Feature Request: MIDI command to completely erase a song part

Aeros Loop Studio Feature Requests
1

So, we currently can immediately clear an entire song using CC 42, value 0. In addition to this, I really could use a command to erase just one part of the song. For instance CC 42, value 1 could erase part 1, value 2, part 2, etc…

It doesn’t look like there’s any way to do this via MIDI command currently, do I have that right?

Thanks,

Hey there,

You can delete the last part using the Stopped Hands Free Menu, press and hold the bottom left footswitch button to open the menu, and use the scroll wheel to Delete Last Part, and then confirm the deletion. You may have to edit the hands free menu to show this option, by default it is there.

Note, this is not undoable

Also, the confirmation pop-up can be turned off in the device behavior settings, warning however this will make all deleting immediate and will no longer confirm before deleting the last song part or clearing the whole song.

We do not have a MIDI command for this behavior at this time however

Hi Brennan -

Yes, I can do that, but there are a couple of problems with that:

  1. I don’t have room for the Aeros on my large pedal board, since I already have the MIDI Maestro on there (and very much need it there for my unique workflow). So the Aeros sits off to the side where I can see it but where it’s not easy to operate it with my feet (or hands).

  2. I really would like the ability to delete any of the parts generated, not just the last one. And (for bonus points) be able to do that as long as the target part isn’t currently playing or being recorded (so a different part could be in either play or record mode while doing this bit of housekeeping).

So yeah, this is still a feature request from me – ability to instantly delete any part via MIDI command. Hopefully there are others who would benefit from this as well…

Thanks,

Me too. I’d love to have this available through MIDI instead of tap dancing :o)

Hi Brennan, any chance to add a start / stop Midi command for the Aeros like the BB, so I don’t have to toggle. This way it always stays in the right position. With the Midi toggle this is not possible. Thanks

Hi Larry,

Thank you for the suggestion! If you’d like to see this feature added, please post a separate feature request. Once posted, I can forward it to the team for consideration.

I second (or third?) this suggestion. Was going to request it myself. I often need to erase a song part quickly during performance (preferably via single midi command), and the only way currently is quite cumbersome.

Stretch goal / feature here for me would be to erase the most recently created (highest numbered) song part.

Pretty please ? :slight_smile:

In @SlimHeilpern ‘s scheme, perhaps CC value 0, or else 7, to erase the most recent / last song part ?
And 1 - 6 for specific parts (if possible, since the Menu slide out function makes me think it may be only possible to delete parts in the reverse sequence of their creation - which would make it simpler - simply a midi function to “delete last song part”). Would be cool though to have the choice of arbitrarily deleting any song part.)
