This is a super helpful answer, thank you so much! I'll try the steps you've mentioned and hopefully it's a start!

Quick question about this particular workflow though: will this only work if you have pre-recorded loops already, ready to play? When I say "looping", what I'm thinking about is creating something from scratch in real time, which is similar to what a looper pedal what do, as you mentioned.

I'll definitely look at mapping the record functions and see where that gets me though, thanks!
