Topic: Mapping a Ecler nuo4

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

Since the person that posted that mapper referred to the Ecler utility ... you might want to look at the documentation for your Ecler. That first step is not a VirtualDJ specific step.

OK I got past the first part but I had to go back to using 5.2 which isn't bad but the reason I did is because when I went into the Mapper(6.0.5) I was not able to scroll up and down, only down. So I grabbed my other laptop which is running 5.2 and went into that mapper. There I got my mixer to control everything but I lost the timecode response that I had with 6.0.5!! I can spin a record but when it comes to this tech stuff I'm LOST. So what I'm asking is "Can someone explain to me how to write a map, IN LAYMENS TERMS??" I think if I was showed the basics I could figure it out. Also I noticed that some of the commands are not wrote the same way between the 2 versions?? I tried to copy the commands as they were wrote in 5.2 into 6.0.5 but when it came to things like "Scrolling in the Browser" it just wouldnt work. Any help here would be GREAT and please keep it in LAYMENS TERMS please.
The main thing I can't get to work are the "Rotary Knobs", I can make them go 1 way but not the other.

Thanks for your time.
 
If the rotary knobs are endless encoders (No min/max stopping point like an EQ knob), then ideally a controller definition file need to be created for them to work correctly: http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/ControllerDefinitionMIDI.html

Simple MIDI wrapper only supports basic MIDI such as buttons, sliders and knobs with a min/max stopping point.

Jogwheels, endless encoders, LED's and other more advanced features require a definition file to describe to VDJ how they function.

However, you may be able to get the endless encoder to work without creating a definition by using the following:

param_greater 50% ? browser_scroll +1 : browser_scroll -1
 
OK I have gotten everything mapped out that I want except, how do I map out the ability to select the loop (2,4,8,16,etc.) while in a loop?? Hope that makes sense??

Let me start over. I'm using an Endless Rotory Knob which I want to use to select the loop length, 2nd I want to be able to push the same knob to activate the loop length I selected. The knob has 2 functions, a rotory knob and a button. Hope that makes more sense, lol!

Thanks for all your help thus far!!!

After looking at previous post would I do it like this: param_greater 50% ? loop _select +1 : loop_select -1

OK I'm back and yes that worked!!! Yay for me!! Lmao!! So when using an Endless Rotory Knob you always use param_greater 50%??

And again Thanks for all the help and advice!!
 
Yes, without a definition file you would use param_greater 50% for an endless encoder knob - Most min/max MIDI knobs send a value between 0-127 to indicate their absolute position. An endless encoder normally continuously sends values >63 (50%) for right movement and <64 for left movement.

For loops, you can use the following to select loop length when inactive and double/half when active:

param_greater 50% ? loop ? loop_double : loop _select +1 : loop ? loop_half : loop_select -1

Assign the button push to the following to turn the loop on/off:

loop
 
OK I'm back, got a laptop that can handle mixin videos and its truely badass, I'm having a ton of fun with this!! Anyways I was wondering if there is a way to "Reverse" the video crossfader? I have it mapped to my mixer but when I scratch on 1 side I have to do it Hamster style. Heres where the problem is, when I hit the switch on my mixer it doesnt work in the program so I was wondering if I could map a button that I could hit and the video fader would be reversed aswell.

As always thanks for your help!!
 
Ok I've been trying to figure out the whole mapping of a "hamster switch for the video crossfader" and I'm starting to think that this can not be done?? Or I've got the wording typed in wrong??
 
 
Ok, so for the last 4 days, no bull_hit, I've been tryin to figure out how to script out video effect macros. Well tonight I did it!!! Searched and searched and searched and found this, http://www.fr.virtualdj.com/forums/111826/Hardware_Technical_Support/two_effects_become_one_.html. I had to see how it was writen before because I didnt understand the wiki (not tech savy AT ALL). Ya for me!! lmfao!! Anyways heres my problem, I can map them out to buttons but I cant get them to work with the faders for the life of me.
Heres 1 that I tried and failed at, "video_fx_select "PictureRotation" & video_fx & video_fx_select "VideoCube" & video_fx". Can this even be done with a fader? It seems like it just cant activate. Any info on that would be great.

Next I have noticed that some effects (video and audio) have more then 1 or 2 ways to adjust the sound,speed, or look. Is there a way to link them up? Say if it had 4 adjustments, link 2 together on 1 fader or knob then the next 2 on another fader or knob? Hope that make s sense and again any info would be great.

Hey thanks for looking and your time
