With 5.4 you rolled out the following improvement:
Setting Loop Out without a Loop In now creates a loop from Cue Start to Loop Out
Before 5.4 I was able to use “Loop Out/Loop Off” to disable loops. Now with said change the behaviour changed obviously. The main issue here is that there was no dedicated “Loop off” command in the first place and I had to use “Loop Out/Loop Off” as a workaround.
I use that to disable my loops on all decks which is a very convenient function for multideck mixing. In general I’m surprised it’s not there. Please consider adding it. Should be very easy to implement.
Thanks for the suggestion @frgld. You make a good point!. I have forwarded this to the dev team for consideration. In the meantime, please use the blue Vote button at the top left of this page so we can gauge user demand for this feature. Thanks!
Hi again @frgld, actually there is a work around for you. If you set the Action>Auto Loop then expand the Advanced Control Options and set the Control Type>Button and set the Mode>Off.
I tried the iOS workaround suggestion. When I Invert it actually works for me as letting go turns off all loops reliably. The way you wrote it it turns inactive loops on for me. Thank you still as this helped me to find a solution.
Interesting to see you have more modes in macOS, amybe you make them available in iOS as well.
I encountered same problem as original post. I mapped that button to be Loop out/ Double. However, pressing that button without Loop In creates a loop from the beginning of track until the point where Loop Out/Double was hit. However, when a loop is set, the secondary function (Doubling Loop) works fine.
I am using MacOS and my controller is Numark Mixtrack Pro 3.
