Looper Status Led / Midi Feedback
hey guys, can someone please help me and explain how to generate midi notes corresponding to the state of abletons looper!
i can´t get my head around with reactions 2. cause there is not really an option to select other than decive – state.
the looper device is unfortunately not listed in the devices dropdown menu.
i need to get visual feedback. ideally on rgb leds but as well on simple one colour leds.(maybe with a blinking light option for overdubbing/recording?) or i could spread the functions / status as well on multiple leds.
each one for rec, ovdb, play,stop. but i really need at least some visual feedback for abletons looper…
i would even pay extra for that function!!!!
btw: really like css so far! my setup is pretty crazy big now but it still works like charm!!
thinking back now, the time i saved is nothing compared to what it costs…
anyway, hope someone can help me.. or at least guide me a bit
greetings
edit: just quickly to explain my needs:
4 pads from a roland spd sx are mapped to abletons looper (rec,undo,clear, track mute)
and the roland drumpad has little red leds built in for every pad…. and with these ones i wanna see the looper status
Hi,
Some things to help you:
To send LED feedback you probably need to send MIDI velocity value to your controller (not note)
In reactions you send velocity value using the action:
midi controller > send midi velocity value to input
The looper’s state is available from (i think) device parameter 1
And I think the states are something like: 0 = off, 1 = recording, 2 = playing (or something like that anyway).
You can check that by using this script: https://remotify.io/ableton-midi-script/log-device-parameter-names
You could then create a reaction which does this:
when looper state changes (i.e. device parameter 1 changes)
In an Action…
condition : if parameter 1 value is == 1
Action: send velocity value i.e. 127 to controller input
etc
