Topic: Trimming loop with VDJ?

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hi,

I'm new to the midi controller game and I just wanted to know if you can trim manual loops like you can with Itch (see video):

I can't seem to get that to work, when I press the out button as instructed for itch, I lose the loop... any suggestions?

If you upgrade to pro you could map the 'out' button to

loop ? wheel_mode 'loop_out' ? wheel_mode 'jog' : wheel_mode 'loop_out' : loop_out

then the led to

wheel_mode 'loop_out' ? blink 400ms : loop ? on : off
 
Thanks for helping out! only problem: that all looked like Chinese to me... no idea how to map. I will upgrade though, I think it's time.

Is there a tutorial video on how get the mapping done? Like I said, I'm a newbie to all this! lol! thanks!
 
 
k, I'm going to upgrade when I get home from work today, but I'm hoping you can take me through the steps one by one... Because looking at it on my buddy's mapper (fully licensed)... seems to be quite a few "loops" and "led"s to choose from! lol!

Thanks for the help.
 
do you have the ns6 or a different controller?
 
I have the NS6. first midi controller. really never used software to dj before... lovin' the possibilities though! :)
 
I went a little more. I wanted to be able to reposition the loop, and resize it with the wheel.

LOOP_IN holding 1500ms ? wheel_mode "loop_move" : var "shift_loop" ? loop_half : loop_in

LOOP_OUT holding 1500ms ? wheel_mode "loop_out" :var "shift_loop" ? loop : loop_out & wheel_mode "jog"

RELOOP holding 1500ms ? wheel_mode "jog" : var "shift_loop" ? loop_double : reloop_exit


LED_LOOP_IN var "shift_loop" ? on : wheel_mode "loop_move" ? blink 400ms : loop ? blink : loop_in

LED_LOOP_OUT var "shift_loop" ? on : wheel_mode 'loop_out' ? blink 400ms : loop ? blink : loop_out


This also let's me return to jog mode on the wheel. I have a MixTrack Pro, but it should work the same.
