    Although I have tried many, many times, I have not been able to make the CV Tools Instrument preset work. However, the CV Instrument with no presets works just fine with this setup. Does anyone else have this problem? Also, is there a reason why the gate and pitch were switched around in this demo?

    This approach will only work with Ableton Standard or Suite as Lite doesn't have Loopers and Intro is limited to just 2 send and return tracks rather than the 3 suggested here. But with Intro I can have a looper on each of 3 audio tracks which I can trigger with an inexpensive (approx AUD$30) usb 3 pedal footswitch. A bit like the 3 track Boss RC-300 but with just the one footswitch per track working like the single footswitch Boss units. Perfect for playing around with looping at home on a budget.

This will temporarily render the track as audio and free up its processing power. You can always unfreeze it later if you need to make changes.
