Loops in midi file cues

Post by rborsey » Wed Aug 27, 2014 3:17 pm

Would be super to be able to define a loop in a midi file cue. To put this in context I use a parallel midi file to drive the lights to accompany an audio file playback. If the audio file has a loop then I need a rather complicated set of sub-cues in which one midi file plays which includes a repeated section for the loop - this is then stopped when the loop is released and another midi file is auto started. It works but boy is it a pain to set up (and in particular change). I realise that there are inherent risks in looping midi files (with stuck notes etc) but this is the same risk with start and end points. I could live with some practical limit on midi events in the loop if it helps.

Cheers

Richard

As for multiple loops in audio files this too would make my kind of usage (using SCS to play backing tracks for my band) a Whole Lot easier. Anybody else doing the same sort of thing?
