Last layer mode

This is totally random and i don't think it can happen. Just thought i still share the that thought.

I myself have no use for sampler mode. That's fine. Normal and additive modes are great. What i would have use for is a last layer mode, that you could swap in over the editor just like the new modifiers.

In that mode, if you would record a modifier, it would only be added to the last layer. Doesn't degrade over time. Like in normal mode.

With this mode, in my thoughts, you could do rough mixes of your recorded loops on the fly.

Example:

Layer: low pass filter, high stability for a dark background warble.
Layer: another filter setting, little stability, for some chords.
Layer: high pass filter, some reverse lead.

It would open up many options for possible future modifiers, too. Imagine a reverb modifier. Each layer could have it's on eq and "room" to set them apart in the mix.

You could build beautiful loops and of course, switch then over to additive mode to destroy them. 😃

Really cool idea! Maybe Mark can work his magic and make it happen :)

I’m in the same boat you’re in where I don’t find myself using trigger mode at all. I love the idea of what I’ll call for the sake of this post “creative mode”, I know many people on here have wanted that capability. I think reprogramming an entire pedal mode would be somewhat of a nightmare for the team. Especially since the layers would, in this case, have to be separate from each other. If you watched the livestream for the update, people in the comments were asking if there will ever be an update to download separate layers of a loop. This would probably be within the same type of programming for “creative mode”. The problem being it will take a lot of programming to: record a loop, add mods, create a new loop (overdubbing wouldn’t apply here), adding more mods; while having previous loops play at the same time. Hopefully in the future this will be an option cause I would use this constantly but as of right now I think it’s asking a little too much out of our little blue box

To be clear: i know it could be a programming nightmare. And i asked myself if i should post it. I don't want to sound greedy. I love the pedal and i think i can see the effort they put in creating it.

Is it 100% what i could imagine and wish? No! But it's their creation and i hope it's 100% what they wish.

I would never had this idea if it was not them creating blooper how it is. I like my idea, that they inspired. Perhaps i can inspire them, too, and they make something out of it.

If they don't: fine. I will like and use my blooper and hope they will develop it further with ideas that i will like.

Also, we should not forget: they make a living out of it. Therefore, they have to be clear which features are worth the time they put in.

So, Joel, knobs & team: thanks for the bloops.
