    Default Loop IN and Loop OUT on one button

    How do I map one button on the MIDI controller to manually set a Loop IN and OUT point ?

    Thanks.

    you mean so it sets the in, then you press again to set the out?

    or setting a preset length?

    for the 2nd one, you map loop set + active, make it a button, direct and select the length from the drop down.

    for the 1st one i'd guess a mod. hit once to in, shift it to out? always used preset lengths so not played with in/out too much.

    I need the first one.
    Manual loop in and loop out points on the fly.
    Mod what?
    If I set a modifier to the button it doesn't do anything M1=0, M1=1 etc.

    ???

    mod should work

    map loop in m1=0
    learn button

    map loop out m1=1
    learn button

    i post that on the assumption you have created a shift button as mod 1.

    if not
    pick a button
    create a mod 1 in
    learn the button
    set it to hold
    set value in drop down to 1

    then when you hold it down m1=1 release m1=0, simples!

    "I got no extra buttons left !"
    lol

    I really have no extra buttons available for a SHIFT option.

    Just an idea I thought wasn't tooo crazy.

    I think that the Vestax SPIN controller has this function by default.

    Why do you realistically need to set a loop out point? A loop is bound to be either a 4/8/16, bars etc. I can't 100% understand why you'd manually want to set the out point?

    Why not just use the loop active on /off feature and have buttons to change the loop size, ideally on your VCI, or even you computer keyboard?

    works better definately

    my vci loop buttons set 16 beats, then the 3 buttons next to deck a pitch fader are 8/4/2 and the little black buttons next to them half/double the size.

    I've got mine setup on my steel like this:

    --- ---
    |__| |__| <-- These are buttons by the way :-D

    ---
    |__| for reference... a b and c left ro right

    A is loop- B is loop+ and C is in/active... I like it. and then since it's actually a group of 6 buttons, flip and invert that and i have loop controls for the deck below. AND THEN MIRROR FOR DECKS B AND D... damn my head's weird, that's why i love it though.

    On the spin, I'd do it with the two buttons and the shift. IN/OUT would become in/active for me and the auto button would by default be loop+, until you hold shift and it'd be loop- ... my two cents :-D

    Yeah this can be done - i've just tried it and it works

    But - you have a shift button on the SPIN - its below the load buttons so why not use that?
