Loopmaster

Summary

LoopMaster is a Mod that controls up to 4 individual MaxLoopers that are grouped in a rack on a seperate audio channel. LoopMaster must be placed on a MIDI capable track. It is possible to control the loopers by assignment of its controls in Live's MIDI Map, by triggering its functions from MIDI (from live input or a session clip), and by connecting a pedal device to a MonOhm through its expansion port (Block to come shortly, if anyone tells me they need it). You can see a picture of the pedal that is used to control it on the bottom of the page, along with the LCD screen app designed into the Lemur AumPad/256 scripts to display feedback information from the loopers.

The LoopMaster's controls are mostly just redundant versions of the MaxLooper's controls, with a few exceptions.

These are the implements of the LoopMaster plugin, which is designed to control 4 instances of MaxLooper. The pedal selects loop number, reverses, clears, overdubs, records, and mutes for individual loops or all at once. It can advance back or forward between loops, select a specific loop, or select all loops. It also has a quarter inch stereo jack on the rear which allows you to connect an expression pedal to control feedback amount for the selected loop (here I have it hooked up to a slightly modified volume pedal, just because it feels better).

This is a pic of the new LCD app, which will work for either a Lemur setup or a window on your computer that's running Live and Monomodular. The upper window shows the Looper GUI, and the lower shows the LCD for the OhmRGB that's currently connected to it. The plan is to have that same panel work for all the other controllers that I support with Monomodular.

Basically, the top portion functions as feedback for the four MaxLoopers connected to it. The current selected loop is highlighted in white. The current loop position is indicated by the dial. The state of the looper is indicated by the button in the middle. The amount of feedback is displayed below each dial.

Eventually, these LCD objects will become controls as well.
