Question, I'm not too sure how all the MIDI stuff works
but basically I have a M-Audio Oxygen 8
and i want to use the knobs for the loop effect
basically, the dail goes from 0 - 127
and I want 0 to be no loop,
and 1 to be loop once
2 loop twice... etc
So far i've been able to make the knob loop X number of times, but It seems to be an ON or OFF no matter what number you put the dial to.
Any ideas, tips, or comments?

also, whats the formula for making to midi actions go with one midi button press Example I wanna do a loop plus an increase in pitch, so
I know loop is "loop X" (X= number of loops)
I know loop is "loop X" (X= number of loops)

hey bro, the only time you need to worry about 0 - 127 is when creating a definition file, but the only time you need to worry about a definition file is when you need to make leds or an lcd display work with information coming from vdj.
It isnt really advisable to make 0% in a knob "no loop" because you cant play it, because when engaging the loop at the small lengths, the loop will repeat and throw out the timing of the tracks, your better off dedicating a button to loop in and loop out, that way you have much better control, and you can get really glitchy when playing with the knob.
anyway the tools you need to control different things at different parts of a knob are
param_equal 0% ? action : param_smaller 25% ? action : param_smaller 50% ? action : param_smaller 75% ? action : param_smaller 99% ? action : param_equal 100% ? action
you just need to add something where it says action, eg
param_equal 0% ? deck 1 loop_select 0.0625 : param_smaller 25% ? deck 1 loop_select 0.125 :
(0.0625 is 1/16th of a beat, 0.125 is 1/8 of a beat)
if you want more actions just change the amount of divisions of the knob, but note that your better off sticking with imperial values with 7 bit knobs, metric values don't always work.
you should register your pro serial that way you can download tex_zk's plugins loop roll and granularl they are amazing for messing with loops!

good luck bro, I left gaps for you to fill as your better of learning for yourself then you can create whatever you like
