I had an idea last night while playing with a looper patch i'm working on. i use the master sync and local sync modules in parrallel, the master feeds the tempo into the local module, with an On Activation module connected to the reset of the local sync, and finally I have the the cycle start of the local module going into the play button of a sampler (which is set to sync mode play button obviously). This allows me to keep the tempo but choose a larger or smaller cycle length (ie loop length) for looping. I was thinking this whole thing could be simplified if the local sync module had a button like 'sync with main tempo' on it, to retain the master tempo and also to keep it in sync without having to reset. I know this probably defeats the purpose of having a local sync module but it would allow the master cycle to be set to say, 8 bars, and you can use 2, 3, 4, 5 etc bar length loops and keep them in sync without being constrained to the master cycle length.
of course I could save you a bit of time and work by just using my two sync modules method on all my workspaces....
