anyone manage to make a simple midi looper?

Post by chaosmoon » Tue Aug 30, 2011 11:36 pm

The single button/foot-pedal operation of the audio looper is great and i was wondering if anyone has come up with a doable solution for midi looping? I've seen the kid beyond style tutorials, but i want:

record then play
stop/play
delete

from 1 single input.

I've put in a few sessions with M4L poking at the live API, but am running into weird behaviour where the patch will react as expected from a bang within the UI but skip things when triggered by incoming midi. On the cycling74 board someone suggested it has to do with high and low priority as described here:

Besides this i havn't come up with a way to delete a clip or notes without using the [aka.keyboard] object to simulate keyboard input which can get messy if the focus is not on clips (deleting tracks and instruments)

Anyone else had a go at this?
