Is there a way to map the Pioneer CDJs loop buttons to use the jog wheel outer rim to change the loop length (start point and end point). Like how the CDJs work, like how Mixvibes Cross has done it?
Thanks for any info.

You could map a button to the following to toggle the jogwheel between adjusting loop in/out and normal jogwheel mode:
wheel_mode "loop_in,loop_out,jog"
wheel_mode "loop_in,loop_out,jog"

Would it be possible to do this then with the loop buttons?
keep the loop buttons for loop in / loop out but if a loop is active if I hold loop out down I could then use the Jog to change the length. Or would I need a different button just for this?
Thanks for the fast reply though

I'm not familiar with the Pioneer way (I'm a Denon guy) but you can map your loop-in/loop-out buttons as:
Loop in:
loop ? wheel_mode "loop_in,jog" +1 : loop_in
Loop out:
loop ? wheel_mode "loop_out,jog" +1 : loop_out
The above code supposes that you have a third button to exit the loop
Loop Exit / Reloop :
loop ? loop & wheel_mode "jog" : reloop
=======================================
If your device has only 2 buttons for the loop then you can use the following code:
Loop In:
loop ? wheel_mode "loop_in,jog" +1 : loop_in
Loop Out:
loop ? holding ? wheel_mode "loop_out,jog" +1 : loop & wheel_mode "jog" : loop_out
With this code the drawback is the increased latency on the exit of the loop. The loop will exit when you release the loop out button, not when you press it down since it will wait to see if you're holding it or not.
PS: When you engage wheel_mode "loop_in" or "loop-out" the entire platter (not just the outer rim) will control the loop entry/exit points.
PS2: You might want to map your buttons leds to blink when "loop_in" or "loop_out" modes are engaged:
LED Loop In:
wheel_mode "loop_in" ? blink : loop_in
LED Loop Out:
wheel_mode "loop_out" ? blink : loop_out
Loop in:
loop ? wheel_mode "loop_in,jog" +1 : loop_in
Loop out:
loop ? wheel_mode "loop_out,jog" +1 : loop_out

loop ? loop & wheel_mode "jog" : reloop

Thanks Phantom the first one is spot on, I will try it out after work and let you know.
