Observe Ableton Looper to know if "empty" or not
Hello,
i'm working on a M4L patch to control Ableton Looper my way, I'm now facing an issue that I wasn't able to resolve with the help of Google.
Is it possible to know if a looper is empty (no clip has been recorded) or not (a clip has been recorded) ?
I guess I would need to use "live.observer" but after that I'm lost, what is the path, what do I put in the left Inlet ?
Any help is appreciated. :)
Nope, there is no property that can tell you if it is empty or has audio in it. Only if it is playing, stopped, recording or overdubbing.
Okay thanks !
For other people that has the same "problem", the workaround I found is to stop using the "direct" looper button and instead only using midi-mapping and M4L. You can create a patch that keep track of the state of looper and if it was recorded, cleared or not. I may post this patch later, but it's not ready yet.
Hi there
Did you eventually work out this patch ?
I'm stuck with the same problem.
Thanks !
