Ableton Live multi-track looper

Notes

Have started updating the saxophone looper program to work with launchpad and a keyboard.

Ideally the keyboard would record MIDI so that you could use it for any kind of built in instrument. With this first pass I’ve set it up to record audio – so at any time you can either play the keys, or play into the mic.

Also have thrown in some new drum kits.

Have kept footpedal assignments the same for now, just so I can go back to the original setups without reprogramming.

It looks like the cue output was originally assigned to 3/4 so we could route the drums out separately. Need to work on making this happen.

Todo:

  • route drums to 3/4
  • setup launchpad
  • setup effects processing (to use with launchpad)
