Ok...So i've been DJ-ing for a while now, and despite how good i've gotten, theres just one thing i cant figure out. I'm trying to map my samples to my controller in order to be able to control the samples loop size. I've searched everywhere and that is the one and only function that i am unable to map. Can anyone help me?

I basically tried maping it to my keyboard and it will say/show that it is mapped, yet will not change the sampler loops size. My first sample is "Bongo safri duo". The command is : Sampler "Bongo safri duo" loop 50% <<<I mapped that to my keyboard "C" button. It shows that it is mapped when i scroll over the sampler loop resize yet when i press C, it doesnt change the loop size.

It wont respond to the sample name only the slot number eg.
sampler 1 loop 50%

No worries bro... just so you know, you dont have to specify a slot if you want to change the loop for the sample selected on the skin eg
sampler loop 50%
if you do it that way you should also change your sample play buttons to
sampler 1 play_stop & sampler 1 select
sampler 2 play_stop & sampler 2 select
sampler 3 play_stop & sampler 3 select
etc...
that way you are using only 2 keys saving you 22 if you were to do the whole 12
sampler loop 50%
if you do it that way you should also change your sample play buttons to
sampler 1 play_stop & sampler 1 select
sampler 2 play_stop & sampler 2 select
sampler 3 play_stop & sampler 3 select
etc...

one last thing i forgot to mention. What if i wanted to map the command to be controller with a knob? like for example twisting the knob left decreases the loop size and twisting it right increases.

you can do it with an encoder with
param_smaller 0% ? sampler loop 50% : sampler loop 200%
if you want to do it on an absolute knob you could probably use something like this.
param_equal 0% ? sampler loop 50% : param_smaller 25% ? sampler loop 1 : param_smaller 50% ? sampler loop 2 : param_smaller 75% ? sampler loop 4 : param_smaller 99% ? sampler loop 8 : sampler loop 16
You should register your version of Pro so you can download the sampler manager plugin that allows you to save and load different banks of sampler easily.

I'm not quite figuring this out... "param_equal 0% ? sampler loop 50% : param_smaller 25% ? sampler loop 1 : param_smaller 50% ? sampler loop 2 : param_smaller 75% ? sampler loop 4 : param_smaller 99% ? sampler loop 8 : sampler loop 16" param_equal 0%? << Is asking if the param is 0. whats up with the sampler loop sizes? some are with percentages, and the rest are with numbers ie: 1, 2, 4, 8 etc. if you can just explain to me how the sampler sizes work, i think i can figure out the rest

Basically i need to do this...
Param=0% ? : Sampler size=25%
param under 25%? : sampler size=50%
param under 50%? : sampler size= 1
param under 75%? : sampler size= 2
Param under 99%? sampler size=4
param=100%? : Sampler size=8
^^^^^^^^ thats pretty much what i need but anytime i try writing that as a command just as you did, it ends up not editing the part that i modified. I'tll disregard that part of the command (Due to an error in the command i guess?)

^^^^^^^^^ The 25% sampler loop works, however when its under 25% param it doesnt change to 50% loop size

For some reason it MUST be ON 25% param in order to be 50% loop<<< param_equal 0% ? sampler loop 25% : param_smaller 25% ? sampler loop 50% : param_smaller 50% ? sampler loop 1 : param_smaller 75% ? sampler loop 2 : param_smaller 99% ? sampler loop 4 : sampler loop 8
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ thats what i have

unfortunately you cant specify loop sizes smaller than 1 that is why 0% sends half... basicly if you say "param_smaller 25% ? loop 50%" each click of the knob in the lower 25% will half the size, it doesn't matter which way you turn the knob... maybe request that smaller loop sizes be included in vdj8 in the wishes forum, for now this is the best that can be done.
what we need for it to work is:
sampler loop 0.5
sampler loop 0.25
sampler loop 0.125
sampler loop 0.0625
etc...
