Hi Daniel,
3. Is there a way of choosing loop from drop down menu in Saved Loops or File Player by MIDI controller? I didn’t see it in midi settings.
1 – Make a macro to load the saved loops and/or audio file in the File Player. Below is an example :
//Macro begin
//Load a preset
PresetRecall “File Player loaded” WaitUntilLoaded
//tell the File Player insert to load an audio file
InsertSendMessage trk10 1 LoadFile “TacTac-1.aiff”
//Launch the File Player
InsertSendMessage trk10 1 Play
//Wait the user relaunch this macro to load another audio file and play it
WaitUserAction
//tell the File Player insert to load an audio file
InsertSendMessage trk10 1 LoadFile “Chorus-1.aiff”
//Launch the File Player
InsertSendMessage trk10 1 Play
//Wait the user relaunch this macro to load a loop in A
WaitUserAction
//Load a loop in A and play
LoadLoop 20160407-Yeah-backwards A
//Wait the user relaunch this macro to Mute the current loop
WaitUserAction
//Mute immediately the current loop
Mute
Mute
//Wait the user relaunch this macro to Erase the current loop
WaitUserAction
//Erase the current loop
EraseLoop A
//Macro end
2 – Load this macro in a slot. Let’s say in the Slot 5
3 – Go in the Midi/Commands/Macros panel in the project settings
4 – Activate midi commands
5 – Connect a midi note to the macro slot 5.
6 – save and close your preference panel.
7 – you can play your new macro with your MIDI keyboard/footboard
If needed, I can send you a project containing the example of your first and third questions.
