Topic: How much each loop values represent In Inches?

How much each loop values represent In Inches from 1/4 Beat----> thru 32 Beat?

The short cut examples only gives 3 examples: If param is absolute, it will activate/deactivate a loop on this number of beat (use "50" for half beat, "25" for quarter and "125" for eighth).

I need to map one button on the player to move thru the different loop cycle by those increments!

Also, Is there a way to mark the IN loop from one of my Hot starts without actually playing the song from that point?

Inches are a length of measurement and really have nothing to do with loop size.

You can use a relative value - for example +1, whiich will increase loop size. Say you use this shortcut and have a loop of 1 beat, pressing it will increase the loop to 2 beats, then 4, then 8 and so on. Another shortcut can do -1, as it will continue to increase in size rather than cycle. If you are creating a C++ plugin you can obviously control this.

You could use a macro shortcut that jumps to the cue point [goto_cue x] and sets a loop [loop x or loop_in] but doesn't actually start playing.

Thank you for your input. I wish that I knew how to create a plugIn using C+++.


I will use your input to create my XML mapper!
