Loop length stuck at 90%

Post by ishback » Sat Nov 09, 2019 3:46 am

Hi,

I have a loop in a MIDI track after I sliced it from a Sample, and I can't make the loop length 100%, it's max is 90%. What am I missing?
Thanks!

Any chance you can post a screen shot? Tricky to imagine the problem you have. I’ll need to upload it somewhere and post the link tho.

It sounds like you're having the same problem I encountered. It's mapped to the macro control knob, which for some reason is limited to 90%. I had to go through each slice in Simpler, unmap it from that knob (right click loop length and then "unmap from Loop Length"), and then I was able to set it to 100%. Unfortunately though you have to do this for every slice which is a pain.

I really can't figure out why that defaults to 90%, and why it's limited to 90%. Makes no sense to me.

Even weirder: Just discovered that if you un-map then re-map Loop Length to the macro knob it'll go to 100%!

Same problem here.

Anybody has a better workaround than manually updating each mapping from 90 to 100 % ?

Any chance you have an options.txt file?
There's an option named "-AutoAdjustMacroMappingRange" that does what you seem to be experiencing. I thought it looked like a cool option myself, but it's just a pain in the arse.

I have setup no options.txt

Should I set the value of this parameter to something in particular?

I can’t find an official documentation for this parameter. Would you know one?

Thanks for the help!

No, don't add it!
The option is off by default and, believe me, you don't want it.
Options.txt is not officially supported and is generally not needed. Some here might disagree, but I don't think it's worth it when it's not supported.

Here's a workaround:
- click Map
- in Macro Mappings list find Loop Length rows, there you can adjust 90% to 100%
- close the mappings by clicking Map again
