Getting a song to loop?

Post by zerocrossing »

I'm wondering if I set up a song in song mode I can get it to loop. Couldn't find anything in the manual... seems silly if they didn't have this feature.

Not sure what song mode is but if you select your tracks set start and end points then select Set Loop done.
Look up set loop in the man its there.

Actually, Wylie1, I was referring to the o/p and have the same question. Really simple questions like this are always somewhat suspect since they are clearly covered in the man... well, you know.

I think you're confused. This is the BPM general chat forum, no? My current version of DP is 4.5 I think. I'm waiting for them to release a version for Windows 8 before I upgrade. Anyway, I'm using BPM in Live 9 at the moment and I know how to create a clip and loop it with MIDI notes triggering scenes, but I thought there might be a way to do it inside BPM.

I see that makes sense I'm not familiar with BPM at all.

Ah, OK. Odd you're in the BPM General Chat section. :wink:
