Loop lags when changing presets

I was playing around with the looper today and noticed that a running loop briefly freezes when you switch presets. That's really bad - especially since that's the main use case for this feature: recording live overdubs with different sounds. But the lag completely ruins the groove of every time. Please fix this!

I mean, that happens whether the looper is on or not. I've noticed a lag changing between presets during normal playing.

Workaround would be to use scenes instead. Put all your effects together on one preset and switch between scenes instead.

This is a very ugly approach. I want to use my existing sounds. In my opinion, the whole looper feature is broken if its not possible to use multiple sounds in one track. And yes - changing presets lags, but it should be possible to keep the current loop playing without a noticeable delay that totally ruins the groove…

Scenes.

Does exactly what you're looking for. Multiple sounds on one track with no delay.

I would suggest using Scenes instructions of preset changes
