The mixer below is a Denon dn-x1600. It has a dedicated midi section. (4) Endless encoder/push button knobs and (4) push buttons. I would like to map 2 knobs, knob 1 to deck 1, knob 2 to deck 2 to increase and decrease the loop length. Basically, turn the knob left one notch, and it cuts the loop in half, next notch, cuts the loop in half, and when you turn it right, it doubles the loop length. What commands/code is required to make that happen. I know the basics, but can't seem to get that to work. Its almost as if it doesn't know if I'm turning the knob left or right.

Try mapping the knob to the following:
param_greater 0 ? deck 1 loop_double : deck 1 loop_half
If it's inverted, change it to:
param_smaller 0 ? deck 1 loop_double : deck 1 loop_half
Map the knob push to:
deck 1 loop
For the other decks, replace deck 1 in each of the above with the appropriate deck number.
param_greater 0 ? deck 1 loop_double : deck 1 loop_half
If it's inverted, change it to:
param_smaller 0 ? deck 1 loop_double : deck 1 loop_half
Map the knob push to:
deck 1 loop
For the other decks, replace deck 1 in each of the above with the appropriate deck number.

1) I clicked "Key-learn" and turned the knob I wanted to map.
2) It's key appeared in the left window, which is "1-CC80"
3) In the "Action" section I entered "param_greater 0 ? deck 1 loop_double : deck 1 loop_half"
To test, I click OK and started a loop in deck 1. When I turn the knob, the loop doesn't change.
Did I do anything incorrectly?
P.S. The push part works.

Try the following:
param_greater 50% ? deck 1 loop_double : deck 1 loop_half
param_greater 50% ? deck 1 loop_double : deck 1 loop_half

That doesn't work either. I know the knob itself works... because if I assign it to something else, and I turn it left and right, it acts like an on off button.
Any other possibilities? The adjustment of loop length with a knob is one of my most used techniques... I really need it.

Maybe this,
param_greater 50% ? deck 1 loop_select +1 : deck 1 loop_select -1
param_greater 50% ? deck 1 loop_select +1 : deck 1 loop_select -1

Boom! Beatbreaker hits!
It worked!!! I just changed the param_greater to param_smaller!
param_smaller 50% ? deck 1 loop_select +1 : deck 1 loop_select -1
Thank you VERY much! I appreciate it!

Looks like the encoder is inverted..
This should work too, in case you need to go lower then 1/8
param_smaller 50% ? deck 1 loop_double : deck 1 loop_half
