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.
Legend Neil Thank you – I will have a look at this and see if I can improve my current set up.
For those of you who maybe looking at this in the future to solve the issue to suit my needs I have done a few things. The looper is being used VERY basically to record, Play and stop.
First was download this Max Device. It Records using ableton’s looper but automatically uses quantization which is EPIC.
I have a reaction that launches the max device record button when a MIDI Button is pressed. When i press the button again it switches to play mode (using the loopers perimeters not the Max devices). And when I press it again the looper stops. The next time I press the button the whole cycle starts again.
I have set the looper up so there is no need to ‘clear’ or delete the loop. When the looper is not playing you cannot hear it.
