Description:
Add one-tap options to
double (×2)
or
multiply
the current count-in length before record/play actions—available as global settings and mappable actions (e.g., “Record with Count-In ×2”). Works with bars/beats, custom offsets, and quantization.
Problem:
Sometimes the default count-in isn’t long enough (complex entries, tempo changes, pedal prep). Manually changing count-in each time slows the flow, and duplicating actions just to get a longer pre-roll clutters layouts.
Proposed Solution:
  • New actions:
    Record with Count-In ×2 / ×3 / ×4
    ,
    Multiply Count-In by N
    ,
    Halve Count-In
    ,
    Reset to Default
    (per press).
  • Global & per-target:
    Set a
    Default Count-In
    ; optionally override per
    clip/track/page
    .
  • Units & math:
    Works for
    bars/beats
    and time-based count-ins; preserves any
    count-in offset
    (e.g., pickup of −⅛) while multiplying the base length.
  • Temporary vs. sticky:
    Choose whether the multiplier applies
    once
    (next action only) or
    sticks
    until changed.
  • UI feedback:
    HUD reads “Count-In: 2 bars → ×2 = 4 bars”; small badge on the armed clip.
  • Safety:
    Respect
    Minimum Count-In Time
    and late-press guard windows; quantized scheduling remains intact.
Benefits:
  • Faster, cleaner workflow: extend prep time without diving into settings.
  • Flexible per-song moments (longer lead-ins for tricky cues).
  • Less action duplication; fewer layout variants.
Examples:
  • Footswitch triggers
    Record with Count-In ×2
    for a complex guitar part (2 bars → 4 bars).
  • A “Prep” button toggles
    ×4
    for ambient builds, then
    Reset to Default
    for normal loops.
  • Use
    Halve Count-In
    to drop from 4 bars back to 2 between takes while keeping the −⅛ pickup offset.

Original Post:
Double the count-in.
I was loopyn' at 200 bpm yesterday and realized, 8 BEAT count-in (instead of the regular 4 beat) would be sweet. :) Feel me?
