Just reporting back... As reported in this thread, I have these problems in Live 11.0.12.

Since upgrading to 11.2.10, they have all but gone away. It now has the "Use System Device" option for the Input and Output device, which I imagine I could make use of, but I really haven't had to use that ...

I still have this problem. I've had it in previous versions of Live and with different audio interfaces, but I currently see it in Live version 11.0.12 with my Roland Octa-Capture v1.51. I'm on MacOS, not sure if that's true of all the posters on this thread.

I mapped the different note to my stop ...

Ok, thanks for checking. I've never used those kinds of tools. Can they detect a double-tap or triple-tap (e.g. on a midi note) and do something different with it?

I use a ...

Double-tap to stop.
But if you have one more stomp/footswitch available you'd better off directly mapping the little stop button imho.


Thanks for the reply. Double tap doesn't stop for me when I'm in Record mode. Any number of taps during Record cues Overdub mode to start on the next boundary ...

Hello All,

When I'm using Ableton's Looper and I've pressed the one button (multi-purpose transport button) to start it in the initial record-mode, I'd like to use the one button to set it to continue recording until the next bar (or whatever the boundary is) and then _Stop_.
