Hi, this summer I bought a Saffire Pro 24 firewire interface and an fcb1010 for use with Sooperlooper and Ardour. I did not get to practice as much as I had hoped, but I really enjoyed using SL. It's a great rock solid piece of software!

But I still have not settled on MIDI bindings for my fcb. It's really easy to use If I just layer on top of one groove, but this gets really repetitive after a while.
Can someone please share their setup, my goal is to change theme in a song with as few button presses as possible.

jesse: will SL development continue? And would a donation help speeding things up? Features like clear session and stop_or_trigger: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1112#p1880 are most welcome.

Working with something like an FCB (has 10 buttons anyway. Midi Buddy it's called)

Four buttons set up so that when you press them they trigger if not currently engaged, record if not engaged and haven't been recorded, overdub if currently engaged. Other buttons = Record, Undo, Trigger, pause current loop and Midi Start, Midi Stop

Had to hack up a Mididings scripts to do this and it's still a bit buggy... Start, Stop cause problems, but I think that this is a bug in Sooperlooper when controlled via Midiclock. Would be amazing if sooperlooper did more of this out of the box. The software is great overall, but has a ton of potential still. Could easily beat any hardware looper out there with some small improvements and fixes. Tried to do some of this myself, but I don't have the patience to work with something this complicated or edit someone elses code :-)
