Live looper - sync without master track/independent master

Post by Faldoe » Tue Dec 01, 2020 5:29 pm

I'm aware you can use the looper without it being synced to the master track/starting master track play when playing the looper.

What I'd like to do is have say 4 loopers and have whichever loop is started first, the others sync with it.

So say I start with recording and playing loop 1. I add 3 other loops and they are all playing together, syncing off loop 1 - as it was the first. Then I stop them all but want to start up loop 2 and then 3. Is there a way to make it so loop 2 then becomes the master sync and all loops will follow that? And from there, any number of combinations.

Or if I record loop 1, play over it (without overdubbing) and then stop it and start recording loop 2 and then bring loop 1 back in, say the tempo isn't exact for loop 2 as it was for loop 1, will loop 1 follow along?

Hope this makes sense.
