Recording a longer loop
Suppose you have a nice 1-bar or 2-bar groove running, and now you want to record a 4-bar or 8-bar loop. Here's what I tried:
1. Set the loop speed to x4 and have count-in on, and just tap. This works great BUT you have to wait 8 bars everytime before recording!
2. Set the loop speed to x4, tap, and then double-finger tap while still counting in. This works, but is tricky to get it starting exactly on top, and I dislike having to twist the loop to sync afterwards
I tried other things with double-finger tap, but I'm still trying to get my head around it. What would be nice is to have just a 1-bar count-in for a multibar loop. Is this making sense, or is there a way I have been missing? Any suggestions welcome.
Kind regards to all, and have fun!

Someone else mentioned that they'd like a longer count-in, so perhaps I can think of a way to set the minimum and maximum count in duration...
adjustable count-in duration also sounds like a great idea!
I think the proper solution though might be to set the minimum count-in time, and use the lowest number of cycles of the base clock length greater than that minimum, rather than use the current clock length as the base for the count-in duration.
