Using dummy clips to control looper?

Hey guys,

So I'm pretty well up and running with multiple instruments/multiple instances of looper, but I'm looking to automate things like track arm/select and, particularly looper functions (stop for instance), through scene changes. I have a handle on audio dummy clips affecting tracks with clips loaded, but I'm not using clips on my looper track, so now I'm kind of at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you make a MIDI feedback loop, you can assign parameters to midi notes or cc#. Then have a midi track consisting of those notes+cc# within it's clips as automations. This midi track will go out to (whatever is connected to going back into Live) and back into Live. Sorry, tired, not making sense. Software options require less cords. Lastly, be aware of any potential latency. You might want some things triggering before the scene is triggered.

Hey thanks so much for the replies!! Judging by the videos and documentation, ClyphX is just what I've been looking for! This is the kind of control over the functionality of live that I've been looking for, very excited to get started with it. Thanks again for the help guys.
