With a practical, versatile and innovative way of producing audiovisual content with generative art. It looks like this hardware looper also uses a max patch, and it probably uses similar workarounds to keep the visual feedback synced up with looper, without being able to actually get that info directly from looper. T3X2R - Visuals Plugins for Ableton Live.
Then, I created a visual feedback patch that basically just follows the quantization of the set, and then restarts the looper when quantization changes, so as long as you’re using global quantization to make your loops, the visual feedback will be accurate. I was able to overcome these limitations for my live template by midi mapping all the looper controls to midi CC’s, and using a virtual midi device to do midi loopback from a max device back into ableton. Because Max/MSP is a programming language, you can do just about anything you want. Max/MSP is a visual programming language with libraries that focus on MIDI, DSP, and Video. So they cant do anything Ableton Live specific. You can’t see the actual point in the loop where you are, or even control most of the controls. This online course is an introduction to the world of live-video in the MAX environment. Live controls the plugins, but the plugins have no idea who is controlling them. I actually created my own looper controller patch with Max for Live and it looks like the only feedback you can really get is whether it’s stopped, playing, overdubbing or recording.
