Discussion about the future use of the Record button

<< < (2/6) > >>

Llorean:
Changing A-B to one button removes functionality though.

Mikerman:
But couldn't a quick press call it up and set the A point, and a second press set the B point, thereby setting the loop easily? I think that's the major functionality, and the ease of use would seem to make up for anything else. 

In the alternative, a quick press could call up an A-B screen where quick presses could set the A-B points, but other functionality could also exist.

Of the 2, I would prefer the former, as A-B looping typically is an immediate thing, and I can't think of other functionality that is needed enough to override that.  But perhaps others can. 

Llorean:
The fact is though with our current means you can change a B point multiple times without ever re-setting the A (or vice versa) and you lose that with a one-button method.

Mikerman:
Well, I guess that could be done with the second approach in my post (my reason for offering it).  I guess I wonder, however:  do people use that (that is, a movable A and B point), and much?  I just can't think of how or how much, such that the former approach with its immediate availability (how I think A-B looping typically is used) seems more useful to me.

If moveable A and B points are important and the former approach is the preferred option, I guess a key option could come into play to preserve it--e.g. if the A-B loop is set, play+left/right moves the A-B points.

Another nice thing with the former approach, for those wanting the backlight option above:  matters conceivably could be set so that if a second tap for the B point is not made within x amount of tme, the A-B option simply is cancelled.

Llorean:
People have written *just* to thank us for allowing the movement of one point instead of requiring both. So yes, people do appreciate it.

That being said, if you popped up a screen, then it becomes *more* complicated to use than the current method which is just a button combo.

And I do believe play+left/right only sets A-B while that mode is set. Are you saying you can set the loop points when not in A-B repeat mode right now?
