Controller Clip Method
Posted: Sat Oct 11, 2008 3:00 pm
I understand now how to trigger commands in sooperlooper by triggering midi clips in Live that contain midi notes..... but nothing seems to trigger in sync. I would much rather use this method if I could get everything to trigger in sync since you can do multiple SL commands with a single foot press by having multiple notes in a single clip.
I still testing the same set at 52 bpm, 4/4 time signature, 8th/cycle - 8.0, quantize - cycle
When I trigger SL with Live clips instead of directly with my foot controller I understand to turn Midi Monitor to off but still send the midi output to SL.
In my Live clip I have the note G3 on the downbeat of the first measure and note F#3 on the downbeat of the 3rd measure and on the downbeat of the fifth measure another F#3.
In SL I set my midi bindings to note 67 (G3) to record, and note 66 (F#3) to overdub.
Then in Live I set one pedal on my midi controller to trigger the first scene. So in theory when I trigger the scene, it should start recording on the downbeat, then 2 measures later Overdub should end the 'Record', then 2 measures later overdub would be ended.
What actually happens though is that record is trigger but it says 'waiting to sync' till the live clip get to the third measure where overdub is supposed to start then it finally goes into record mode. I have 8ths/cycle set to 8 so there should only be eight 8th notes to a cycle. (one measure)
I hope this makes sense. Anybody have any advice on how to get this method operating in sync??
Thank you in advance for any help,
Todd
