You'd have to make a log with n copies of the bed (or, alternatively, the bed, and a macro event which reloads the log and plays it again - an infinite loop) and then have a button to load and play the aux log and another to stop the same aux log. That's the neatest thing I can think of, anywa

I've been tasked with coming up with a way to play looped music beds and found this post. Does anyone know if it would be feasible/possible to have a macro cart that would load several copies of a certain cart into an Aux Log player and begin playback? Then one could have a second macro cart to hal

Is there any chance to replace libMAD with FFmpeg as default decoder? In that case maybe we could impor
