Clarification on my immediate stop request
I’m using the Aeros mostly without BB, only acoustic guitar, some effects and vocal. And many times totally mobile (9V battery), my street musician mode. Therefore additional devices are no options.
Before the lock track availability I could not use multiple tracks as I only work in the quantize = off mode. I only worked with the stop song = immediate setting, as I did in the past with many other loopers. Unfortunately, this setting is not feasible with changing song parts.
Therefore, I urgently asked for a settings separation for change song part and stop song in this chat. @laurentB, I’ve never asked for changing the current behavior with the immediate double stop feature.
Currently, there are two options to stop a song before the end of a loop in “stop mode = end of loop”:
- Double tap very quickly at the point you want to stop: This is definitely not my thing as it causes additional “stress” (see ex. 3)
- Tapping the stop button once early in a bar (I call it “loading” the stop button) and then tapping it a second time exactly where it’s needed. This is a nice option as it makes stopping more natural, just like a single tap. However, it does not work for things like ex. 2.
As explained in earlier posts, I urgently need the immediate stop setting. More details in the following examples and chart:
Ex. 1: This is what Aeros does automatically. This is not my favorite point to end a song in many cases
Ex. 2: For years I got used to ending a song after the 1st note of the beginning chorus. In many cases this seems more musical to me. And this is what does not work with the “load” stop technique. The song stops automatically at the end of the previous bar and Aeros interpretes my second tap as a restart.
Ex 3: This is what I do very often to vary loops: A short stop, typically at the end of a chorus. And in the gap before starting the next chorus or part I fill in variations like
a) Guitar fill in or a beat box or vocal fill in
b) Chord alterations
c) Starting a solo
d) Preparing a change of a part (change part button)
e) Switching a sound by pressing one, two or more effect pedals
f) AND VERY OFTEN even combinations of this
This is what I marked as the “stress phase”, with a very limited time depending on the song tempo. A double tap for stopping is then one tap to many.
And therefore, dear SS guys, musicians like me need an immediate stop setting (which remains the part change at the end of the loop) as it’s already foreseen.
