Sending midi start messages

Ran into a problem at practice today.

I need to have my loops in sooperlooper be a certain length so that a max patch that someone else is using plays audio files back at the proper pitch.

I set up a loop in SL that I load into Loop1 and then sync to that. I then start looping in the other slots. Works great.

We have another band member that is using Ableton Live. It seems that SL is not sending a midi start message to him unless I use the record function on loop1. Any suggestions for this?

I noticed a global mappable command that looked somewhat promising - use_midi_start , use_midi_stop. They didn't do anything. Ideally, what I would want to happen is for the loop that I load to not playback on load and to send a start signal on the trigger of it.

Yeah, those options you found relate to how SL handles *incoming* midi start and stop messages. I think I just need to add the feature that sends a midi start message on trigger (it will be an option). Thanks for the request.

Any idea when the next release will be?

Trying to figure out if I need to come up with something for the meantime.

Thanks!

I'm afraid to give you a date on that. It could be as early as next week, though.

That sounds great. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't months away.

!!! as early as next week!

I've just started with SL and can't wait to see what improvements, whatever they may be, however slight.

cheers~
