LooperDevice

Represents an instance of Live’s Looper audio effect. The LooperDevice class extends Device with the recording/overdub/playback transport state and loop length information unique to Looper.

LooperDevice

This class represents a Looper device. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

Properties

Inherited from LomObject

_live_ptr: int

canonical_parent: Track

Get the canonical parent of the Device. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

Inherited from Device

can_compare_ab: bool

Returns true if the Device has the capability to AB compare. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

can_have_chains: bool

Returns true if the device is a rack. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

can_have_drum_pads: bool

Returns true if the device is a drum rack. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

class_display_name: str

Return const access to the name of the device’s class name as displayed in Live’s browser and device chain ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

class_name: str

Return const access to the name of the device’s class. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

type: DeviceType

Return the type of the device. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

view: View

Representing the view aspects of a device. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

is_active: bool

Return const access to whether this device is active. This will be false bothwhen the device is off and when it’s inside a rack device which is off. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

is_using_compare_preset_b: bool

Returns whether the Device has loaded the preset in compare slot B. Only relevant if can_compare_ab, otherwise errors. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

latency_in_ms: float

Returns the latency of the device in ms. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

latency_in_samples: int

Returns the latency of the device in samples. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

loop_length: float

The length of Looper’s buffer. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

name: str

Return access to the name of the device. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

overdub_after_record: bool

If true, Looper will switch to overdub after recording, when recording a fixed number of bars. Otherwise, the switch will be to playback without overdubbing. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

parameters: ATimeableValueVector

Const access to the list of available automatable parameters for this device. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

record_length_index: int

Access to the Record Length chooser entry index. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

record_length_list: StringVector

Read-only access to the list of Record Length chooser entry strings. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

tempo: float

The tempo of Looper’s buffer. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

Methods

Inherited from Device

save_preset_to_compare_ab_slot()

Saves the current state of the device to the compare AB slot. Only relevant if can_compare_ab, otherwise throws. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

store_chosen_bank()

Parameters

• script_index: int
• bank_index: int

Set the selected bank in the device for persistency. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

clear()

Erase Looper’s recorded content. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

double_length()

Double the length of Looper’s buffer. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

double_speed()

Double the speed of Looper’s playback. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

export_to_clip_slot()

Parameters

• clip_slot: ClipSlot

Export Looper’s content to a Session Clip Slot. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

half_length()

Halve the length of Looper’s buffer. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

half_speed()

Halve the speed of Looper’s playback. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

overdub()

Play back while adding additional layers of incoming audio. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

play()

Play back without overdubbing. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

record()

Record incoming audio. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

stop()

Stop Looper’s playback. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

undo()

Erase everything that was recorded since the last time Overdub was enabled. Calling a second time will restore the material erased by the previous undooperation. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}
