Re: [sooperlooper-users] multiple instances of SL in Live: problems with volume levels

[midifriedchicken@comcast.net]

Thats what I was asking about yesterday. It seems the way SL is setup, we're really quite limited as to how it runs in Live. I tried last night to set it up so an identical midi note command would arm a track and select a loop, but I couldn't get it to work. This got me wondering just how it is that with the literally thousands of plug ins available today, nobody has created a cross-platform, native looper with all the bells and whistles that works the way we need it to. I know Mobius is supposed to be that, but of course it only runs on windows. SL sorta works, but it doesn't work as a plug in should.

I need to open a looper plugin on 1 track and 1 track only, and have all the functionality of an EDP. It could even look like an EDP, maybe with a few GUI graphics ala SL.

I would pay good money for this, and judging by the sheer amount of people looping today, it would most likely make a profit.

Its just weird that with any looper, hardware or software, there are limitations and shortcomings. Yet with preamps, filters and synths, or even more esoteric devices, they seem to figure everything out.
