Then this update is useless to me 
So sad

Setting Active Loops on hardware requires physical parameter buttons.
Still you can use active loops on the Prime Go⌠these can be created in Engine DJ Desktop by right-clicking on a saved loop button and selecting âActive Loopâ

Yeah but I like to set my cue points and loops while I am playing, not while I am sitting in front of a computer. At least they could have added an option to do it from the screen, in the case that the required physical buttons are not in the harwdware such as the Prime GO

Probably something will be changed in subsequent versions, considering the advice and problems encountered by users.
Hope so, although i lost my faith many time agođ

Shift + Loop encoder push to activate/deactivate âactive loopsâ.
Simple⌠

Ok, and how do you select WHICH of the 8 loops you want to become an active loop? You should press SHIFT with one hand, the Loop encoder with the other hand, and the Loop Pad button with which hand do you press it? 
Dear all,
I updated my P4 yesterday and I was really happy that this function is working properly.
Following this thread, I think you talk about different gears, so let me describe my procedure, after reading the ânewsâ regarding the update:
And I only can describe for the Prime 4.
You have to distinguish between
- creating a NEW Loop
- or changing an existing loop into an active loop
If you want to create a new loop, press the loop decoder in / out whatever you want (pls. be so kind as to have a look in to the manual item 45 / 46).
Such kind of loops should work with immediate effect and you can alter them with the tools available on the gear.
If you like this loop, you can save it as follows:
press âLOOPâ (41) and then touch a free Pad (39)
"LOOP" (41) must be always switched on, when you amend / improve your loops 
then the loop will be saved to use it later again
changing this loop to an active loop, pls proceed as follows:
touch the left switch <â (44) and simultaneously the pad, where you just have saved the loop. This procedees for existing loops as well and it will be shown on the touchscreen like a zebra pattern.
Now the loop will start automatically when you play your track and reaching the commencing point.
To deactivate the loop, touch 44 and the pad again, and the loop must be activated by hand again.
You can activate and deactivate as often as you like
I hope, this description will help you a little bit, but pls. be aware Iâm mixing on a P4.
Have some fun, when you will test it.
Brgds

Select a loop (Pad 1~8) and then use shift + loop encoder pushâŚ

If you have to press SHIFT + Loop Encoder + Loop pad, you have to have three hands to do this: these three buttons are far apart.
I think we have to look at Traktor for some ideas and consider that we must be able to activate/deactivate the âauto-loopâ feature on a gear.
First, we can use the âshift + loop encoder pushâ to switch on or off the âauto-loopâ feature.
If it is âonâ, a loop marked as âactiveâ is automaticaly played as a loop when the playhead enter the begining of this loop.
If it is âoffâ, nothing happen automaticaly when entering a loop even if it is marked as âactiveâ.
Second, when we create a loop, we can use a âlong pressâ (2 or 3 sec) on the corresponding pad to mark/unmark this loop as âactiveâ.
All of this can be done with just one hand

this does not seem to work for me⌠from my understanding the loop should get a stripy pattern on it when it is active?
when you say âloop encoderâ you mean the knob labelled âAUTO LOOPâ on the PRIME GO? hitting shift and pushing this does nothing on my PRIME GO with v2.2 loaded while in a loop (or not in a loop)
Itâs not working for you because itâs just an idea on how could be implemented, but it is not implemented sadly

Doesnât the Prime Go have a touch screen? Tap & hold (for 2s) the loop on the main display â activate / deactivate loop could be a solution.

Yes, i mean the âAUTO LOOPâ encoder. Sorry, iâm coming from Traktor
Yes we can use the touch screen but i prefer physical controls if it is possible. Itâs easier and faster.

brilliant!!! pressing buttons 34 and 44 with one hand is easy, and with the other hand you press the pad to save the loop, I donât need 3 hands, fantastic!!!
This is a bit confusing 
is it possible to save a loop as an Active Loop on the Prime Go or not? So it automatically loads and loops on the end of a song, for example.
Im doing it from the Engine software, so it worksâŚbut like a previous poster said, its handy to do this stuff when you are mixing.
got my awnser from a Youtube commentâŚ
its not possible to create Active Loops (loops that automatical engage when loading a track on player, for example like a safety loop that plays in the end of a song).
On the Prime Go, you have to do this in Engine DJ Software, which is easy to do.
