Drill the correct-sized holes for the arcade switches, inset them, plug them to the i-pac, and run the USB cable to your PC (IDK if the i-pac will work with a mac or not), assign the keys, and you're good to go. Go to a cigar store and you can grab some for free.
If you have the drill bit, a cigar box will work.

And a browser plugin to get the loop feature and keyboard control of the loop.ġ)You can mimic this with a USB keyboard encoder that allows you to customize buttons with software (i-pac is about $39), some arcade style buttons, and a box to put them in. But that's easy (see below).Īll the device is is a box with some footswitches and a keyboard encoder and a USB cable. Everything EXCEPT the looper functionality. Go to youtube and on a video page hit the question mark, and you'll see a list of youtube keyboard short cuts for all the function of this box and more. The first is less capable, and the 2nd is the most flexible. You can accomplish the same thing in a couple of different ways. Went to the site and saw the price: $150. I thought OK, I'd buy that at $75 or less to support the makers. I saw the Vidami UD Rep Pedal for looping YouTube videos, etc. Honestly, doesn't look like that device will currently do anything except connect to a computer (it's USB only, so most tablets and phones are out) that can support browser extensions (so even if your phone has USB, i doubt it supports browser extensions, iPhone's definitely don't, android's might, but I kinda doubt it), and even then it looks like it only works with youtube and vimeo videos currently anyways. However, the device wouldn't plug into the 3 and do anything if that's what you're asking. 5 speed when you step on the speed switch", then yeah, don't see why it wouldn't work. "Would it work with the III?" Sure, if "work with the III" is defined as: "your computer audio is already coming through the III, so the youtube video you're currently watching would playback at.

I mean, it's not an unclever idea, good on them for coming up with a product they can sell to people, but you could probably take an old computer keyboard, pull out all but 5 of the keys, get some sort of free software that lets you control macro actions with key presses, set the keyboard on the floor and step on the keys to achieve the same result 25x playback speed feature as it's "3 levels of speed" control. it's basically a USB input device with a few stomp switches that controls a Chrome or Safari extension that accesses basic youtube api features to set and in and out loop points (there are other extensions already that do this), and then makes use of youtube's. We’ll get all caught up with the tips on monday.Not sure what you're wishing for exactly here, but just looked up this "pedal", and well, I'm not even sure you can reasonably call it a pedal. The point is that you can make your controller do pretty much anything you want if you’re willing to get this sort of utility into the picture.Īlright folks! I gotta get off this internet connection. Now, this may seem like a lot of hoops to jump through to fold and unfold a group track, but that’s not really the point here. When a zero is sent, the keystrokes are almost the same, except the last one is minus (-). When a 127 is transmitted, all the keystrokes on the right will be sent to Live from top to bottom: 1 to select the track, Option+Up Arrow twice to make sure the title bar is highlighted, and + to unfold the track. The button will send a value of 127 on the first click, and 0 on the second (value). The setup above assumes that you have a button on your MIDI controller that transmits MIDI CC 11 (num) on channel 1 (chn).
Here’s a MidiStroke setup that will solve this problem nicely:
This is a utility that lets you send keystrokes from your MIDI controller. There are a number of ways to do this, but one particularly simple on is to use Charlie Robert’s excellent MidiStroke.

To solve this particular problem in a more elegant way, we need a way to send a series of keystrokes to Live in one step. Sometimes, the solution is no better than the problem – such as when you use the keyboard to fold and unfold tracks instead of using the mouse.
