SL Multiple instances - bring current SL window to the front

4273 — 2010-07-29T11:34:41-07:00

Hi,

Up untill now I have been using Live's new looper. I'm starting to run into problems - as we know it only has one track, but there are memory issues when using it. Currently I have a looper effect on each of 6 tracks. I use a controller to start and stop loops. And also select a track, which will then show me my current active looper.

I'd like to start doing the same thing. ^ tracks, each with their own SL instance, so, for now, 6 sooperlooper instances.

Questions:

1> Have there been any issues with multiple instances of sooperlooper. Is 6 too many, or on a system with 8 gig of RAM I should be ok?

2> And then the crux of my post, how do I bring current running sooperlooper to the front? With 6 instances, there isn't really enough screen space to display them all, so I'd like to switch between SL windows, suing a controller, and not the keyboard. I've even tried things like quickeys, but that doesn't seem to work.

I know this is an odd request, but any help much appreciated.

Thx

Tara

Metronome click

4271 — 2010-07-29T05:22:37-07:00

It would be nice to be able to allow the internal sooperlooper metronome to click or not (without being recorded into a loop).

Hi Ttoine,
I post this message just to renew this post. I'm also interested in advices concerning inserting linux software effects in a rig using sooperlooper with Linux.

How to manually set loop length?

4270 — 2010-07-26T16:31:47-07:00

Ok what I want to be able to do is;

Be able to type manually the loop cycle..for example 8 seconds exact because when I press record and stop the loop it varies from loop1 to loop2 and so on.

Using:

Apogee Duet I Korg MicroX Synth I MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo

Re: Roland FC-300 MIDI bindings

4269 — 2010-07-26T11:38:45-07:00

Ok, without a further shot or file being necessary, I can also say that what the Roland thinks to be a 1, 2, 3, etc. is understood by SL to be a 0, 1, 2, etc. respectively. Both in Standard Mode and in Patch Mode. The "how do we count" (1-128 or 0-127) thing, I'll assume...

And: Standard Mode includes these "bank select" control messages with 0-values. Patch mode, on the other hand, just sends pure "PC#" messages. So I suppose this is what's confusing to SL in Standard Mode?

When I use the two "CTRL" pedals in patch mode (the manual seems to suggest that I can program these too, but I haven't figured out how to single them out for programming in actual practice, since some patch pedal is always lit and applicable when in Patch Mode), I get this: On = Control - Ch1 - General Purpose 5 127; Off = Control Ch1 General Purpose 5 0 (that's CTRL 1; CTRL 2 is the same thing with 6 instead of 5). I'm wondering why, then, SL shows me "ch1 - cc - 80" (CTRL 1) and "...-81" (CTRL 2) for both "on" and "off." (which, strangely enough, is what Roland's manual tells me it should be sending -- but without "on" or "off"). If I could get it to differentiate between "on" and "off", it would be cool to use the one for Overdub and the other for Mute-Trigger ... but I don't know if that's doable. Hmm...

Hope that's not too much information at once ... the MIDI Monitor program is extremely helpful, in any case -- thanks for making me aware of that!

Re: Newbe Help Installing SL in Ableton Live 8

53 — 2010-07-25T05:08:02-07:00

Sorry for the lack of response. Putting the component file in your Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/ is the right place. Plugins are organized by manufacturer in Live, so SooperLooper will be under essej.net as SooperLooperAU. I don't have Live v8, but I know others use it with no problems.

Comparing SooperLooper and a Boss RC-50 SL Missing features

75 — 2010-07-15T12:55:31-07:00

For background: I started with a GNX4 (multifx with builtin looper), but it was limited, and I really wanted to be able to toggle tracks on and off with stomp boxes/midi, for layering, the gnx4 was sequential, unless you leaned down and pressed little buttons with your hands

First I tried sooperlooper, using a Roland FC-300 to control it, but when I was done playing with one idea and wanted to go onto the next, I had no command to send a stop to all loops, and then start playing sync'd to a different temp based on a new primary loop.

I've been using a Boss RC-50 for the past 2 months, and these are what I think sooper looper is missing, that keeps it from being as good as the RC-50

Missing: Stop all Loops, Start all Loops, Save session (track settings and audio data), Load session (track settings and audio data), clear session (keep the number of tracks, and type(stereo/mono) wipe tempo and audio data then restart tracks at their beginning)

With those features implemented I could use sooperlooper as easily as my RC-50, without them though sooperlooper is too painful for me to personally use in a productive manner

This one Is just fun, and would be nice to see.

Single mode:
each loop is a separate recording that isn't layered you can switch between loops for different parts of a song (think verse, chourus, bridge)

start recording on one, you can layer that one, or switch to a new one, at which time it starts recording, then that loop can be stopped and layered, and you can switch (which starts the loops from the start)

Re: Controlling Loop Position

4242 — 2010-07-14T09:09:46-07:00

yeah, while set_sync_pos working as it does may be very cool in some situations, it would also be nice to have another command, something like:

/sl/0/set sync_pos 1.5

and

/sl/0/get sync_pos osc."udp://localhost:port" path

Re: setting loop position with OSC

4242 — 2010-07-14T08:18:40-07:00

sorry, wrong section... didn't see there was an OSC specific one

So I managed to get the basic OSC messages between sc and sl, very cool! This really expands the potentialites of sooperlooper...

However, I still didn't manage to set the loop position. I tried:

/sl/0/set loop_pos 0.6

with a 4 second loop in position 0, but it doesn't work. Strange, because getting it works:

/sl/0/get loop_pos osc."udp://localhost:57120" /sc

Am I missing something?

Re: Laptop Equipment Setup

4264 — 2010-07-11T15:27:36-07:00

Thanks; I'll look into the korg nano.
How do you get the loop to end at the precise end of the 4 measures?
Does it just take practice at hitting the record on/off button precisely?

Re: sooperlooper crashes when record hits end of loop mem time

I have run across a problem that seems to be consistent. I default to having 6 stereo loops.
In this session I have 2 loops recorded and was working on the 3rd loop having all three loops with the sync button and loop2 and loop3 with the "play sync" activated. Quantize is set to loop and sync to loop1.
When I hit the record button it generally waits to start recording until the playing loop restarts, then if I hit the record button again, it would stop recording when loop1 ended. However, if I keep recording past that spot then tap the record button, then it will continue recording until it hits the end of the preset memory which is at 43.69 seconds. Unfortunately if the later happens, sooperlooper crashes and has to be restarted (with all data from that session lost unless it was saved prior to the crash.) This has happened to me twice in a row.

Thanks you for the post.

Re: Acoustic Piano Looping Improv

Hi M 先生,

I'm using a Korg Nano Kontrol to control SooperLooper. They make 3 "nano" controllers: 1 with pads and an x/y controller, 1 with a buttons setup like a mini musical keyboard, and 1 with knobs, buttons and sliders (the one I use in the video)

Thanks for your comments!

Re: TouchOSC

4153 — 2010-06-15T23:16:40-07:00

I'm using the SooperLooper audio unit on a sidechain on an instrument track in Logic 9.0. I'll process the OSC messages in Max/MSP to forward to SL. I'm hoping I can find some nice OSC objects to use. I may as well as create a custom interface in Max/MSP. As I write this I realize that creating my own interface is exactly what I want to explore with your engine. Thanks a lot for your work, it's an awesome achievement...I'll just keep saying that.

Sorry, one quick question which I will cross post in the right category. I'm wondering with the current interface, is it possible to record a loop (t1), quantize the record start on t2, and have t2 record one cycle and then continue to loop the cycle which is the same length of t1. I only seem to be able to get it to stop recording by enaging 'Once', but I don't want it to mute t2 after it starts playing. Should I expect this to work if I have the correct sync settings?

Finding a workflow that works for me...

4260 — 2010-06-15T06:02:43-07:00

The real challenge now after getting SuperLooper up and running in Logic is making it work in a way that does what I want it to, and therefore I have some questions if anyone is able to help...

Ideally I think I would like to send 1 guitar from my input, to several instances of superlooper on busses so that I can set loops with different effects etc running concurrently.

Trouble is, how do I synch separate instances of superlooper? (In fact at the moment I'm struggling to synch loops at all - they are drifting apart?).

Or is there another way of doing this? I'm pretty confused by all this so far...

Some youtube video tutorials as part of the manual would be useful... the setup process and first steps is not entirely intuitive. I appreciate the work that's being done though.

Thanks in advance!

Re: SL and Samson C01U USB microphone clash

Hello,

I am starting up a Home Studio and already have a USB Microphone but have been told by a few people that this will not provide as good of a quality of sound as a Mic with an XLR or even a TRS connector. Is this true?

Re: Automate song for live performance?

4259 — 2010-06-11T10:20:55-07:00

I haven't tried it live, but I imagine creating Midi bindings to the buttons that you would need to automate, then use a midi sequencer to send that data to sooper looper on the click of just one button in the sequencer. Now although this would take a bit over before hand time to setup, if you had similar song structure (ie all of them are 4 chord songs all the way through, then it would be pretty easy to just reuse the sequence again and again.

Just an idea. I know this is an old thread, but still.
