I am modifying my hotcues pad page. I figured out how to set the cue_color when I set the hotcue. Now I want to set a saved loop point.
In the pad edit I am using:
And then when I hold shift:
Deleting the cue_color may not be necessary. I have not verified.
What I would like to do is set it as a saved loop with an 8 beat count. I believe the action is saved_loop. But, I can't get the syntax right. I would also like to be able to delete the loop when I use the shift pad.
In the pad edit I am using:
hot_cue 1 & cue_color 1 'cyan'
And then when I hold shift:
delete_cue 1 & cue_color 1 'none'
Deleting the cue_color may not be necessary. I have not verified.

loop 8 & loop_save X & loop off
will save a 8 beats loop at the current position.
X is the slot number, but you can skip this if you only need to save 1 loop per track.
Is that all you want or make the same position act both as a Hotcue and at the same time trigger the loop ?
Check the CueLoop Pad page too. You could use something like ...
loop_select 8 & cue_loop X

Thank you for your response, I appreciate it.
In the past I was setting hotcue's that represent the same kind of thing across multiple songs. hotcue 1, pad 1 being the beginning of a song for example. hotcue 8 pad 8 being the last word of a song. I would then open the POI editor and color them to their meaning. Also, when I would load a track with cue points, I would know if they were mine by the repetitive color locations I would also set a certain cue/color as a saved loop. I don't want an automatic loop that engages every time the track plays. I want it just when I press that cue button. So, when I edit cue 2 in the POI, I set the color orange, change the type from Hotcue to saved loop, and the point option to 8 beats.
Opening the editor took a lot of time. I wanted to just load a new track, position the track, press a pad, and move on. If I messed up, I want to be able to shift-pad and erase all that was associated with that pad.
