I too am having this issue. Glad it’s not just me! It’s sidelined the device for me unfortunately.

I also tried flashing on the effects controller config, it just doesn’t seem to be pinging ableton for the CC statuses on preset changes. Midi monitor shows 4 resets from the DL and then this sysex:
20:26:34.762 From DataLooper SysEx Key Concepts 6 bytes F0 1E 09 00 00 F7

Then nothin.

Time out! I do see it. I changed my tester to CC 20 bc it’s an unassigned CC, and it’s value IS being sent to the DL but only on when I switch back to preset 1, not when I switch to preset 5 (my pedalboard).

Thanks for this info. I used midimonitor and saw mostly sysex msgs being sent to the datalooper and only 2 control messages which were for a mod wheel on channel 2. My settings are exactly as in the userguide, I’m running the script, input/output are on datalooper, and the track/sync/remote settings are as directed. Before we continue I should ask: is this a Live 10 only feature? Because I have Live 9.

Oh and for the program change I see your point. It’s just in my functionality I use program changes to switch midi instrument patches, so it would be cool if I could have an LED that showed which I have selected. In this case it would light up on what you press, then when you press another, the previous LED turns off and the new one turns on, so it’s one at a time. Not sure if that’s a pain in the butt, but I can’t be the only one patch switchin out here, I sure hope not!

Well hot damn that’s exciting! Mine isn’t functioning like that at the moment however. I do have track and remote (and sync) set up in the Datalooper output. I switch to my guitar preset (preset 5). I hit the first switch which is a CC toggle set to CC1 on channel 2, the LED lights up, I switch back to preset 1, then back to 5 and that LED is not lit. I tried disconnecting my other controller (Akai MPK249) but still didn’t work. What else should I try? Thanks!

[Grant Gordon]

Awesome thanks.

[Grant Gordon]

No, but you can download the default config from the “resources” tab, load it up and work from that.

[Grant Gordon]

Yes that’s what I was thinking, a clip-only option in the config software. I’d put it on a long press for each loop, you’d press it on the loop you want to duplicate, maybe the LED would blink once, and now you know that clip also exists in the next scene, from there you could build other grooves on top of the same clip without ever stopping the beat (or bassline or whatever) and switch between them through one button scene selecting instead of a clip-launching riverdance. I figured since it’s a menu command (both audio and midi clips) it would be available in the API but then again I have no idea what is or isn’t available in the API, so it might not be worth it if it’s a pain. I could assign a cmd-d keystroke through Bomes if needed. Thanks for considering it!
