KB Devices has launched a new Kickstarter project to fund production of the State Of The Loop, their dedicated foot pedal MIDI controller for looping with Ableton Live.

The pedal was created by French engineer and musician Pierre-Antoine Grison, aka Krazy Baldhead. He debuted it at Ableton Loop 2018, held Nov 9-11 in LA. In a recent interview about the project, Grison said his pedal controller is ‘like a hands-free Push’.

This is the second Kickstarter for the project. The first project reached about 75% of the original goal, so Grison launched a second Kickstarter with a slightly higher unit price, but a lower target. Features:

• Display and control the state of Live’s Looper
• Unlimited number of loopers !
• 2 Expression Pedal inputs with “dynamic mapping”
• Scenes Mode to launch Scenes and display their color and name
• Sturdy metal case
• USB or MIDI connection for longer distances (up to 15m/50ft)
• USB powered
• Light on the CPU
• Easy configuration

Pricing and Availability

State Of The Loop is available to project backers starting at 280 Euro.
