Surface Control for Live's Looper available on Kickstarter

pag's icon

Hi there

I have created and designed a MIDI controller that interacts with Live's Looper device, showing its state and controlling it.
You can also launch Scenes with it, and control parameters in Live with Expression Pedals.
It's called "State Of The Loop", and there's a Kickstarter going on here until Dec 7, 2018.
This pedal owes A LOT to this forum and this community, so I wanted to thank you all.

Feel free to ask questions if you have any.
(also, there's a little gift on the page, a MFL device that displays essential information about your Live session, and allows to easily make Scenes "follow actions").
Best,
Pierre

I know this is a MAx forum, but wouldn't it have been better to write a python control surface for the controller itself??

At first I tried to make a Python Script, but then I realized there were some things that would be har to achieve (like knowing how many loopers are in the set and give them names so that you don't mix them up). Plus making a M4L device enabled me to add several features (Expression pedals with "dynamic mapping", the "Auto Mute" function...).
So yes, M4L was a better option (plus I'm using the MaxForLive remote script that appeared in Live 10)
