One Button / One action Rec/Overdub twice/play

Vdor

Hello Guy's

I'm discovering (and lovin') Mobius3
I'm although looking for a while in this forum the answear to my problem.
Maybe my poor english does'nt help me finding a solution. Sorry if this question has already be asked

Sooooooo :

I'm using a diy board with 6 buttons, an ESP32 to transmit midi signal to Mobius. Ok on this side.

I decided Track 4 could be pre-programmed to act in ONE action : Autorecord - Overdub for 2 loops - Play
(1 press for 3 loop : autorecord, then overdub 2 layers)
So I wrote this script

in 4
{
AutoRecord
OverdubOn
wait cycle
wait cycle
print "OK"
OverdubOff
}

In fact, if overdubbing is correctly launched, it doesn't stop. How can I Overdub 2 loop, then return to play mode, without action on any button ?

Thanks a lot !

Hey, welcome!

I fiddled around a little and came up with this MSL script for b47:

in 4 {if mode == :reset AutoRecord wait last Overdub wait last wait loop print "OK" Overdub(quantize=:loop) end }

@Vdor from my testing, this should do the trick. let me know if it works for you!
Also, if you're so inclined, feel free to share the stuff you make with Mobius in this thread here!

@jeff Fwiw, I wasn't able to get this script to wait for 2 loops as a Follower track by duplicating the wait loop command, so I had to get creative with wait last and the Overdub(quantize=:loop) line. Ideally, I would have written "wait loop n" but that wasn't achieving any results. So, not sure if there's a bug with how the wait command works in b47 or there’s another way to write it—just thought I'd share!

Thanks for your help.
I'm afraid it's not working fine for me in build 47
Ok for launching AutoRecord.

It's adding a "play loop" before Overdub 1, which is unwanted
with the Alex1 script, Overdub 2 never append
In order to have my 2 layers, here is what I tried :
in 4 {if mode == :reset AutoRecord wait last Overdub wait last wait loop print "OK" Overdub(quantize=:loop) wait last OverdubOff end }

Thanks

Huh, I wonder if it has to do with the difference in our configurations since it works for me. What is the Sync Source and Sync Record Unit for Track 4? Also, what are your Quantize settings?

alexs1

In case it's quantization defaults, try this:

in 4 {if mode == :reset AutoRecord wait last Overdub(quantize=:off) wait last wait loop print "OK" Overdub(quantize=:loop) end }

You don't need OverdubOff btw, since Overdub toggles on/off automatically in this script.

Yeeeeeeees

It's working as expected, thanks a lot !
