In many ways I wish SL had a different design than it ended up with. Not needing to care a priori about the loop count is really nice. As for a MIDI implementation out of the box... doesn't that just put the burden of configuring your hardware to match it? I find that setting/changing the bindings in SL (especially with midi learn) to be a bit easier. I could easily include a selection of default midi binding presets with SL, if I thought there was some common setup that would actually be useful to people. Feel free to send me some! Indeed, that was the point of my previous comment, if you aren't going to actually use a mouse on the SL GUI, then there should be a performance mode that does away with all of that. As for the abstract thought to set up a midi controller, you might want to look into bindings that make use of the "selected" loop, that way you can jump between selections with some bindings (specific loop, or next/prev) then set up all your other commands to be bound to the selected loop. Some as yet unreleased new features actually make the record_or_overdub command even more suitable for "one button looping"... if there is nothing in the loop it starts Record, then stops record.... then when hit again thereafter it starts/stops Overdubbing on that loop. Do a double tap and it does an Undo. Hold it down (a long-press if you have note-like bindings with separate press/release ability) and it clears the loop. If record and overdub covers your looping, you could just set up a button on your controller for each loop bound to this. Look for it in the next release. jlc
