If you have lots of pedals, assign one to each function. The play/overdub/record is controlled via individual buttons, or a single footswitch, which alternates between play/overdub, with a double press triggering stop.

Since Ableton won’t accept PC (program change) messages, loopback devices such as Loopmidi or Midi-Ox allows you to control the looper using a standard midi PC pedal. Midi control requires a programmable foot-pedal such as the FCB1010, where I use the two pedals to control speed and feedback. If you record a new loop while play is running, it will pitch-shift your input to fit the length, so unexpected results take place, however, further as you add further loops, you will naturally play them to it the initial playback and overdubs are no longer pitch-shifted. If the loop is running, it will have a BPM. Like any looper, you need to work with it to discover the idiosyncrasies, but like all loopers, it allows (and requires) you to develop your own voice or style. You can run as many loopers as you like, (depending on your CPU power) and can have them on separate tracks, or on one track inside an effects rack. It can also mute the input so the channel only plays back the loop, not the input signal. You can quantise the loop to the current BPM, or have it set the tempo depending on your signal. Record / playback / clear / undo / pitch shift up to 3 octaves above & below, in semi-tone intervals / reverse / double length / halve length The “looper” device is basic by EDP standards, but still very functional.

It’s not cheap, but it’s often bundled free with hardware and there is a Lite version with a limited number of tracks. It is also the host which is most often used to host other livelooping plugins. Live was made for creative DJ’s first, but since version 8 has a built in livelooping tool.
