MIDI Loop recording: new take per loop?

[mebling]

How does one loop record on a MIDI track, with each new loop starting a different take? Or, a new track? (Using DP7) I understand this is possible with an audio track, but not sure about MIDI. Thanks in advance...

Hi
If you turn on the overdub button it will add new notes
with each pass.
Good Luck

You can add new notes to the same take but you can't cycle record takes like you can when recording audio. I don't know why that is, it just is. You can use Polar, but I've never used it so I don't know how well it works for this. [EDIT] Wait, Polar is for audio so never mind about that. See, I told you I've never used it.

c-ya,

I wondered about this years ago...

I would love to see this feature in DP. I have only used Polar a little and am always trying to find time to pay with it. I think I can make great use of it

BUT

a MIDI version would rock. I could make my own multis really quickly. Record multiple passes while changing instruments and then print all the tracks to a sequence. Then I could deconstruct the resultant pass to expand the development of the composition over a substantial amount of time.

Could this be done by switching record enabled tracks in a DP sequence while in memory loop mode? If memory serves well, DP stops recording if you switch record enabled tracks while recording.

The only way I have found to do it is to make the sequence longer (i.e. copy the sequence end to end about 4 times) and this gives you the equivalent of a few "MIDI overdub" passes. You can then pick what was best, or copy the MIDI passes to the original sequence as separate tracks and comp like audio. Not perfect but it works.
