Hi guys,

Has anybody found a way to record sound for the exact duration of the bank loop? (e.g. 16beats)
When I record patterns sometimes I don't lift my finger exactly at the time the loop starts repeating itself and I end up with either a gap in sound (if I lift before beat 1 starts again) or an overdubbed pattern (at the beginning of the first beat you'll hear a volume peak because for some milliseconds the pattern has been recorded twice).
Many loop recorders are designed to avoid this, but I haven't found a way on the KP+ to get this done. Has anybody found a way to prevent this nuisances?

No, that's one of the many frustrating things about the Kaossilator Pro. If they'd just put a little bit more thought into it, it could have been so much better.

How much extra would it have cost to implement a way to automatically stop recording at the end of one pass?

I bought one a few weeks back. There's always an audio editor to load in perfect loops but I do it the way mentioned below.

I have only one kick/hat one bar loop (made using gadget loaded into 00 ALL file and sample 0 on loop A) .... I'll fill up the kaossillator pro + in a session or two no problems.

I find a beat/tune I like online then press loop A with my sample in time with the tune to find the BPM ( some websites actually state the BPM of the song Smile )

When I'm happy,feeling good and all in sync, I press the record button on it's own and then hit loop B to record the 4 bar loop and hit B to get out with perfect timing. I then depress record and mute loop B, then arm record again and hit loop C then D the same way. I even delete A while still running live then arm loop A to record.
Some feckers actually stretch their loops and you'll never catch it right unless you adjust the BPM slightly or use an external audio editor.

Another fun thing to do is to to record loop A for example and when you hit loopA again to exit you hit loopB at the same time with your other finger then loop C when you hit out of B etc. Occasionally you can nail it but there's a lot of trial and error.........
love to swap some ALL files with peeps out there.
some days are frustrating but some days are awesome Smile

not sure if there are any secret codings in the way it samples to smooth things out automatically at start/end of sampling but I have noticed better results if you set your input level at 50/60% ( 12-2 o'clock ) green/amber.
