I now want to be able to set it up so that my drummer can step through these scenes with one drum-pad – increment the current scene. I’m thinking I need add a ‘loop length’ to the master scene name, and then use another regexp to extract the number from the end of the scene, so he can loop around a few scenes.

Total noob at this, I wonder if anyone can help me get started? I attach the current scene launching patch – I’ve added ‘post-it’ style notes to it that should hopefully make things clearer than my rambling :)

I just want the regexp to pull the last number from a scene label and set that as the ‘scene loop length’.

IF scene has ‘mstr’ in the label, THEN Get scene ‘loop length’ from last numbers in scene label.

Is something like this possible?

why don’t you put example messages (names) in there.
