Undock Looper to Its Own Window, Always Visible?

Post by radionowhere » Sun Dec 02, 2012 1:34 am

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find any relevant search terms that brought anything up in the forums.

I'm building a Live Set for performance (i'm a singer/guitarist/keyboardist), and it would be REALLY great to be able to see the current state of each my two separate loopers at a glance.

Is there any way to undock the loopers (or any other native effect) from the device area so that they're always visible, even if I select a track other than the ones the loopers are inserted in?

I'm starting to think that I might have to learn to program in Max to create the type of status display I'm looking for...and I'd really rather not do that. :D

Any thoughts? Thanks!

I map the same cc message to each looper's record button in the looper device title bar (or track's title bar). This way whenever you trigger the record button, that particular looper comes into focus. Not the same as having multiple loopers being seen at once, but a good way to get a visual cue without mousing around.

And here I am 11 years later, looking to solve the same problem and seems like nothing has changed.
