how do i map a knob or button to increase/decrease the timing of a loop?

eg, instead of having the normal 1/2/4/8/16/32 loop, i would like to be able to go in the opposite direction -1/-2/-4/-8.etc

Do you mean 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 etc ????
 
sorry, yes that's what i meant.

currently i can only loop from 1-32, but i want to be able to really grind into the loop and make it as mashed up as i can
 
there are several ways to do this..

You may assign several buttons as
loop 0.5 for 1/2 beat loop
loop 0.25 for 1/4 beat loop
loop 0.125 for 1/8 beat loop
etc

You may also assign
loop_half
or loop 50%
to divide the size of the loop to half.

If you use the Default Skin you will find loop_half as the left arrow button next to loop 1
 
muchos gracias djdad

apart from assigning several buttons, could i also assign a knob to do this?
 
Ok how do you do this with a knob?? And I don't mean go from 2,4,8 etc etc. I want it to act like the loop length on the skin where rotating the knob acts more like its rolling through the wave form (hope that makes sense). It makes these marks "<>" when turning the on screen knob. And I'd use an endless encoder.

Not trying to hijack the thread

thats kinda what i'm looking for beatbreaker....where rotating the knob would roll through the loop from say +32 - 1/32
 
Well I guess it would be more of a loop adjust. I have some drum loops that I have to adjust cause when I set them, for example, 8 it's just alittle to short so I have to turn that knob on the skin to get it just right. I would like to be able to do this with an Endless Encoder knob.

Any ideas or suggestions would be great

I'm not at home so I can test to be sure, but this might work:

param_greater 50% ? deck default loop_half : deck default loop_double
 
I'm gonna start my own thread
 
param_greater 50% ? deck default loop_half : deck default loop_double

...that is what i'm looking for, but how do i make it even shorter?
 
This is what I'm talkin about TacoDJ,

I believe that's called shifting the loop. But I'm not quite sure of how to do the loop shift. Am I wrong on the term?

No loop shift moves the loop either left or right. Like if you have a 4 beat loop set it'll move it to the left or right but itll still be a 4 beat loop. Where as that makes the loop longer or shorter depending on what you want.

Hope that makes sense

beatbreaker...mate, if i knew how that was done i'd tell ya....aint got a clue lol!!
 
I think I figured it out but no one will answer my other thread, they just leave these half ass answers, lol! I think what I'm trying to do will only work on some encoders like jog wheels.
