Kaossilator Pro - ERASE Loop functionality

Post by Radian »

I like how you can hold the Erase Loop button while you hold a bank button and continually record a fresh line in the bank. This is great for capturing a tricky performance as you practice it - as soon as you're happy with the phrase you let go of everything and you're done.

But what's the idea behind pressing the Erase button before the bank button which clears the entire bank while you can still play over the top? It's not recording anything you play - yet at the end of the phrase the bank reverts to "playing" silence. Also, pressing the erase button while its erasing doesn't stop the process - or do anything other than make the bank button flash red until it's done erasing.

I was really hoping it would lock into erase-record to save you having to keep a finger on the bank button as well as the erase button while you play the part to be dropped-in.

Didn't know that, thanks! That would also be quite helpful for live performance.

-> erase a bank on the fly
-> pressing erase again let you play /start loopbanks without erasing, while the erase-process will go on (blinking bank)
