I'm in a live band with karaoke tracks. We would like to use VirtualDJ to play and display the lyrics of the tracks. I successfully mapped one of the footswitches of line 6 POD HD500x guitar rig to automix_next to go to the next song. We would also like to use loops but trying to map a midi footswitch to loop_in Loop_out is not working? I'm using the latest VDJ8

What have you tried?

I bought a UM_ONE midi interface from roland used the autolearnkey and mapped loop_in and loop_out actions to a footswitch but the knop IN or OUT are not triggered in virtualdj

I guess you are using the simple midi wrapper.
In that case you can try
"down ? loop_in : loop_out"
This will work on a simple midi message. Pressing the footswitch down will set the loop_in point, releasing the footswitch will set the loop_out point. However you won't be able to deactivate the loop with the same message.
An alternative would be to use:
"loop_button"
With this command, first press will set the loop_in, second press will set the loop_out, and third press will cancel the loop

"loop_button" nice, that's a new one for me.

Problem solved : I could assign a Note On message to the footswitch sending a note like A#. In custum mapping it appears a 0-BUTTON107. Mapping it to loop_in Loop_out works. Thanks
