Hey - from a developers point of view it is always a challenge to decide between "User friendly"/"Accessible"/"Clear" and adding more functionality/flexibility. I went for this approach as it makes it clear which tracks are being controlled. By using the PopUp windows you are able to customise the control layout even better to your needs (then using the devices track view.) Cheers Tobi

Hi Tobi! What an awesome device which covers soo many possibilities Ableton should have implemented by default for years! Thanks a lot, purchased directly after watching your video :) The use cases you described in the video just work like a charm! One thing which is confusing me is when the looper is part of your live set, it seems you are not supposed to make any changes to the amount of tracks or even scenes, because the looper will just trigger clips while the change is happening. In my case I'm occasionally capturing and adding new scenes which I am then working with. Or it happens that I want to spontaneously a new track while the transport is running. This does not work because each time the looper is triggering clips or even removing the latest one when a change to set happens. Do you have an idea why this happens or is there any way how to prevent this from happening? Thanks a lot
@abletondrummer

Hey Thomas - thx for your feedback - yep I understand that this is causing an issue for your specific use case. The challenge is that Ableton Live is 'handing out' IDs and paths for tracks which are updated when adding more tracks. So when adding a track this is currently causing the looper to trigger (as it is getting updated internally) - I decided to have this as it will auto-update everything else without the need to hit "Refresh" on each looper and for the majority of users this makes more sense. I will put this on my to-do list but I can't say for sure IF this can be solved without making this less user-friendly (as you would need to "Refresh" all loopers).

This is really really good. I bought a tiny m4l plugin called "mm.Clip Looper" a while ago, which has a similar approach in layering several clips - but the One Button Looper has what it really takes to be a great looper: You actually see what's going on! That's so good and so necessary when the background of this whole thing is a convoluted huge group track, haha. I still have absolutely no idea though, why Ableton as a company sucks so much, that since its initial release, the original Looperplugin has not been improved - and that there is no AUDIO OVERDUB IN CLIPS. I just don't get it. How hard can audio-overdub in clips be? And why did the universe decide that even though there are ten-thousand "Ableton certified trainers", Abletonfans, Abletonproducers, and especially real Ableton-Live-Performers, that noone of them had an impact on the Developers, so they finally do their work? That's the mystery of the universe. Sorry for ranting about Ableton, i guess seeing the gigantic Feature Request List of Abletons Beta Forum and zero developer-interaction with it since several years had a negative impact on my opinion.

But if you set count in to zero and the trigger to 'note on' maybe this will work? Tldr; - arm a track for recording, either precreate blank clips or utilize a m4l device to set default length of new clips, then the clip will start recording the moment you start playing ANY notes.

No solution for starting a clip record when I first start to play a note though can be found anywhere.

Anyways lets look at this one step back: You want to be able to trigger "Start Transport" + "Start recording" when you play a sound. Even technically as this would be possible to program you might run into issues as the trigger recording need to be instant and coming BEFORE your sound/MIDI, so sound/MIDI would need to be deferred = not ideal and IMHO I wouldn't suggest that. HOWEVER I have a few devices which are doing that for the transport start AND I do custom stuff for cash - (asp I don't see that this would be something I would release as a product...).

That way the action could be whatever the user wants the moment the user starts playing the keyboard. The reason for this is during live performance sometimes things are happening too fast to have to arm a track make sure the track has a recordable clip and then trigger record to the clip before you can even play the first note. Having a blank clip already selected with the mouse for instance and then click enable listening device I can continue on with other external instruments and the moment i use my midi controller to play it will record a loop or whatnot.
