Setup: In Settings → Misc, I set rec countdown to 2 BAR, metronome ch to MIDI CH10A (my drum synth), and metronome note to D4 (which plays a little snare sound.)
I have the sequencer set to “multi-mode” and the live looper turned on with a default minimum 1 BAR loop.
Question: Let’s say I want to record a loop on midi channel 1 to track 01A and then record a different on midi channel 2 to track 02A and I want to do this in a live performance setting where I don’t want my audience to hear metronome clicks (except maybe at the very beginning of a song.) I set track 01A as the current track on the Pyramid, arm record, and then press play. I hear a 2-bar countdown from my drum synth, and then begin recording a loop. So far so good.
Once I have that loop going, I set 02A as the current track on the Pyramid, and while track 01A is playing/looping, I press record to start recording a different loop on track 02A. Sometimes this works as expected, but sometimes it gives me a countdown, and I cannot figure out why. I only want a countdown before the initial loop. It’s confusing when there is an unexpected countdown on the 2nd loop; I sometimes start playing immediately becuase I’m not expecting a countdown and then loop begins halfway into my performance. I also just don’t want the audience to experience this.
Any suggestions? What am I missing?
