On the MCX8000 I have to hold the SHIFT key every time I want to manually loop that is so something I hate …Is there any way I can reverse the shift key mode to I don’t have to press 2 keys to manually loop. I use the manual loop a lot and it is very frustrating to hold the SHIF key down every time I need to use it …I just want to be able to press loop IN and OUT and release please tell there is a way I hope you can help THANK YOU

Agreed, this is quite annoying and far from ideal. Surely that’s something that an update could take care of - that is of course if me and edilollo are not in the minority.
