Easy Automation Loops

Description

The feature Live should have always had. A simple tool that works.

I will upload a more advanced version soon, but this simple little thing has been needed for far too long, and has no bells or whistles to distract you from its simple, useful function: record loops of automation data. Use it in your patches if you like.

Instructions:

-Map the plugin to the desired control

-Type in the number of bars for how long you want the loop to be

-Select "OVR" if you want to continuously overwrite your loop until you press stop, or unselect it to take a single pass at recording the loop

-Press play on the transport

-When you're ready to record, hit "ARM"... and turn the "Use This" knob (or your midi control knob assigned to that parameter) in order to do your thing.

-If OVR is selected, press ARM again to stop recording. If OVR is off, this happens automatically.

And thats it! Now that automation will play in a loop as the track plays, always syncing with the transport.

Thanks! If you find any glitches PLEASE mention them in the comments section. I DO NOT want this to cause problems for people.
