Topic: Setting up the RMX effects buttons on VDJ 6.0.1

Questo argomento è obsoleto e potrebbe contenere informazioni obsolete o errate.

Hi all,

I am new to VDJ and was struggling to setup the effects buttons 1-6. After many suggestions, trials and tribulations, i finally found how to set it up without being an expert programmer.
What you do is to hold the button you would like to program for a few seconds and a menu will apppear, choose the effect you'd like to assign by putting a checkmark and there you go.
Continue the same thing for every button on each deck and you are set.Enjoy.

Hope this will help anyone new to this software.

You accomplish the same thing using the RMX skin, by using the mouse and clicking the down arrow on the button's graphic. This gives you the list and you select from it.

cstoll - I have an issue with this part, I use the following mapping comand djc_button 2 while_pressed & set $shift1 while_pressed so that I can adjust my effect sliders with the jog wheels. I also feel that using the "while pressed" is way easier to implement an effect when you don't want the effect on for long.

My problem is that when I hold the button for the effect/adjustment and I let go of the button, this menu pops up. Which is pretty anoying becasue you have to pick an effect or it will remove your current one and replace it with "???". Plus if I was just adjusting it, I expect it to be there later when I intend to use it.

Is there a way to stop that for people in my case? Maybe a registry setting to extend the wait to 10+ sec or so? I see a "DJCButton" rentry there but it is in binary and I would have no idea (for now) what to do with that.
 
down ? djc_button 2 while_pressed & set $shift1 while_pressed : nothing
 
Thanks for the response, but no luck. That command (that I coppied and pasted) seems to ignore the "while_pressed" and the "shift1" part. All it does is turn the button on and off (with no menu) as if it were only "djc_button 2". You press it it turns on, press again and it turns off. I like were it is going though. I will try a few variations but let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks man
 
Any luck?
 
iv just got my rmx today, and upgraded to the vdj 5 software, im aware now after looking a this thread that you can program your buttons 1-6, 4-6 are your effects right, but 1-2 are your loops. can the buttons 1-2 be used as effects too?

and one more thing i dont really like the loop in for button one and the loop out for button 2, is there a way to change it so you can control how many beats you would like to activate?
e.g can i make it so button 1 will activate (4) on the loops, so it can loop by 4 beats?
 
Not on VDJ 5 LE, with VDJ 6 pro, you can either do it with a skin (that you will now have access too) or map it. To the best of my knowledge, you won't be able to select it on the fly from the drop down effect menu.

cstoll, I have had an open ticket for a while on this issue. I figured I would bump this up as your advice (down ? djc_button 2 while_pressed & set $shift1 while_pressed : nothing) unfortunatley did not help my issue. The commad that you gave me actually makes the "while_pressed" part stop working. So I am back to pressing the button to turn on and then again to turn off.

I just want to find a way to stop VDJ from popping the DJC menu up every time I hold an effect button (default mapped with djc_button). It seems like this was intended to be a feature that some people like (see the OP) in VDJ, so that you don't need a skin to set the djc buttons. But in my case (and others who I halve talked to) it causes more harm than good and would like to be able to shut it off.

Is there a way to disable this list from popping up after holding an effect button?
 
how do you make the buttons into loops?

ex: button 1- 2 beat loop
button 2 - 4 beat loop
etc.
 
Sorry, this is not possible in the free limited Console Edition included with the console.

However, if you upgrade to the full VirtualDJ Pro at a considerable discount http://www.virtualdj.com/buy/index.html you can map the buttons to any functions of your own choice, e.g: loop 4 for a 4 beat loop.


For basic instructions on how to add or change a mapping, please see:

Is it also possible to add a command in the drop down box for the djc button's?? If so how do I go about doing that please??

Thanks for your time
Huey
 
Sorry, this is not possible.

If you wish to have a button perform a function that is not listed, you will need to map it to the appropriate VDJscript action (See above.)
