Does the Mixtrack allow you to set up more that one effect per deck. I like how the Hercules Steel allows for up to 12 different effect per deck.

Yes you can control as many effects as you have.

 
Must say big props to numark with the mixtrack and mixdeck they work flawlessly
 
So how exactky does it work with it having only one button? Does pressing the effect button turn the EQ kill buttons into effects along with the loop buttons or does the effect button basically cycle thru your effects? The reason I ask is because sometimes I like to mix together a flange, reverd and echo simultaneously. Is that possible with the Mixtrack?
 
The effects will remain on until you turn them off, you can toggle between the FX using the rotary.
So you can turn several FX on or off. The FX button turns FX on or off. You can also in Virtual DJ Pro map the EQ kills to become FX on off toggles if you want using the mapping scripts. You could perhaps make a definition which states if the FX buton is pressed it will toggle on off but if it is held it will change the behaviors of the other controls.
 
yo skyfxl....thank you so much for your help! one last thing........... this whole mapping scripts thing.....how exactly is that done and is it something that someone with good experience in mapping would need to do. Or can someone without experience do very easily.
 
dont mean to be a pain in the ass just trying not to regret my purchase.

Why don't you register your software?
 
Because the one that i have i got from my brother and it was on his laptop already and he said he had it registered when i asked him and was signing up on here.
 
Ok I see, anyways here's a link to the list of verbs VDJ uses, http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/VDJscript_verbs.html. For the most part I would say its pretty easy to figure out but when you start getting into macros and such it can get alittle confusing (well for me anyways, lol).

Hope that helps

so there is no regretting the purchase , since there was no purchase .........
 
i meant regreting the purchase of a dj controller that wouldn't perform the way i needed it to.

hey beatbreaker1 thanks a lot bro............it looks complicated but ill give it a try.....trial and error is the way to go.
hopefully by the time I decide to go buy it a map with wat i need will be available......( fingers crossed ) lol

I want to thank all of you that helped answer my questions today....thank you!!!!!!...you guys rock!

Mixtrack pro features a sound interface more details coming soon...
 
Here is my mapping layout for my effects on the MIXTRACK ...

[VIEW/ TICK] [BASS] [MID] [TREBLE]
[EFFECT] (Select) (Control) (Control)

** The notation above corresponds to the effects / EQ layout located on the Numark Mixtrack

Effect # 1 - DELAY - mapped to the [EFFECT] button / utilizes both (Control) knobs {standard effect layout}
Effect # 2 - NOISEBELL - mapped to the (Select) knob / utilizes this same knob to control it and to toggle it on /off since this is also a button

UTILIZES A MAPPED "ALT" KEY ..... (the "SCRATCH" button)
Effect # 3 - FILTER - press and hold "alt" key /mapped to the (Select) knob / utilizes this same knob to control it and to toggle it on /off since this is also a button

UTILIZES A MAPPED "SHIFT" KEY ... (uses both the "VIEW" and "TICK" buttons)
Effect # 4 - BEATGRID - turn on the "shift" key / press [BASS] button
Effect # 5 - OVERLOOP - turn on the "shift" key / press [MID] button
Effect # 6 - GATE - turn on the "shift" key / press [HIGH] button / utilizes both (Control) knobs

Hope this info makes sense ... Licensed Virtual DJ Pro users can PM me for the specific XML mapping modifications for this layout

Also looking for some improvements / suggestions to this as well. :)
 
Just added a 7th effect ...

UTILIZES A MAPPED "SHIFT" KEY ... (uses both the "VIEW" and "TICK" buttons)
Effect # 7 - ECHO DOPPLER - mapped to the [EFFECT] button / utilizes both (Control) knobs {standard effect layout}
 
@Conspired,

I noticed you got all your main effects mapped but see nothing for effect sliders........ Here some script DJDad helped me with to get my jogs to act as "PithcBends, Scratch (acts like vinyl) and last turns my jogs into "Effect Sliders 1 & 2".

Map your scratch button (or whatever free button you want) with this
cycle '$mode' 3 & var_equal '$mode' 0 ? off & deck left vinyl_mode off & deck right vinyl_mode off : var_equal '$mode' 1 ? on & deck left vinyl_mode on & deck right vinyl_mode on : var_equal '$mode' 2 ? blink


and your Jogs with this
var_equal '$mode' 0 ? jogwheel : var_equal '$mode' 1 ? jogwheel :deck left select ? device_side 'left' ? deck left effect slider 1 : deck left effect slider 2 : deck right select ? device_side left ? deck right effect slider 1 : deck right effect slider 2 : var_equal '$mode' 0 ? jogwheel : var_equal '$mode' 1 ? jogwheel

Just food for thought, lol

@ Huey

Actually both effect sliders are there for the DELAY, GATE and ECHO DOPPLER ...

NOISEBELL and OVERLOOP ... I have set to a constant, so I only need to control one effect slider each

FILTER .... is controlled by it's default effect slider

BEATGRID ... doesn't use effect sliders


BUT!!!!!! ... I like the information you presented here and never even thought to go in this direction. So cool ....

Currently I have my jogwheels controlling movement of CGB grids and loop movement (in addition to its default functionality) .... I will wrap my mind around adding your suggestion as well to the Numark Mixtrack.

Thanks as always :)
