Diagram of Looper’s Multi-Purpose Transport Button Behavior
Looper’s Multi-Purpose Transport Button is optimized for use with a MIDI footswitch. To assign a
footswitch, enter MIDI Map Mode (page 482), click the button and then press your attached
footswitch. Then exit MIDI Map Mode.
The Tempo Control chooser affects how Looper determines the tempo of recorded material:
•None: Looper’s internal tempo is independent of Live’s global tempo.
