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 ?

Check the content from this post onwards.

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 .

I just read the whole thread (it’s the fifth thread on SooperLooper alone, I have 10 tabs open yet to go

Let me see If i got this right…

It’s only possible to open one instance of SooperLooper
It’s possible to assign any remote Midi ctrl to any parameter of stable Oram,
and this include SooperLooper. The Pedal is just a Midi CC so even just a
switch button configured to work as a Midi CC could be assigned to anything.

There is no mouse right click menu or window to do that, but
you need to get the desired outcome (remote Midi CC assignment)
through the menu (I read one-foot-pedal was added in options)

PS: The guide says this about using the Mouse:

3.12.3 MIDI learn with a touchscreen or mouse

MIDI learn with a touchscreen or mouse is very similar, it is performed by:

1. touching/clicking then swiping right on a parameter to show the green “??”

2. touch the control on your midi device to send the MIDI CC

MIDI unlearn with a touchscreen is performed by:

1. touching/clicking then swiping left on a control

If I don’t have a usb-Midi CC, and only an i2c 20017 chip that should give 4 encs and 4 switches, I need to setup those separately in the webGUI first anyway…
otherwise the foot-pedal normally has a jack input… but outside the Audio input,
is there a secret GPIO that can set up to accept an external Foot-pedal trigger/gate
in the standard jack configuration???

I’ll keep reading, there’s a lot to go through here…
