Hi Philippe. Now almost a year since you wrote “I promise that we will have a fix in a not so long time as it is something important…”. Any progress on this?

Philippe, now there has been a couple of months since last. Are there any updates on this fix? Thanks!

Hello!

I just now read the 6.1 Release notes and found this “Metronome / Looper: Fixed the link synchrinisation”. Does this mean that you have found a fix to the Ableton Link issue?

[DanielAkerberg]

Ok, then I know you are still working on the issue. Thanks for the update. If possible, please keep me in the loop with the progress!

[DanielAkerberg]

Hi Philippe!

I am now trying the Metronome Master With Link together with Ableton Live with my latest Logelloop 6 version. When I have bpm 120 and record for 4 beats the loop should be 88200 samples long (since I am using 44100 as sample rate) but each time I record (with both Main Looper or Insert Looper) I get different lengths, either some number near 88080 OR some number near 88300. This means the loop will be slightly too short or too long and after a few rounds you can clearly hear it is no longer in sync with beat in Ableton Live. Is the sample length exactly 88200 on your computer? Thanks!

I now found the issue. It was the Synchro = 4 setting on Insert Looper that gave the strange result above. I now set Synchro = “Free” and it works.

Hello!

I tried your proposal above and it works for all the cases where the SelectionIn = 0 and the modification is done to the SelectionOut. But as soon as I add a value in SelectionIn strange things are done that I do not understand. I think the strange thing happens during defining the selection. A have the below macro code

—–
InsertSendMessage fx1 1 SelectionIn 40000
InsertSendMessage fx1 1 SelectionOut {$Looper_fx1_rank1_current_length$}
WaitDuration 10
InsertSendMessage fx1 1 AudioMessages Copy
WaitDuration 200
InsertSendMessage fx1 1 AudioMessages Paste
—–

Before Macro Length = 88000
After Macro Length = 66000 (I was expecting 48000 since we should have removed 40000 samples from the start)

When I run the above macro without Copy and Paste to see what happens using SelectionIn/SelectionOut this is the values i see in the Insert Looper:

Begin: 22000
End: 110000
Length: 88000

I cannot make any sense of the above values. Why is the Begin 22000 and not 40000? And should End really be able to have a value AFTER Length?

Thanks

Hello,

I was probably a bit unclear. I should not have used to TrackLoopBegin/EndAt variables since they are actually used for setting the selection of a loop, which is not what I am looking for. I am look for a way to actually modify the recorded file itself. So if the recorded file (or loop) has a length of 80000.0 samples I might want to trim it so that i ends 5000.0 samples earlier and the file (loop) has now got a length of 75000.0 samples. And from this there would be no going back of course. Is there such a function? Thanks

[DanielAkerberg]

Thanks!

[DanielAkerberg]

Yes, of course. I don’t know why I suddenly forgot about this… Thanks!

[DanielAkerberg]

Apparently this is connected to if the specific FX 1-5 is connected to the Inserts 1-5 as per your picture above. If for example Fx 1 is not connected to an insert this Insert Looper does not get “stuck” in a selection

[DanielAkerberg]

Now the triggering of Insert 2-5 works fine! However, I have found another strange behaviour that I cannot explain. When I have red marked/selected only “Slices” the selctions are swithcing in main looper in accordance to Slicer settings. In this case the Insert Loopers should not be affected at all by the Slicer (because no Insert 1-8 have been red marked), but what happens is that at the moment when Slicer is started all Insert Loopers get “stuck” in one selection from where the current playhead is located. This is very strange since nothing should happen to the Insert loopers. Any ideas?

[DanielAkerberg]

Ok. Thanks!

[DanielAkerberg]

Thanks!

I will look into the above.

One thing though. You write that a RepeatWhile Loop cannot be stopped from the outside. However when I trigger the below CaseBranch from a second matrix (where I set the same Global variable $rndSliceActivated$ used in the first Matrix RepeatWhile statement) then the loops selection is reset and the RepeatWhile loop in the first Matrix is stopped and I can trigger another CaseBranch. To me this means that the RepeatWhile CAN be stopped from the outside, right? Or am I misunderstanding something?

—–Second Matrix—–
CaseBranch 1
Set $rndSliceActivated$ = false
MidiSend “Launchpad MK2” 150 106 5
WaitDuration 500
TrackLoopReset trk_all
InsertSendMessage fx1 1 SelectionReset
BreakCaseBranch

Sure. Below is the full Matrix Macro:

Declare Local int $itemID$ = 0

Declare Local int $verticalPosition$ = 1

Declare Once boolean $rndSliceActivated$ = false

If { $firstTime$ }
$firstTime$ = false

//Sleep 300
SendData thispatcher itemamount 2

Sleep 200

SendData mainWindow setsize 463 {30 + ($itemSize$ * 1)}
