Nice update. The only thing I am sorely missing is the synchronization of the record button. I would like to synchronize everything I record with the project grid
@@peterbarkmusic it's very strange, it starts recording to the buffer already during the arm (by "arm" I mean when the play and record buttons are activated, but also the pause button, this is how arm works on a real portastudio, I would like to have the buffer start recording when play is activated in a live session). it's a great device for asynchronous loops, but it doesn't work for me at all, when I try to record something using the classic layering method track by track, it's always feels and acts totally unintuitive, maybe it's just not my thing.
@@checktheneck apologies for the slow reply, I've been looking into this over the last few days. kind of a funny story.. I've thought that the record function worked the way I've been explaining it, but after closer inspection I found that you're right. it is recording even when the 4trak isn't playing. we ended up adding a sync button to record as well now, so the device will only record when playback is active. the updated download link should be going out within the next couple of days!
Hi Peter, love the product for some reason the top drop down for each track on mine has black font letters on gray background - which is nearly impossible to read without actually selecting drop down. But here in your video the font color for letters is white. Running on MacOS Ventura. Same on both my laptop and desktop. I have a screen shot to share but don't know where to send it. Anyway to make it easier to read. Thanks!
Hi Peter. Tape noise not making any sound. Level is at 100% and global effects 100% wet. There are 5 wav. samples visible in drop-down menu. Nothing. Any ideas? Thank you
Sounds like the device is having trouble finding the folder, which could be due to how you installed. I'd recommend adding the device folder to your Places, and loading from there. If that doesn't work reach out to me via email, and we can figure it out.
Sounds like you might be loading the device incorrectly. Make sure you've dragged it into your browser, and are loading from there. As for the start and stop time, you need to make sure that LINK is enabled if you want the transport to sync to Ableton's playback.
thanks for the update! having separate outputs is huge!
I “liked” this video even before watching it! I love how this is so inspirational….best $20 I spent in last 5 years.
amazing, thank you so much!
I am liking this even though I'll never use a Max4Live device! Tape loops are so yummy.

If you enable Link on the play button recording will be synced to playback. The buffers only record when playback is active.
@@peterbarkmusic Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but 4trak recording is enabled while the session is paused. Even though I turned on Link
@@checktheneck The record buffers are only armed when not playing, they won't be recording.

really nice! are the controls midi mappable?
Yes, almost all of them.
@@peterbarkmusic amazing

It probably has something to do with the Ableton theme you’re using. If you use one of the dark ones it should solve the problem.
@@peterbarkmusic Thanks that worked.
One question before I purchase, do I need Live Suite or does it work ok with Live Standard + Max for Live? Cheers
I'm pretty sure it should be fine with Live Standard. Do you use any other M4L device? If you do, then this will definitely work.

relaly wish it saved the .wavs in the machine. exporting is a great step though!
hi peter😅 tape start time stop time and noise not working
