Looper Issues
I am trying to figure out a workaround to get LED Feedback for Ableton Lives Looper Main Transport Button.
I have a script attached which almost works but it runs into issues when I map it.
The only way to map the transport button is through Ableton’s Midi Map function. I have it mapped to a button on my controller called ‘Rec Arm’. In Ableton is shows as Channel 3 Note G1 (See screenshot).
I have a reaction set up, when Device Parameter 1 “state) is 0 the velocity value sent to the LED Input is 0. When it is 1 the value is 1 when it is 2 it is 2 and 3 is 3.
This functions perfectly well until I physically map the Button in Ableton. At this point I gain control of the transport button but the LED feedback stops working.
R, this may or may not benefit you… I had Looper LED feedback working in an earlier version of my script, but it’s been a few years since I wrote that script, and since then I can’t get it to work for me anymore. Attached is the component that used to work (at least, I’m pretty sure this was the one). Maybe it will give you some new ideas. I’m with you that midi mapping just works better if you want the standard multi-button behavior. I have a button with no other mapping that I’m dedicating to Looper LED feedback, but no luck. I have the looper on a send track (12 tracks and 5 sends, with Loop on the 5th, so I”m using 16 for the track. Maybe the listener doesn’t do sends? Or I’m tying to point to the send track incorrectl? I”m not sure. But I hope we’re both able to get LED feedback up and running.
