    Ill rephrase that.

    when using traktor you have the loop option of setting the length to 1/32, 1/16, 1/4, 1/2, 1, etc. Is there a way I can click the loop length on traktor so it will work when i use the loop function on the VCI? Hope thats better.

    An easy way to set any custom loop length from the VCI-100 is to program buttons to set a loop in and out point, for the focused deck. If you don't know what this means, the manual is a good place to start. I like this method, because it frees you up to loop whatever tiny bit, long bit, fits the moment. Two buttons for all loops. Hell, it can be done on one button with a modifier!

    Basicly you need map the one button to do these things:

    First press:
    1st mapping: Set Loop in (while modifier x value is y)
    2nd mapping: Set modifier x value to z

    Second press of the same button:
    1st mapping: Set Loop out (while modifier x value is z)
    2nd mapping: Set modifier x value to y

    Now the button does two things depending of the one modifier value. I didn't check anything from tpro for that explanation so it's just the principle how it should work. If the mapping can't be done in tpro, NI really has a lot of work ahead. But I trust Zac Kyoti when he says the modifiers are capable of this.

    Sorry to dig this one back up but i am confused and don't understand why this can't be done.

    If you were pressing a loop selection button on the screen with a mouse it would activate the loop length that is highlighted. So why is it different when you do it on your controller. ie ... you use loop lengthen / shorten to highlight the required loop length then use the loop on off button, but this makes it jump to 4 beat loop?

    Hope this makes sense.

    If you are using Ean's tsi, the reason is that there are commands attached to the loop on/off buttons that reset the loop length to 4 bars. If you want to change this, you can do it, but remember if you do that, each new loop you set will be the last length you selected. If you want to set a custom length each time, use the loop in/out method.
