-Free mode
We also hope to soon add a Save As feature to simplify all of this and keep songs secure when wanting to make different versions of the same song.
