I'm looking for a way to check any current loop or loop roll.
In particular I want to know the length of the current loop or loop roll as well as whether they are active or not.
So far I can get all I need for loops with
which will give me 0 if the current loop is inactive and >0 if active.
I can also check the loop beat length with
As an aside I also tried
which gave me 1,2,4 for 1,2,4 beat length loops respectively when active and 0 when inactive but for <1 beat loops it did not work.
I got 1 for 1/2 beat loop when active and 0 when inactive but for <1/2 beat loops I got 0 for either active or inactive.
I'm not sure if that is just a bug with get_active_loop or whether it's doing the correct thing and I have misunderstood its purpose.
The main issue I'm having is getting loop roll info.
I can check for active loop roll with
this produces 1 when active and 0 when inactive.
I haven't been able to check the current active loop roll length.
I've tried
but this doesn't produce anything.
Does anyone know if it's possible to get the beat length of the current active loop roll for a deck?
Thanks,
Ash

I can check for active loop roll with

this produces 1 when active and 0 when inactive.
I haven't been able to check the current active loop roll length.

1) For loops you can just query the deck:
It will return true/false
2) For rolls you need to query all possible values:
Now, you can combine all these to a single query:
This query will turn true (on) if a loop or loop roll is active, false (off) otherwise
deck 1 loop ?
It will return true/false
2) For rolls you need to query all possible values:
deck 1 loop_roll 0.0125 ? on : deck 1 loop_roll 0.025 ? on : deck 1 loop_roll 0.5 ? on : deck 1 loop_roll 0.75 ? on : deck 1 loop_roll 1 ? on : deck 1 loop_roll 2 ? on : deck 1 loop_roll 4 ? on : off
Now, you can combine all these to a single query:
deck 1 loop ? on : deck 1 loop_roll 0.0125 ? on : deck 1 loop_roll 0.025 ? on : deck 1 loop_roll 0.5 ? on : deck 1 loop_roll 0.75 ? on : deck 1 loop_roll 1 ? on : deck 1 loop_roll 2 ? on : deck 1 loop_roll 4 ? on : off
This query will turn true (on) if a loop or loop roll is active, false (off) otherwise

You could also query if the loop roll effect is active

Thanks very much.
I've got it working with:
and then querying the var for beat length of the roll:
It's a pity there doesn't appear to be a quicker way of querying the beat length of the roll - or maybe I just haven't found it yet.
Cheers.
I've got it working with:
"deck 1 loop_roll 0.03125 ? set '%deckRoll' 0.03125 : deck 1 loop_roll 0.0625 ? set '%deckRoll' 0.0625 : deck 1 loop_roll 0.125 ? set '%deckRoll' 0.125 : deck 1 loop_roll 0.25 ? set '%deckRoll' 0.25 : deck 1 loop_roll 0.5 ? set '%deckRoll' 0.5 : deck 1 loop_roll 0.75 ? set '%deckRoll' 0.75 : deck 1 loop_roll 1 ? set '%deckRoll' 1 : deck 1 loop_roll 2 ? set '%deckRoll' 2 : deck 1 loop_roll 4 ? set '%deckRoll' 4 : set '%deckRoll' 0"
and then querying the var for beat length of the roll:
deck 1 get_var %deckRoll
It's a pity there doesn't appear to be a quicker way of querying the beat length of the roll - or maybe I just haven't found it yet.
