[MIDI] AutoLoopSelect

[John Wo_O]

ok so if i assign a pad of my lpd8 to that function, it increments the value of the AutoLoop. How do I decrement it? because once it reaches 16, it's stuck.

if i assign a knob, it's not usable: values are skipped, the cursor moves too fast.

I love mixing with Cross but the MIDI learning still frustrates me!

[John Wo_O]

ok I'm going to reply to myself with a little reflection...

the UI shows a + and a - surrounding the different lengths for auto loops so is there a way to access these functions via MIDI? I see these functions exist in the program so it bugs me that I can't assign them via MIDI (or i haven't found out how to do it yet)

MV team, your input would be greatly appreciated

Inc/dec : a value of 1 will increase and a value of -1 will decrease.
What does your command send : note or cc ?

I'm not sure :s

it's a pad, set as an on/off button. is it the equivalent of note? (i'm asking because I can set all pads to CC mode but in my current configuration it's not the case...)

omg i feel so noob

Ok, you're pad shouldn't be on/off, it should be a trigger.

When you want to increment or decrement, you're sending +1 +1 +1 or -1 -1 -1 like an impulse.

You want it to be on when you press
and off on release.

Actually I guess you have set it to :
press : on state
press again : off state

this is why it doesn't work. This will only work to trigger the loop mode on/off not sending values.

I believe you're entirely right.

so i need one pad to send +1 message, set to trigger
and another one to send -1 message, set to trigger as well

I'll take a look tonight after work

[John Wo_O]

it's almost all good except that here is what happens:
pad down -> sends message (-1/+1 depending on the pad)
pad up -> sends same message

so it sends it twice??? (after a brief test... i'm back at fooling with it a bit)

[Support@MixVibes]

This is not an issue : hold the pad while mapping to only act on the pad down message.

[John Wo_O]

I had a feeling it was not an issue but I just couldn't figure the workaround (which kinda makes sense actually)
I think this is the kind of trick that people (esp. noobz like me) will need help with.

anyway, I'll try that tonight and report.

thanks mr. support

You should use the "Inc./Dec. Button" preset when mapping you pad in Cross.
