Topic: Numark N4 - help!!

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hi,

Apologies for the new topic, I'm new to the forum but not to VDJ so sorry if this should have gone in another thread.

I just need some help regarding the Numark N4 please.

I subscribed to Pro Infinity as I want to use it professionally but I'm having an issue looping.

If the track has been paused I can create loops, that's fine

If the track is playing and I press the "loop out" button it takes me back to an earlier part of the track, this is where my issue has come from.

My previous controller I could just press the loop button and it would loop from the point I pressed it for however many beats I wanted.

Is there a way to do this on the N4? Would I have to remap the "loop out" button? If so, how can I do this?

Really appreciate the help guys

The N4 has dedicated Loop In and Loop out buttons to create what we call a "manual" loop, meaning that you have to press Loop In first to set the start of the loop and then press Loop out at the desired position to complete and trigger the loop. Pressing Loop Out while loop is enabled, will turn the loop off.

In case you need to trigger an "auto" loop, in beats defined by the loop half / loop double buttons, then you need to map a button on your controller as .. loop
 

Ah right, thank you!

I was pressing loop out then holding shift and pressing it again to take it up to the desired amount of beats.

Great when the track is paused, not so great when I'm trying to loop during playback.

I'll give it a try, thanks again
 

You can leave the Loop In and Loop Out as they are , and maybe you can re-map the RELOOP button, to trigger the auto Loop.

so something like ..
var '$shift' ? loop_move -100% : loop

and you can SHIFT+LOOP IN and SHIFT+LOOP OUT to half/double the size
 

Thanks for that,

so if I copy that code into the remap option in the settings that should work? otherwise I can just set it to default and try again.

Out of curiosity, the 100%, how many beats will that reloop for? or is that a stupid question that I should know the answer to?

Thanks
