Hello experts,
I'm using sf2 and vst for midi instruments tracks
i know how to make loops in piano roll and song editor but when playing song editor timeline loop
my piano roll loop i made doesn't work.
and i would like to loop 3 of my tracks (2 sf2's & 1 vst) for a selected segment across timeline to be repeated for the entire timeline
how can i do that ??
thanks in advance

Copy and paste them with Ctrl-drag on the segments. Alternatively, put them on a beat/bassline editor and loop that.

The segment is 4 seconds and the timeline is about 2 minutes, do you mean i copy paste many times !! and if i changed the segment i delete it then copy paste the new one again ??
i tried to copy the segment into the beat editor but it doesn't work !!
any other straight suggestions guys !!

Don't copy segment into beat editor. Copy the entire instrument track itself using Ctrl-drag. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QKO-UH ... sp=sharing

Using a loop over 2 mins is no 'problem', and there are several ways to make it.
Monospace' way is one. You get one instrument repeated in a Beat&Bass-clip. If you have several instruments, you do it several times.
But
Is your loop 'interesting' enough to last for 2 mins?
That is really why LMMS is not meant to loop melody-lines, instead the idea is that using duplicated song-editor clips, you get the option of making fine subtle variations over the 2 mins.
If you go that way, you do not need to copy the loop in clips of 4 sekds.
You copy paste inside one clip, but in exponential fashion : 4->8->16->32.... secd
Its very simple, and then you have the option to 'fiddle' with notes on 4/ 8/ 16. (your choice) bar over your 2 mins loop.

Hello musikbear,
happy to be with you guys
First you asked

Is your loop 'interesting' enough to last for 2 mins?

the answer
YES, this is a low volume (deep low) background melody with effects
actually they are 3 controlled backgrounds.
2nd
it is NOT very simple to me specially with longer timeline and many loops
3rd
why lmms doesn't sync Piano-Roll loop with Song-Editor loop ??
i guess if there is no such option like that, i would suggest it in the coming version of lmms.
thanx
