  This is useful for me. Thank you for the device.

  Hi,
  Can you please explain how this thing works?

  Hey sounmagician
  How to Use:
  Just put the device in the effects chain: It will control the last looper in the effects chain (if you put several). The principle is to map the device button with an external controller. The controller will only be active if the track is armed or selected. It's less good than mapping the "pedal" button of the looper but it allows you to have a single controller for different loopers which is not possible by mapping the "pedal" button (unless you want all the loopers to do exactly the same actions at the same time)
  The only goal is to control several loopers on several tracks with the same controller and to be able to choose which looper will be assigned to each signal from the controller (a switch pedal in my case).

  So with this device, before "Looper" audio effect, you can switch between multiple audio channels each with a unique instance of "Looper" and use the same midi controller / foot switch mapping across all the different channels? Just arm the track the want to control via midi foot switch and place this device before the Looper? Do I have that right?

  Yes, that's it. You can select when the device is active and controls the looper that follows it: always, only when the track is armed or only when the track is selected. This setting is independent for each device and you can of course arm or select several tracks at the same time.

  Thanks for making this.
  I'm looking for a device that does the same thing - allow me to use the same midi foot pedal on different track only when they are record enabled.
  I've tried using this in live 12 and it doesn't seem to work - do you know if it's compatible with live 12.3.2?
  It only allows me to midi map to the overdub control or the "circle" control which seems to somewhat randomly cycle between states.
  Also it looks like you can only midi map the individual control (i.e record, overdub) and not to the pedal control - is that right?
  Thanks again for your support.

  Hi bendudding.
  There was a minor issue when loading the looper after the device on line 12, which I quickly fixed tonight (V2.1 is available to download – I will review the device again when I have more time to correct a few more details).
  The only button that should be mapped is the round button at the top left of my device. The idea was to simulate the "magic" button of the looper, which cannot be controlled by automations or Max, preventing you from using the looper as you wish ( and as I wanted to do )
  If you have a MIDI pedalboard with several switches, it is possible to set something up by individually mapping the looper's buttons (rec, overdub, play, stop) from a Max Device that only activates when you arm the track, but it takes time to map.
