I am using my Microstation as a slave to the midi clock being sent from my EMX , I am finding the recording horribly limited....help.

Is it true I can only "arm" the looper BEFORE i record? this seems totally crazy considering on my 5 year old EMX I can punch in and out of recording.

On that subject, even if I arm record AND loop in advance of pressing play on my emx, I then cant STOP recording and just play over what I have done without actually stopping the emx.

this seems totally crazy for a looper, please tell me I am missing something...there is a work around or such like, its SOOO close ot what I want, but at the minute it seems fatally flawed for working in a live environment.

thanks

This is indeed correct. It's not exactly crazy since the EMX functions as a different type of instrument. You can use the MS to set up looped "patterns" in advance and mute on and off tracks live, but that's about it. It's a linear based sequencer and the loop feature is just kind of an added bonus that the M50 didn't have.

that's a real shame, I'm bummed out by that.

to me it feels like its been left out on purpose to help sales of other related products...

ite be fair, if you have written the code routines for
play and stop and a separate one for arming a looper
the memory drain on linking those two and adding the ability ot switch the record state form record to just play without having to first step through "stop" is small to insignificant.

ridiculous... particularly seeing as they make a point of listing the "looper" as a function.
