VIDEO - Control MSuperLooper with a midi controller

[Chandlerhimself]

Here is another video on MSL and this time I'll quickly go through how you can hook up your midi controller to MSL. At first it might seems hard, but it really isn't and once you do it you can just save it, so things are as simple and 2 clicks the next time. If you don't want to hear me messing around with ambient style guitar loops with it you can stop the video after 6:15. Anyway, I hope this helps.

just a clarification: it's not possible to make truly freeform multiple loops of completely independent lengths? even with "All Loops The Same Length" unchecked? they have to be multiples of the first loop? thanks. and thanks for this and all your other tutorials, they are very helpful.

As far as I know yes. Perhaps if you request a freeform mode Vojtech will add it. Anyway thanks for the kind words and support.

The nice thing about it being a plugin is that you could use multiple instances as a way to have completely independent loops.

Whats mark end for?
I'm really curious about overdub, how does it work in it.
Would like to know if this scenario is possible with MSuperLooper:
Start record at any time while loop is playing not just record from beginning (like in the middle of the loop), then continue to record after loop goes back to beginning for another cycle (without user intervention)? Some call it immediate overdub. Thats the method I used before for ambient/drones type of things.
If you could do video demonstration of that it would be awesome.

And no need to go into further loops tweaking with modular effects which most of us probably wont have. I think most users are curious about basic things you could do with it, at least I am.
Thanks for the previous videos. Noticed on couple of places that you pressed "undo" but didn't see any change that it made and you didn't say anything about what/why you are doing that for. Maybe because recording doesn't end with loop but continues to record in another loop cycle (overdub) until user stops record?
Is there "redo"?

Remembered one more thing Im curious about. Exporting wavs. Does it exports raw or processed files,like does it process crosfade and modular effects used? If loop was overdubbed does it only export last or all layers that led to it?

Mark end is for when you record without sync enabled. Of course you can stop the recording, but if you want immediately overdub you can use that. The scenario you talk about is also possible. I believe there is an option called immediate overdub that will allow you to record in the middle of a loop and it will continue to record after looping. I'll try to do more ambient stuff in the future.

I thought I explained undo, but if I didn't I'll try to explain it here. You you overdub something and then want to erase it use undo. If you clear the track everything will be lost, but by clicking undo you will just erase the current overdub. I often used it because once the loop is over I take me hand off the guitar and the strings are ringing or some noise happened. Using Undo will erase that overdub with the noise, but keep the previous overdub with my playing. Its also useful if you flub and overdub. Just hit undo and try again when the loop comes back around. I hope that helps

Can you use a midi controller for Super looper in Garageband?
I think it is not possible to direct the midi output to the audio plugin.
Could you confirm it, please?
Thank you.

Thanks. Your explanation helps for the undo part. Not sure if I understood quoted above, cant wait for the video demonstration, things should be clearer then, I hope.
That method I was talking about might sound weird but works 100% for no abrupt cuts in loop points, good for ambient. Its also less stressful than normal looping
