Describe your issue here:

I am having some trouble with the loop button in canvas. When I activate the loop button on press everything works great. When I go to deactivate on press, nothing happens. How do I resolve this?

Please fill out these values to make it easier to troubleshoot:

  • OS and Version: Tahoe 26.2
  • Version of AbleSet: 3.0
  • Version of Ableton Live: 11.3.11

Hey @nate, welcome to the forum!

The built in Loop Toggle element that comes with Canvas should work for exactly this, so you shouldn’t need any custom logic.

A couple quick things to check in your Canvas element:

  1. OSC Command On Press
    Make sure it is set to:
/loop/toggle
  1. Visual state (Background Color with Dynamic enabled)
    A typical setup would be:
${osc("/setlist/loopEnabled") ? "blue-800" : "blue-950"}

If both of those look correct, please try updating to the latest build and see if the behavior persists.

Let me know if it still happens on that version.
I’m looking forward to your reply!

Yea I am using the builtin Loop Toggle element. But I think I may have figured out what isn’t working. It is more than just the looping button on the canvas. It is also not toggling my tracks that are labeled with the +Guide and +LoopGuide. Is there a setting I need to turn on in Ableset in order to get this working?

Hey @nate,

Just to be sure: are the flags written in uppercase in your track names?

AbleSet only recognizes them when they are written exactly as +GUIDE and +LOOPGUIDE.
This applies to all flags in AbleSet, by the way.

If they are written like +Guide or +LoopGuide, AbleSet won’t detect them.

Could you double check that and let me know if it starts working after that?

If they are already written in uppercase and the issue persists, we can take a closer look.

I’m looking forward to your reply!
