Loop length set (modifier question - I think)

[JSM]

I THINK I GOT IT! Epiphany strikes and all cares of sensitivity go out the window.

Check out the video to see if that's what you want. Please note: I've made it VERY easy to change the rate (sensitivity) at which the filter and loop size is altered. (notes will be in the comment section of the final mapping.

exactly ! can't wait to see how you set the modifiers

thanks

Cool, now as I was swapping it from an X1 mapping to general MIDI, I noticed the sensitivity changed drastically, so that's something you'll have to tweak down yourself, but i've made it very simple to find exactly where in the comments section.

Re-mapping to your controller:
Anything that's currently mapped to CC016, is the Rotary component of the encoder, and CC018 is the button. If you want to have focused controls (one for A, one for B, etc.) You'll need to essentially duplicate all the commands, change the Focus to the desired deck, and use modifiers 3&4 (same values) so that engaging a loop on Deck B doesn't mess with the modifier states for Deck A. If you need any help, just let me know.

yo dB, dope man.

any chance you post up the x1 mapping you were working on earlier as well?

Here ya go!
Same things apply for making changes to add another deck and changing sensitivity.

iv been wanting to do this for a long time, thankyou dj db for taking time to figure this out. unfortunately i do not have a spare knob, has anyone tried to do this with a fader? i figure you can have it act as a button as well to activate the loop immediately when you move it up

[JSM]

got it working, but i'll need to adjust the filter.

to create the reverse on the same tsi ? just a matter of adding the inc. loop or do i also need to decrease the modifiers ?

i'm going to have a deeper look at the mapping before asking anymore (probably dumb) questions.

I'll look into it.

You mean you want to go higher than 2 beats? I set it up so the knob actually acted as a button for the loop size. As the modifier changed, the loop size would follow on the next click. So you would need to add some more headroom on the modifier, then another command for loop size.

So first thing's first, you need to allow the modifier to go past 5. There's a command "Modifier #1" set to Dec when M1=6. Bump that up to M1=7 to use 4 beats. Any higher than that will need to get a little fancier with modifiers. As for the loop size, Add a command "Loop Size" for the rotary component. When M1=6, it acts as a button setting the value direct-4.

Hope that answers the question you were going for.

hey fella, no you misunderstood me, but no matter what you've done so far has allowed me to continue on my own mapping idea ... I couldn't figure out how to limit loop length or make it sensitive enough to control .

NO you have it programmed the way I said, but as I was using it, I though that I or maybe others would like to like to reverse the effect back into the song ...

e.g. at the moment it's set to stop at .16 with full filter, then off

i though it maybe useful to be able to return to 2 beats (or 4) and filter back to zero, then off.


as it is it's exactly as I needed, and with a fair bit of tweaking on the sensitivity or Filter and Loop .. i have it almost as smooth as doing it manually with two rotaries ..

So excellent work and great service.

When I complete the mapping for the DX2 effects unit, I be crediting you

back to mapping ...(and a fair bit of playing)

Well spinning back clockwise should take the filter back out at the same rate, and open the loop back up. Is that what you're saying?

And thanks for the credit.
