Question about the Pioneer SX2 with Virtual DJ 8. When pressing the Roll pads, the music continues under the roll. Is there mapping to make the song loop instead? To me it would be easier than using the loop feature.

Loops are there as well.

SHIFT+PADS in Roll mode provide Quick Loops

Then I have to press auto loop to stop it. I don't want to have to take that extra step.

So you want temporary loops (released when Pad is released)
In that case you will need to change the actions of the Pads.
Example : Change the Loop Rolls to temporary Quick Loops.
Open the Mapping XML file you will find in /Mappers folder with a Text Editor. In case you use the default one and no mapping file for the SX2 exists in that folder, simply change something in the default in order a custom to be generated (dont forget to re-edit with the correct action).

with ...
and for the LEDS..
