Long and Shot Press Script

Leftyloopy

Hi
So I wrote this script, which purpose is to mute the focused track on short press and clear the loop content (that is empty but with the pie running) on long press.

I made it work but I know that is done clumsily. I haven't found how to make scripts that do different things on short press v. long press with the same trigger. I've seen the ones that do Reset on long press but, when trying to adapt my needs they haven't worked.
This is how I wrote it.
`#focused

#sustain 500

function OnSustain {

if sustainCount == 1

Clear

Mute

if inMute

Mute

}

if sustainCount == 0

Mute

end`

Does anybody know how to write same thing but with less "make-shift workarounds"?
(also I don't know why I have to leave empty lines in between the written lines to behave even how it does)

Hey! I might write it something like this:

#name Mute Sustain Script
#focused
#sustain 500

if mode == :play
Mute

else if mode == :mute Mute

function OnSustain { if sustainCount == 1 wait last Play Clear}

Give this a shot and loop me in if it works. Short press mutes, and long press clears the pie, while also keeping it in the green. ((you'll still see a Mute quantize flag which might be confusing after the long press, just ignore it))

Thanks for the reply!
I tried it and the problem is that it doesn't toggle from mute to unmute. Once it's muted it won't umute, in other words. I'll play with it some.

Huh. How are you aiming to toggle the Mute? This version has it to unmute on long press with “Play”, and short press should unmute it with mode == :mute.

Leftyloopy

Nevermind. I messed up. I'll try again.

Ok, So somehow I copied earlier a different verion you sent maybe? Logged in two devices doesn't help. ;-P
I pasted the longer one and it works. It seems to do the same (but faster thwn mine) when you get out of the long press the pie goes blue for a split second and then green. For practical purposes it works. My thing was that I had a .mos script doing this but it doesn't work on this Mobius 3. And because I have other pedals doing similar (short press is one function and long press is a complete other function. And I am afraid that with other cases might not work. I'll still dig more, but thanks for the script, it has more elements that I can tinker with. 👌

Word. I did edit the script a couple times before your first reply, so that might’ve been it. And yeah, there is a split second before going green as it processes the wait last part. That should be mainly visual and negligable in the audio, hopefully.

Something cool you can do in MSL is quantization within the lines. So if you have Mute normally quantized to end at the end of the loop and wanted it to be instant (but only for this script), you can do Mute(quantize=:off). That might help with the blue blip, too 😛
