I know I’ve seen it answered before - but buggered if I can find it here!!!
How do I HALF an active loop??? And how do I midi map it to a single button??? Can it be done without modifiers???
So - hit loop (set to Loop Size 8 bars), hit button x (Loop Size halved to 4 bars), hit button x (Loop Size halved to 2 bars), hit button x (Loop Size halved to 1 bar), etc, etc…
Also - I want the START position of the loop to change - NOT the end position…
You can easily do it with the end position moving using the Loop Size Selector.
If you want the start position to move to create a loop roll effect, you’re better off using the Slip Roll effect on your DJM or the Beatmasher in Traktor.
The Loop Size Selector will let you halve the loop on button press, but it will move the end position, not the start position.
If you want to create a loop roll buildup to a drop, you can use Roll or Beatmasher FX, or use standard loops along with a hotcue at the drop position, or even standard loops in Flux mode.
Edit: After trying out some mappings, you can halve the loops moving the start position. Map the “Deck Common: Move: Size Selector” and set it to Direct Mode, with the value as “Loop”.
Then map the same button to “Deck Common: Move: Move”, with it set to Button, and interaction mode “Dec”.
I managed to make your mapping from scratch just before you linked it; the only thing I wasn’t aware of beforehand was the Move size: Loop, which removes the need for complicated modifiers.
If you think of it in the Increase mode, it moves the marker by the same amount as the size of the loop. Decreasing it by half is the only thing that makes sense, and performs the opposite of the Increase function.
This way you halve the loop size by moving the end of the loop. You can do the same by moving the beginning (Mode : Loop In) forward (move : forward)[/quote]
Ok - that’s cool. But I’m talking about actual engaging loops in flux mode that you made a question for.
Map that set loop command in push encoder and you’re all set. If you still want to set certain size you can map loop size selector to the same push button
