Pre load loops from start + save pre select loops in settings

Hi Daniel,
I will make a post for each question.
Here is the answer for the question 1.

1. How can I pre load a specific loop when opening a project?

You first need to make a macro containing this kind of script :

// Macro begin
LoadLoop 20160407-Yeah-backwards A True
Mute
Mute
LoadLoop TacTac B true
LoadLoop Chorus C true
// Macro end

Load your macro in a slot and check “A.S.*” this means “Auto start”.
So, when you open your project, the macro is automatically started and your loops are loaded in Logelloop.

I hope this explanation is clear enough.
You’ll probably need to read the “Macros” chapter in the User Manual to know how to make a macro and to put it in a macro slot.

Happy looping! -)

Hi Daniel,

3. Is there a way of choosing loop from drop down menu in Saved Loops or File Player by MIDI controller? I didn’t see it in midi settings.

1 – Make a macro to load the saved loops and/or audio file in the File Player. Below is an example :

//Macro begin
//Load a preset
PresetRecall “File Player loaded” WaitUntilLoaded

//tell the File Player insert to load an audio file
InsertSendMessage trk10 1 LoadFile “TacTac-1.aiff”
//Launch the File Player
InsertSendMessage trk10 1 Play

//Wait the user relaunch this macro to load another audio file and play it
WaitUserAction

//tell the File Player insert to load an audio file
InsertSendMessage trk10 1 LoadFile “Chorus-1.aiff”
//Launch the File Player
InsertSendMessage trk10 1 Play

//Wait the user relaunch this macro to load a loop in A
WaitUserAction

//Load a loop in A and play
LoadLoop 20160407-Yeah-backwards A

//Wait the user relaunch this macro to Mute the current loop
WaitUserAction

//Mute immediately the current loop
Mute
Mute

//Wait the user relaunch this macro to Erase the current loop
WaitUserAction

//Erase the current loop
EraseLoop A

//Macro end

2 – Load this macro in a slot. Let’s say in the Slot 5

3 – Go in the Midi/Commands/Macros panel in the project settings

4 – Activate midi commands

5 – Connect a midi note to the macro slot 5.

6 – save and close your preference panel.

7 – you can play your new macro with your MIDI keyboard/footboard

If needed, I can send you a project containing the example of your first and third questions.
