simple question about the loop in arrange.

Post by Rosko » Sat Mar 10, 2007 11:48 pm

Is possible to set the loop length in arrange to lower than 1/4 i can't seem to get it any lower?

And is it possible to half/double the length of it? Without dragging the markers?

Actually, what I want is more control over the loop function. I want to be able to loop the currently playing bar. I want to be able to change the length of the loop (to create breaks etc.) Anyone know who to do this? Maybe I should create a new topic.

loop

oops! i apologize, you were talking about arrange mode. global loop?
i'm obliged to click at least for select a loop then ctrl/cmd+L , ctrl+arrows for extend/resise loop, arrows to moove fixed loop (if brackets selected)
it is a kind of sport:lol:

so, at 480bpm (pulse is 120bpm) (and al little bit further, original120 up to 240), your 1/4 is 1/16 loop! just enough for mr"squarepusher" i presume.

i can also click to type numeric locators (no midi)...

loop,lenght,start...

Post by Stéfanus Vivens » Sun Mar 11, 2007 4:49 pm

i think there is no way to loop less than 1/4 exept tempo method:
1/4=120 , 1/8=240, 1/16=480, 1/32=960 (AB_Live stops 999)

for breaks you can midicontrol* lenght/start of looped clips(selected) then move as you like(also click and type numbers), settings are staying until you select the same clip and modify his lp/strt entries
(AB_Live can record all changes in the arrange window, inclued tempo.)

*maybe verry funky with keyboard assign:)
