hey, thanks for downloading this device. i don't have plans to make video at the moment, basically you can check the video from chase bliss:

it's basically the same thing on how things work. i use that gen-loss plugin as a reference/template.
i never tried with expression pedal when build this device, because i thought all the midi parameter has everything covered (you can do all the expression stuff with midi automation). so yeah, sorry i can't really tell what's going on there..
all chase bliss pedal have only midi input (no output), so it's a one way communication.
when 'listen tempo' is on, from my understanding, it can listen
from both tap or ableton live's tempo.
the midi channel is depend on what channel you set on your pedal. by default chase bliss shipped their pedal default on midi channel 2, you can change your midi channel later on, make sure you're on the right midi channel.
what i normally do,
in ableton - preferences, in the midi section, make sure in the midi output section, your soundcard (or whatever midi interface you use), have all three item checked (track, sync, remote).
then, add a midi track, add the plugin to that track, set the midi out channel to 2 (if you never change the midi channel), set the midi out device to whatever device/soundcard you're using. then you're good to go.
you can use this same midi track to use synth mode, make sure set the midi input & channel to to your midi controller.

thanks for downloading and using the m4l device.
i actually was thinking the same thing, coming from other daw (cubase) i really miss those floating window plugins.
i've been looking into it, and i think i found a way to make it float, will try to implement it on the next version update.
can't promise the timeline, since this is actually my side-personal project, and i'm still in the middle of a big project.
will send a notification thru gumroad once i did the update.
hmm about patch saving onto your mac i'm not sure how to do it, need to dig more info on that..
right now you can save patch using the standard procedure of chase bliss pedal, using the program change. i put the load/save button on the far right of the device.
i did look at pedal zombie web-based editor, it's really cool.
the randomization feature is actually similar like the one on the gen-loss m4l too.
i decided not to put that feature, because you can do it easily on ableton live using macro control. and also midi parameter in mood mk2 is already a lot, and i don't want to make the device too 'crowded'.
cheers
