Hey there,
Could you potentially do the added step of Copy song after opening the template file?
Using the slideout menu (press and hold the bottom left button), use the wheel to highlight and select the Copy option
So:
- Open template via MIDI
- Open slideout menu via MIDI or using the bottom left button
- Select Copy from the menu
- Record song
It’s one extra step but should work
The Handsfree menu is fully configurable so you could put the copy command at the top to not even have to scroll.
Let me know if this could work!
Here’s more info from the manual
Hands Free Slideout Menu
When in the Loop Studio, you can open the hands free slideout menu by pressing and holding the bottom-left button. The slideout menu is a quick and easy way to edit settings and send commands. There are two slideout menus: Playing and Stopped.
When the slideout menu is open, you can use the wheel and buttons to interact with it.
The slideout cannot be engaged when recording or overdubbing. If a recording or overdub is started, the slideout will close automatically.
Disabling the Slideout
Prior to version 5.0.0, holding the bottom left button would open the mixer. This is no longer the case. Instead, this will open the hands free slideout menu. You can open the mixer using the hands free slideout.
Note: If you remove the mixer options from the slideout when editing it, you will not be able to open the mixer.
To open the mixer directly instead of the slideout menu, you can disable the Playing or Stopped slideouts in the device Hands Free settings
Keep Selection
This setting makes it so that the slideout menu option you had sent last is automatically selected when the slideout menu is brought out again. If disabled, the option at the top of the menu is always selected when slideout menu is opened.
Close Menu Automatically (Playing/Stopped)
If a Hands Free Menu is set to close automatically, the menu will close itself after a command is sent. If the Close Automatically setting is off, the menu will stay open until manually closed by tapping the bottom left button.
Editing the Slideout Menu
The individual options in the slideout menu can be edited (reordered or shown/hidden) in the device Hands Free settings (read more about Hands Free settings on pg. x). You can find this screen by going to Settings > Hands Free and choose either one of the edit slideout options.
Here you can also set whether the slideout menu will close automatically every time you send a command or if it stays open until it is closed.
There two methods to change the order of the slideout menu options:
- Use the touchscreen to tap on either the up or down arrow buttons next to each option. This will move the specific slideout menu option up or down by one.
- Press the middle Aeros button, ‘Move’, while selecting a slideout menu option. Once you press move, use the wheel to change the option’s position, when you are done press the middle button, ‘Finish’, to stop moving the option and confirm the new position. This can be canceled by tapping the bottom left Aeros button before confirming.
To toggle whether the option is showing or hidden on the slideout menu:
- Tap the option’s corresponding blue circle on screen
- Use the right Aeros button, ‘Toggle’, while selecting the desired slideout menu option.
