Ableton Looper

Hi,

Im new here. And so far i am impressed with the solution. Hopefully i’ll be able to get what need to improve my performance 🙂

So, I am trying to create a script with many functions to replace my old midi translator. However, i couldn’t find a way to implemente one of the most important things to me. Which is, as an example, to start recording and stop the playback of the Looper device on a *specific and fixed* audio channel. Ideally i would be able to send the feedback to the device in order to turn the button light on/off.

Is it possible to have it on the script ?

FYI: When i press the button, it sends 2 messages, Note ON ( Chan 13 / A#4 127 ) and Note OFF ( Chan 13 A#4 0 ). On would Start Looper on track X and OFF would stop.

Thanks in advance.

Hey guys,

I found this thread in the Google search as I’m trying to map Looper transport controls myself.

What I figured is that it is possible to trigger each function (rec, overdub, play, stop) if I map Parameter 1 to “absolute Knob”

The thing is that Parameter 1 is controlling 4 different controls in this device. But in order to trigger unique function we need to send the specific velocity value for each control as the following.

Stop ……………… 0-42
Record …………. 43-84
Play ………………. 85-126
Overdub ……… 127

I’m using Bomes to convert the Note On value on 4 buttons to match settings.

However, when mapped to switches on my Midifighter Twister, I’m able to trigger only the Overdub (it seems that CSS buttons are ignoring other values than 0 and 127. Or I may be doing something wrong) tried CC and Note

Then I had other idea. I mapped mode 1-2-3 to first 3 switches on my Twister only to provide the LED feedback for REC- PLAY-Clear and midi map input commands inside Live. Problem here is that when ever I remap any of this three buttons in Live it overrides the Modes in my CSS script.
