instead of starting on cc 64 I started mapping from cc65 so I could use my piano sustain pedal to trigger loops and use the dpad to select the loops.
x doubles, a halves the length.
the middle guide (logitech) button dumps the loops to the timeline (add to project)
L button kills all the loops
Originally I did it with this 2$ ali express gamepad, later I wanted to get it working with this logitech ps1 style controller that has more buttons (more possibilities).

I want to fix this so each direction sends on its own cc as momentary but this is fine for now
