Re: MainStage Looper (screenshot)
Per,
Interesting to see you back with Mainstage. I have fallen in love
with the application. I just got a Godin Multiac Spectrum to take
advantage of those beautiful instruments. I am having trouble using
any sort of beats though. I have been experimenting with sending
either ultrbeat or stylus into a sooperlooper loop. Its a bit of an
adventure and not entirely consistent. I would rather have Stylus
running at the Set Level, but then I can't get the software
instruments to work. Its a work in progress, but I think Mainstage
will inevitably become the way to go. It sounds so good.
