Hello,

I have a simple question. Assume that I record a loop whose length is 4 seconds. Then I would like to double it so I would like to replace the existing loop by twice that loop.
I read about multiply function and "multiply_times" but I didn't managed to double my loop... What buttons should I press to double my loop ? (and then I think I will be able to create an Ableton Live MIDI clip to fire those buttons, to have a midi clip which automatically doubles my loop)

Thanks in advance for your help !

R.

The Multiply feature won't instantly double/triple/etc the length of a loop, since this is more of a real-time looper, you hit multiply and then have to let it continue in the "multiply" until it goes into the next loop iterations, and you finish the multiply when it is long enough for you. So if you were trying to automate it, it might be tricky since you have to involve waiting....
