You mean the Loop encoder knob? That still works.
Parameter buttons indeed don’t, when in manual loop mode.
Yes. Parameter buttons worked before but due to the use of the parameter button to set active loops they removed it. I used to half or double any loop (manual, auto, saved) with just the parameter buttons in any pad mode. Now it only works when using auto loop pad mode. It works but it is not ideal cause i need to make sure i am in auto loop pad mode.
I didn’t even know that was possible. You learn something new everyday

Two days testing the 2.2 update so far without errors both in the transfer of playlists from Engine and in performance of the Prime 4, the active loops work perfectly, it is somewhat functional, however I think there are things that should already be present in the Prime ecosystem, pad effects, have the ability to rename, delete playlists, tracks, etc… Directly in Prime 4, some time ago it should be possible to configure the effects and that this configuration remains despite selecting different effects, in my opinion that should be the function of shift + parameter, Engine should have a function similar to edit mode of Rekordbox, I think these would be really useful new features and that would put Engine in a competent place compared to other software on the market.

not like the old Denon gear! cfade and relay play were superior 2006-2017 - been asking for this functionality since the beginning of Engine Prime!!!
I also find it funny that Denon DJ made Engine compatible with competitors products, but not their legacy products. I’m finally done transerring (via Lexicon from Tidal/Spotify) and manually creating (from old Denon DJ playlists). So happy to be up to date! NOW…my request is to allow bigger databases and speed up the devices when searching for something specific (sometimes takes a good 5-10 seconds to do that).

Hi guys, I want to ask this question/idea here before I create a new topic.
The crossfader in engine dj only lowers the volume? If this is true, it would be nice if there is a kind of low pass filter (or filter overall) in compare to the fader position supplied to it. (after crossing the half mark)
Iam using it quite a lot to find some cool mashups with new tunes. But in some cases the bass of the background tune messes everything up.
What you guys think about that?
A crossfader is only supposed to affect the volume. That’s “industry standard”. Things like EQ and effects shouldn’t be required in database librarian software. It’s not meant for performance.

Why an crossfader, sync and keylock in a librarian software in the first place? I assume for preparation.
I dont talk about effects and having a filter knob… But lowering the bass or applying a kind of a filter to the background track automaticly would give me a better preview of this current mashup.
Now I have to go really to the hardware and try it out to just check if it sounds ok…
