Comment 2 for bug 878549

What's up with this? It has been marked as "In Progress" for over a year.

It should be possible to adjust the length of the loop after it is already in the sample deck. That is, the whole track would be in the sample deck with a loop automatically on it, rather than cutting out the loop.

It would be really awesome if saving a loop could automatically set hot cues at quantized points in the loop, somewhat like Serato Itch's slice mode. The number of hot cues should be configurable to accommodate skins and controllers with different numbers of buttons. For example, a 2x4 grid of buttons, common on many controllers, could be mapped to 8 hotcues on a loop, or 4 hotcues on two different sample decks. So, saving a 4 beat loop with 4 hotcue points would chop it up into quarter notes, or saving it with 8 hotcue points would chop it into eigth notes. Combined with Mixxx's ability to set loops of different numbers of beats, and the ability to change the length of the loop as described above, this could be a very powerful and fun feature for live remixes and mashups.
