[amo] Looper not working with foot pedal

Post by zanlyons » Thu Mar 19, 2009 11:09 pm

When using the looper with a pedal the first loop records fine then the next loop stops recording after about a second

Hi,

We'd need a bit more details about how you setup things, if the transport is running or not in Live while recording loops, also, what are the Looper settings. Last: when you say "the next loop", is it recording another loop in the same Looper, or in another one?

i think i'm having the same problem.

-live transport is running
-hit pedal, record starts
-i set it to stop after a number of bars
-every perfect so far

-when i hit the pedal again it sorta goes into overdub mode, it
1) lines turn orange, but only for a second or so
2) comes in unquantized
3) doesn't actually record for the second or so it is in overdub mode

-everything works perfectly when i mouse click the big looper button

i thought maybe it was my gear being set up wrong (remoteSL25 with a sustain pedal). but i tried all sustain pedal configurations (and tried assigning other controls to the big looper button) and nothing fixed the problem.
starting the record, double clicking and hold for 2seconds all do their proper functions, just not the overdub.

thanks!!

I can not reproduce that. All the rest is normal: going from Overdub to Play and back, is not quantized. So, you say that you go to overdub, and it automatically returns to play after like a second?

Please try in beta 22, as we fixed a number of bugs in the Looper.
