Some time in the last 2 released versions of DJ Pro the behaviour of loop length has changed/broken. Loading a song with a saved loop of any length, and with the ‘Activate saved loop 1’ option turned on, the loop length is reset to 1. Previously this value used to match the value of whatever loop 1 was saved as, making it convenient to do a ‘halving the loop’ type transition.

Video example: https://youtu.be/aKWSEy82rZA - note loop is saved as 16 beats, but when song is reloaded the length control immediately resets to 1.

Hi @Rob_Grimes, thanks for the details about your setup and the video - this is very helpful! I was able to replicate this on my setup and have forwarded it to the engineering team for further review.

come on man, it’s not the loop length of 1 it’s showing you, it’s showing that loop 1 is activated. The lengh is still the same as you saved it. it’s just the indication is misguiding here. just check it :slight_smile:

Yes the length of the loop starts out as what was saved - but if I hit 1/2x on my controller I expect the saved and active loop to be halved - not suddenly become a 1 beat loop. This is how it used to work before versions around 5.2.7.

I missed that. Never tried to do. If it works like that it’s an issue for sure.
