DataLooper and push flow?

[Jon Adams]

Picking up the DL after a lot of downtime, moving and family stuff, so building out looping rig again today.

Is there a suggested workflow for those of us who use a push for Midi?

It seems that every time I press the data looper, the focus is taken off the track I am actively playing to the track with the looper, meaning I can’t play.

Is this expected, and if so I guess the best options would be to use clip recording with the midi tracks or put the looper on the midi track itself maybe?

Also tried just not using the DL for tracks I record on push and it unarms all tracks when I record a clip on the push track which mucks with the datalooper flow.

I think it works if I use CL# on the midi clips controlled rather than sends. I’ll set the second/third presets to be push instruments and the first to be analog loops.

Hi Jon, if you’re using the default .als template, there is a mapping on the looper device itself which you can remove. That mapping was intended to bring focus to the looper you’ve just recorded on for beginners to have a secondary visual aid, but it’s not necessary. Outside of that, there’s nothing in the script that changes focus. I don’t personally own a push, but I know the Push script does some pretty crazy stuff, so, yeah, there may be a bit of investigation necessary to see if there’s anything conflicting. I’m happy to make modifications to my script if there’s something overtly off.
