How about implementing an instant loop function, which loops automatically the following 4, 8 or 16 bars when pressed.

That would be cool. Along with a 4/8/16 beat grid on the main wav overview.

this would be magically for creative reasons... also, no more extending instrumentals or the like in a wave editor!

I love this idea.

would be ideal. This is possible in Tracktor.

Ye a loop function that works just between cue points would be fairly crappy. Would be much better if it worked like on a cdj so you can do it on the fly without any preperation

I don't wan't to make any advertisement for any other products, but I stumbled over a nice little freeware / shareware program of an idependent programmer.

It's called DJDecks - and it has this function already implemented. It's far not so professional like SSL, but to get an idea how it should work in SSL, it is worth a view.

Search for DJDecks on this forum ... its been out for ages.. and most of us have used it...LOL
Adion the developer even posts over here ocassionaly.

Doesn't support cv2 yet though.

something like the pvdj grabber please!

so that I don't have to buy one

Yeah, really true!

And SSL could be even far superior to the PVDJ, 'cause you could set loops for both decks at the same time independently and mix them also on a battlemixer with just two channels.

You need two PVDJs to do that, and that's a whole lot of money ... ;-)

This function would make SSL the real killer device for all minimal DJs, playing around with millions of different beat snippets...

loops could play in reverse as well

I agree with bush...we need to have loops on the fly!
