Performance Replacing "Next Song" with Loop

Support
1

Hi, I have shows coming up and Ableset 3 has been running smoothly except I’m running into a major workflow issue where I use loops to transition to the next song. In Performance view on my iPad, I used to be able to have the back arrow, play/pause, loop, and forward arrow all four in a view at once. Now it will only populate to 3 controls at the bottom. Back, Play/Pause, Forward as far as I can tell.

This causes an issue for me where if it catches a loop, it replaces “next song” with the loop icon. My show relies on me being able to hit next while a loop is engaged, and I can only disengage before going to the next song as far as I can tell. I thought I could fix this in settings but checking the loop button in settings instead replaces “next song” entirely. I notice this is not the case however for record button. I unfortunately don’t have time to make a canvas from scratch. Am I missing something or is this a bug perhaps. Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks.

Hey @kbwall,

Yes, this is currently intended behavior.
If you enable the Loop button to be visible in Performance View, it will take the place of the Next Song button at the bottom.

That said, I completely understand the workflow you’re aiming for, and we’ll definitely keep your feedback in mind.

For this kind of custom control setup, Canvas is the way to go.

I’m sharing a very basic template that includes those controls, so you can still access everything you need during your show:
Performance View (Rough, 5 button controls).json (6.5 KB)

You can of course tweak and expand it to better match your setup.

Hope that helps!
