I've serach up and down and couldn't find anything explaining the logistics fo creating a sound-on-sound looper. Presumably one has to use a few buffers, but I can't work out the logical side of it and would appreciate any help.

By sound-on-sound do you mean overdubbing ?

The easiest way for overdubbing is to use index~ and poke~. While playing the loop with index~ you record it back into the same buffer, mixed with the input signal.

Have a search on the forum - there are some threads and patches on this.

If you want to have access to the individual loop layers you'll have to use multiple buffers.

No, I'd be quite happy with mixing a "new" loop and simply manipulating that one, I don't need access to the separate layers.

What I can't figure out is the logic of getting the mixdown buffer to understand when to mix a new version and when to simply continue playing. I want to be able to "activate" on command, so to speak.

But I'll explore index~ and poke~ and see what I can learn!

Sound-on-sound looper anyone?
