Anyone know of sleek ways to overdub recording in Detonate? I know the object itself does not allow overdubbing, but its so powerful otherwise.

https://docs.cycling74.com/max5/refpages/max-ref/detonate.html

I've got a good system for multi track tempo adjustable looping w/ detonate but each new record message erases the track. I've tried using other midi looping methods to do before they reach detonate for the final render, but every other sequencing method I've tried is lacking a feature in one way or another.

Just want to open this discussion. If I come up with good solutions I'll post them, and hope to hear some good ideas as well!

detonate-overdub

it is complex. you might consider using several detonate objects in order to have virtual "edit buffers". (or several channels, if you only need one channel)

yeah i know, it is not possible to mix these channels together offline later... no idea about that.

Are you recommending a sort of feedback loop of one detonate into another? That could potentially be very interesting.

I'm getting pretty close to this virtual edit buffer with seq~ , but there is some strange behavior and I'm fearing incompatibility w/ detonate.

Heres a (rough) start. This is very exciting. Overdubbing works!

figured out the toggles to the gate > next need to be switched when one loop is active . otherwise there is some major clashing of operations from the 2 detonates.

I'm working on making a more sleek version of all this, but just wanted to share something
