Hi @whale-av or somebody else,

https://github.com/undessens/Lucibox/tree/master/machines/1

This Loop Machine (4 tracks) nearly perfect but there are 2 points I would like to change. The points I would like to change:

1. The stop record button. Now you need to push the record button again to finish a record. I would like to change it by pushing the record button again (track 1) OR another record track (track 2). By pushing the record track loop 2 the record loop 1 will stop and the new record on loop 2 will start.

2. The stop/play button. To stop a loop you have to wait until the loop finish. When there are multiple loops and you will stop a loop you have to wait until the whole loop finish. To play the stopping loop you have to wait the whole loop start from the beginning. So a good solution is the mute a loop when you push the stop button. The stop/play all button works perfect, I am talking about the stop/play button on a loop track.

Can you help me with this? I am very new in Pure Data so I REALLY need your help.
Thank you for any help.

@Butahuruf Backup first then instant overdub.zip
[moon_loopstation] to machine/1 and [recloopsaveundo] to patches/audio.
It will do something, but I am not sure what.

@whale-av Hi David, thank you but unfortunately it doesn't work. It will 'erase' the existing loop. I mean the tempo and the starting point will not sync anymore.

@Butahuruf Ok..... thank you... I will be needing you to test this.

@whale-av sure I will be here if you need someone to test. I think, a loop always waits to the beginning of the cycle because of the sync. What if when you record a loop you should create also an empty loop and use this empty loop for overdub (over write it). When you want overdub again you clone the second loop and overwrite it. Indirectly you also can create an undo function by erasing the clone loop. Sur

@Butahuruf I think all that is already in place. I will look again and the sleep on it.....!
David.

Great! Thank you again for helping me. Maybe this link is useful https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/2379/l ooper-with-overdub-and-punch-plus-storage-in-a-table/2

@Butahuruf The play button in ui_tempo_small obviously does "play" but when the command comes from a control rather than the Pd GUI it is not actually "banged".
There is an incoming message that changes it's colour to green and that is all,, so here I have just hooked that up to your "unmute" send as well...... ui_tempo_small.pd
David.

The last ui_tempo_small.pd doesn't work properly. It will unmute the button but the loops I record will be empty even I don't touch the play all button.

@whale-av the unmute-all button works again. I use a spigot to manage it
ui_tempo_small.pd

Hi David, we can leave the overdub that way. I think the way the loop does the overdub is good enough.

@whale-av Hi David,

I am trying to add a speed changer on the loop. I've spent a whole day to understand how to do it but haven't understood yet. Can you maybe help me with it? I found this http://write.flossmanuals.net/pure-data/arrays-graphs-tables/

using this http://write.flossmanuals.net/pure-data/arrays-graphs-tables/static/PureData-DataFlow-array_tabread4-en.png

@whale-av hi David, can you help me to connect the speed changer to the looper? I found this
