Logelloop 6.3.8 introduced Midi Mapper, a data plug-in dedicated to controlling Logelloop interfaces using external Midi devices. This new system is set to replace the old system, which will remain in place for some time. However, we encourage all Logelloop users to quickly transition to the new system.
You can have multiple Midi Mappers in the same project, the only limitation being that you need a different Midi Mapper for each Midi device. However, the same Midi device can be connected to multiple Midi Mappers and you can switch between Midi devices on the fly.
You can save settings for each Midi device and each Midi Mapper. This means that you can change all the settings of a MIDI Mapper by loading a new memory. And of course, you can export and import your settings from one Logelloop project to another. When the memory is loaded, the MIDI Mapper sends the current state of the Logelloop user interfaces to the external MIDI device, which will then perfectly reflect the state of Logelloop.
We have done our utmost to ensure that the functions offered by Midi Mapper are as comprehensive as possible. You can, of course, perform very basic tasks such as changing the status of a Logelloop value by sliding a Midi fader or turning a rotary knob, but you can also scroll through values in lists using Midi controllers or buttons. You can also navigate menus using a Midi controller or go to the next or previous item in a menu by pressing Midi buttons. You can then load memories into modules simply by using a controller or Midi button.
You can also differentiate between pressing and releasing a button, allowing you to perform quick actions that last only as long as the button is pressed. For example, you can change the pitch value, activate distortion, or record a loop.
The Midi Mapper’s auto-learn function means you’ll never have to wonder what the note or channel of a Midi command is, and setting up your devices will be extremely quick.
The functions provided in the Midi Mapper should also help you perform complex actions without using scripts (macros). Of course, macros will still be available for very specific cases, and you can activate macros using the Midi Mapper.
The Midi Mapper can be connected to standard Midi devices, as well as your Ableton Push interfaces or devices that communicate using the MC protocol.
Below you will find the first tutorial for the Midi Mapper. We were unable to cover all possible combinations in this tutorial, so it is very likely that other tutorials will follow.
