Hi all,
I have noticed a a script command that i think is really useful "Cue_play" however it takes as a varibale at the end of it as time aka "cue_play 500s". I was just wondering if there was a way to modify this so that it changed to cue_play when another button is pressed aka i want it to play after released if i push the play button while holding down cue.
Help would be much appreciated and sorry if its in the wrong spot.

You can change the time but not required to function. The default is 300ms of hold and the track continues to play. Your example shows 500s which is invalid. As for pressing another button that defeats the whole point of holding the button. We added this action so you don't have to. If you want the Play to happen quicker use like 200ms or maybe 150ms.
Cheers

hmm ok. I can see that functionality but would there be a way to do what i am trying to accomplish as above? It's just i switch betwen using CDJ's and virtual DJ and the cuing mode from CDJ's would be extremly useful to map on VDJ (aka the cue button preview and then contiune to play once the play button is pressed and cue is released.

I know I have seen this request before, and to be honest it confuses me ;-)
Maybe you can give us an example where this would be useful? (I can see it being used on CD players that only had a cue & play/pause buttons)
I'f I'm undertanding your "need" correctly , why dont you try using the "hot cues"?

i understand the functionality hot cues provide however as a multi-platform user... aka i use more then just VDJ when working, sometimes i use CDJ's, the cue mode from a CDJ would be useful to transfer across to my MIDI controller. This would enable others to use my equipment that only use CDJ's for example. Also the way in which myself and a few others close to me mix is we use the cue button to sync the track and then hit play to continue playing, that way if the track isnt sync'd its as easy as releasing the cue button and starting again.
It my seem a little confusing but if anyone has ever used a CDJ they would know the cue mode i am taking about as (in australian clubs) CDJ's are the industry standard.
also by using the cue button rather then hot cues it provides a greater level of control over the music as the music isnt playing, its just being previewed.

From Ludek and JPBoggis:
To make the CUE and PLAY/PAUSE buttons behave how they do on Pioneer CD payers (I.e: Stuttering with CUE and then holding down PLAY simultaneously causes playback to continue once the buttons are released), change their mappings as follows:
CUE = set 'cuedown' while_pressed & var 'playdown' ? set 'playdown' 0 : cue_stop
PLAY = var 'cuedown' ? play & set 'playdown' 1 : play_pause
LED_CUE = cue_stop

Will test tonight see if works.
