SooperLooper feet setup

selecting a loop or knowing what loop we are into

These are available on a control called, “selected loop”.

It may be possible to bind a physical MIDI controller to this control to allow selection of the loop. I think zynthian supports parameter feedback but am not sure how. If so, it may be possible to give a tally back to that hardware controller. Of course, we are getting into the realms of bespoke configuration - but that is what the MIDI learn feature is for.

There is also a control called “prev/next” that can be used to step through, selecting each track. And we have the (fairly new) “single pedal” parameter that allows driving SL with just one pedal.

I would prefer to see us get this right than for users to want to use another looper.

Wait… What is that ? A single CC that change 64 parameters On or Off ? Is there already a documentation about that ?

Bookmarked. Its a OnePedal Workflow.
What do you think ok my previous “guess” ? A single CC can make 128 OSC commands …
Oh gosh… This may be the solution to the 10 upper posts ! One only new parameter on the screen, 64 actions (with 64 On and 64 Off).
…
…
…
What do I have to learn to tweak the code ?

I don’t know what you are trying to do. If you want to set the full state of SooperLooper then save it as a preset or a ZS3.

An extra controller is added to page 6, “Global Loops” called, “single_pedal” which can be mapped (MIDI learn) to a MIDI CC that sends >63 when pressed and 0 when released (like a sustain pedal). The current functions are:

• Press to start recording
• Press to stop recording and start playing
• Press to start overdubbing
• Press to stop overdubbing and continue playing
• Double press to pause playback
• Press to restart playback from start
• Double press and hold (>1.5s) on second press to reset, clear recording and pause

These actions all happen on the currently selected loop / track. With a single loop like when intialised, it acts like a single pedal looper.

I have tried tis new setup and it FEEL GREAT to use ! It feel even more easy as with multiple buttons.
Now we “just” need to navigate form loop to loop and add the Undo/Redo functions.
I’ll get back after using it more longer .
