I'm using the remote and would like to start using the looper live.
I was wondering if there was any way to record and control the loop without having to enter "looper Mode". Basically, can you assign and lock the Record, Start, Stop/Erase buttons to other footswitches?
In performance mode I never use the top row of footswitches and would love to be able to use them as an always accessable quick and easy looper control when playing live.
My guitar is wireless back to my rack with no pedals out front (just the KPA remote via the ethernet). If i had a input signal at my feet I'd just buy a standalone dedicated looper pedal, but to get that I'd have to run 60ft of cable, invest in a looper pedal, have a power supply and find power at the front of the stage. As the KPA already has the looper function, I would just use that if there was an easier way to access it.
Currently to make a loop as I would need would take 10 foot presses (all while still playing). Talk about tap dancing!
Press to enter looper mode,
press to start loop record,
press to stop loop record,
press to exit looper mode,
press to change patch (to play over loop with different sound),
press again to re-enter looper mode,
press stop loop,
press and hold to clear loop,
press to exit looper mode
press to return to original sound
Thats ALOT of room for mistakes! Any way of making it simpler?
