beatloop_activate button does not cancel active loop

[Pedro Estrela]

Loops
- loop button: always sets and resets a loop. If a loop is active it should deactivate the current one
- reloop button: this is the one that actually cancels loops

Please add a step by step recipe. What did you do, what is the responds form Mixxx and what should be the responds.

I'm not sure what else there is to say. The first post explains it.

Do you mean the "beatloop_activate" button?
I think it could work to turn it into a "beatloop_toggle" button, that lights up like the "beatloop_x_toggle" buttons.

hey, I just wanted to join in to this discussion since I stumbled upon the very same problem...

I've tried to configure a "beatloop_toggle" button but apparently this option does not seem to exist in Mixxx v2.3.0 (even though the doc claims that there is such an option)

Aside of that I experience the same behaviour as described by the OP... the "beatloop_activate" option does not deactivate an already activated loop (it only shifts the loop to the current playback position)

any chance of getting an actual "beatloop_toggle" option that does the following:

  - if a loop is active, deactivate it
  - if no loop is active, activate a beatloop at the current playback position

thanks!

Yes we were just discussing this recently. Would you like to implement this?

Ah sorry, I forgot someone else had already started working on this.
