In this case, we most likely have several tracks with the same input (for instance, a guitar or a
microphone).!
If we set the monitoring in Live to «#Auto#», the tracks need to be armed in order to
record. This can be achieved by holding pedal ③for more than 1s. This will arm the
track were the device is located. The LED ⑧will turn red, indicating that the current
track is armed.!
In case you want the tracks to be armed automatically each time you select a
device, you can check the «#Auto Arm#» button on the Max For Live device!
!
While this method works, this can sometimes cause clicks in the audio, depending
on how busy your live set is.!
Another method is to set the monitoring of all the tracks to «#In#». This way, you don’t
need to arm the tracks anymore as the audio goes through.!
One problem you will face though, is that you will hear your instrument or voice as
many times as you have tracks. !
This can be solved by checking the «#Auto Mute#» button. With this button switched
on, the audio will be muted before the Looper if the device is not currently selected.!
Finally, when the Auto Select button is activated, Live will automatically display the
currently selected device.!
This can be useful if you want to monitor on the computer what you are doing. !
Express yourself !
State Of The Loop features 2 stereo jack inputs to connect expression pedals (see the list of approved
models). If you click on the «#Pedals#» icon on the Max For Live device, it will unfold a panel that allows
you to map each pedal to the parameters in Live.!
Just click the «#Map#» button, then the parameter of your choice.!
The mappings are device-based. This means that you can control 2 different parameters on device 1 and
2, and so forth. This also means that you can control up to 198 parameters with only 2 pedals !!
When you switch from one device to the other, the position of the expression pedal will probably be
different. To avoid sudden jumps, the value of the pedal won’t be sent until they reach the actual value of
the parameter. When this happens, you will see the status LED ⑧blink shortly in green.!
III Scene mode!
State of The Loop can also be used to navigate through Scenes in Live, and show Names and Colors of
Scenes.!
