CDJ 2000 HID, Halving and Doubling Loops

Hey Mixvibes Community,
So i just switched over from Serato after many years of use. What got me to switch is definitely the new Rekordbox Sync. Which i am thrilled about.

The CDJ 2000 HID integration has been really tight and its acceptable in terms of controllability. I do miss having a bit more info on the LCD screen, but that's okay.

What I want to ask is what is the Command or button for doubling the loops? Halving loops is the same as before, but doubling was to press "OUT" and then "Loop Cutter". However it doesnt work that way with mixvibes, so wondering what everyone has to say about this issue. Greatly Appreciate the help!

Everything that can be displayed is displayed. (Pioneer doesn't give access to the whole screen)

Sorry, you are wrong ;)
Cross HID integration perfectly matches the current CDJ-2000 native behavior (except for some point, that are more handy in a Cross way like hot-cues). To halve a loop, you just have to press the "loop cutter" button while looping and there's no way to double one. Have a try with a CD!

Cheers,

Thanks for the help, I know the function of the loop cutter. When using the CDJ via Rekordbox, I can double a loop by pressing "out" then loop cutter. However it doesnt behave that way anymore.
So it seems there are no "Doubling loop length" options on the CDJ 2000 in HID mode, am i correct?

Yes.
But that's not a matter of HID or not.
Cross HID implementation just follows the CDJ's standalone behavior.
