Ableton Forum

Hi, I was wondering if anyone out there knows of a way to send a live loop from abletons looper into a clip without using the mouse and the "drag me" option.
I know this is a long shot, but I would love to be able to set up a midi mapped message to take care of this.

For example: If I start my looper, recording a bar or 2. Then be able to press a midi botton on APC40 (for example) and it would automatically send it to the next available clip in the track that the looper and instrument is on.

Does this make sense? Sounds like a good idea hey?

Does anyone know of a max4live patch that does something simular to this. I have max4live but have never tried making my own patches. Maybe this means it's time I learn. But I thought id ask here first.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks

Shaun

rbrt23's SUPERLOOPER patch has an auto export feature.
It gives a random name to an exported loop. These exported loops are saved to files you assign a path too.

SO, you could maybe figure out a way to place these exported loops into a Track without any mouse commands.
Not sure if this is possible though, the loading of audio clips from folder without dragging and dropping from the browser.

HOWEVER, you could bypass the Audio Clip thing all together and load these exported clips into some makeshift M4L patch on an audio track, and somehow set these loops to play pending which 'clip box' you fired.

rbrt23 is supposedly working on some crazy big Live looper, you should ask him about it at maxforlive.com

Thank you, I'll look in to that
