Re: Echoloop VST MIDI controller
Phil,
I wish I could help you.
I've been using EchoLoop for over a year now and am perfectly comfortable
controlling every aspect of it via MIDI.
But I don't use Abelton Live, so that kinda takes me out of the picture.
I just use MaxMSP - which is extremely flexible is setting up ways to
control things.
I hope someone pipes up soon to help you.
Be patient,
Ted
