How do I send Looper's status (like record state) to my controller? In this case it's the Akai MPK Mini

There is a 4 state parameter that you can observe on the looper. I can't remember it's index right now to get a path to it as I'm at work.

On the subject of looper control, It's a real shame you can't map to the record or reset button in the looper. I'm having to use a midi loop back hack!

ok thanks. am i looking at this object then? http://cycling74.com/docs/max5/refpages ... erver.html

yes you have to pass it the ID of the state parameter which you can get from a live.path.

is there a "general" tutorial on this topic that i can make use of? something for beginners hopefully.

Hi,

I recently created a max4live device to monitor Looper states. You can find it here:

Maybe it gives you some ideas how to use live.observer for your usecase.

thanks this is a good device for me in general. but a little daunting seeing what it takes to monitor the status of the loopers
