Can you open up mr. datalooper, remove the switch and email a photo & your address to info@datalooperpedal.com? It sounds like you need a replacement switch sent out. We’ve gone through a few manufacturers, so I just want to verify which switch type you have.

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…[Read more]

Hi Jeff, I believe we spoke on the phone. The template was updated to put undo controls on the top row of the unit. 9-11 having the ‘command if looper playing’ set to none is also correct.

Hi Ernesto, any phone charger or power bank that’s meant to work with a USB device should work just fine.

Hi guys, it sounds like maybe there are a few things going on. 1. Currently, there’s no way to read current presets; the config software is one way, from Chrome to the pedal. 2. It sounds like there’s some issue flashing configs if it’s hanging on red lights; the expected behavior is that the lights all turn red while flashing, then turn green.…[Read more]

I think this may have been due to some changes I made to the config software. It seems that stops got registered as clears for some reason. I’m working to see if I can find a fix for older config files, but in the meantime, try the new vertical config file on the resources page, or in your custom config, remove the looper control with the stop…[Read more]

Hi, yes you can definitely use Datalooper as just a MIDI controller, just know that it won’t have the same LED feedback. You can use the Datalooper Config software to program whatever CC messages the Boss RC505 expects to receive. Check out the RC505 manual, and they should have a MIDI implementation chart somewhere in there.

Hey guys, I think I have a fix for you. Try out the new config and 3.1 beta remote script (also update the firmware). This was a fairly complicated problem, and had to do with the default vertical config sending out multiple commands depending on the press/release state. This update adds a few things:

1. You can now save your config files from…[Read more]

Hmm, it’s possible there’s a hardware error with the Datalooper board. There were a few units right when V2 was introduced that had an issue with the wrong voltage going to the EXP jacks (5v instead of 3.3v). I believe the symptom of that though was that the pedal would send out 127 at the halfway mark, rather than the full range. If you want, you…[Read more]

Hi Dave, can you check that the expression pedal range is set correctly? Most expression pedals have a little range knob.

I’ll send you guys an updated script shortly. I believe I found the issue and have fixed. So sorry I missed this original post until now.p

Hi, I believe we got you sorted via email, lemme know if you still need help!

Hmmm, are you certain you’ve flashed the correct firmware? I haven’t had any issues on 11.1. Also, does the Datalooper blink when transport is running (indicating the remote script is connected)? Also…is the remote script showing up next to input + output in the Ableton midi prefs?

Hi! It’s possible your config had a different channel configured than the default config. By default, the Datalooper template is linked to MIDI channel 14. Unless there’s an Ableton bug I’m not aware of, there should be no reason that the template would not link the MIDI mappings. Can you confirm you were on channel 14?

Hmm what version are you on? This will work with 2 DL instances but I haven’t tested with a CL and DL simultaneously. You can try putting LED in the name, like “DL#1 LED” and the other track just named “CL#1”. This may help, but I’ll have to test on my own to see if there’s something else going on.

Hi, Ableton 11 has been fully tested but I have not had the opportunity to test with M1 processors as of yet.

Hi! Version 3.0 should fully support 11.

Try the 2.9 Beta script on the resources page. I think I fixed your issues 🙂

Awesome thank you for the detailed steps! I’ll work on this asap and get back to you when I have more info. Thanks again!
