s4mk3 - s8 - no loop recording function?

djvalerieblove

Aloha - I am thinking of upgrading from the s4mk2. I don't see the loop recording feature on the newer s4mk3 or on the s8 ? Is that correct or am I missing something? I use it to record vocals then drop them on the F1 thanks!

Unfortunately, that is correct. They have many great features, but the Loop Recorder isn’t one of them.

However, they can be added through the controller manager and assigned to whatever button you want to :)

You can check my mapping for S4 mk3 here: https://maps.djtechtools.com/mappings/9325

It supports Loop Recorder functions via the Shift layer.

Stevans mapping is the dogs danglies btw. I used it all the time when I had my s4

I know some people don't like to use the keyboard, but I have a few very fast things mapped to my keyboard. The loop recorder would be an easy one to map.

And the visual of the loop recorder would be on the screen.

Thanks guys - super helpful! On a side note - anyone use the F1 with Ableton as a midi controller for drum pads?

That should be fairly easy, got any questions?
