I'm surprised this hasn't been addressed - maybe I just used the wrong search terms trying to find it, but is there a quick and easy way to change the order of the deck channels in the mixer section of the virtual dj 7 - four deck skins?
rather than having decks 1-4 numerically in order across the mixer, I prefer to have them ordered on each side of the crossfader according to their physical location. For example, have the two inner channel faders control the upper decks and the two outers control the lower (or vise versa) Really I want to change the order the physical controls are mapped on my dn-mc6000, and i'm pretty sure this could be done in the controller mapping but then the controller layout wouldn't match the skin visually and I think changing the skin is probably where the real problem is. Does this involve editing the skin/xml, or is there an easier way I'm not aware of?

You can change them in the mapping for the MC6000, e.g: The following would change the order of VOLUME to 3->1->2->4:
action_deck 1 ? deck 3 volume_slider : action_deck 2 ? deck 1 volume_slider : action_deck 3 ? deck 2 volume_slider : deck 4 volume_slider
(You'd need to repeat this for EQ, CUE, etc. replacing each occurence of volume_slider with the appropriate action, e.g: eq_low)
However, for the skin you would need to edit the XML file of the skin itself and change the deck numbers for each appropriate element of mixer section.
action_deck 1 ? deck 3 volume_slider : action_deck 2 ? deck 1 volume_slider : action_deck 3 ? deck 2 volume_slider : deck 4 volume_slider

This is one of many mapping questions to come but is there a way of working the volume faders for ch. 3-4 without having to press the DECK CHG button to change the deck controls to 3.
It seems to be an unnecessary and annoying to have to switch decks just to change volumes and thats not considering all the mess ups that can happen when you forget to do the DECK CHG before messing with the volume fader.

I am working on mapping the MC6000 to 4deck and stock map config as in the PDF from denon.
Meow, what he said works. you have to do action_deck 1...etc I'll post agian, I had to reset my map.
So far I got this:
EX4 LEFT
var '$shift' ? deck left sampler volume : filter
EX4 LEFT BTN
var '$shift' ? deck left sampler play_stop : filter 50%
EX4 RIGHT
var '$shift' ? deck right sampler volume : filter
EX4 RIGHT BTN
var '$shift' ? deck right sampler play_stop : filter 50%
FX1
var '$shift' ? effect 'Long_brake' active : effect 'Djos Special Flanger' active
FX2
var '$shift' ? effect 'backspin' active : effect 'beatgrid' active
KEYLOCK
var '$shift' ? beat_tap : action_deck 1 ? deck 1 key_lock : action_deck 2 ? deck 2 key_lock : action_deck 3 ? deck 3 key_lock : action_deck 4 ? deck 4 key_lock
What is really annoying me is that I can't get the DECK_CHG button to work as it should. I can get it so that it changes deck, but when I am trying to add a SHIFT + DECK_CHG map to change the VDJ panel (play/effect/loop), it doesn't change the deck anymore. its weird. Ive check my code so many times:
Final code (doesnt work)
var '$shift' ? action_deck 1 ? cycle '$mode' 3 & var_equal '$mode' 1 ? skin_pannel "deck1b" on : var_equal '$mode' 2 ? skin_pannel "deck1c" on : skin_pannel "deck1a" on : action_deck 2 ? cycle '$mode' 3 & var_equal '$mode' 1 ? skin_pannel "deck2b" on : var_equal '$mode' 2 ? skin_pannel "deck2c" on : skin_pannel "deck2a" on : action_deck 3 ? cycle '$mode' 3 & var_equal '$mode' 1 ? skin_pannel "deck3b" on : var_equal '$mode' 2 ? skin_pannel "deck3c" on : skin_pannel "deck3a" on : action_deck 4 ? cycle '$mode' 3 & var_equal '$mode' 1 ? skin_pannel "deck4b" on : var_equal '$mode' 2 ? skin_pannel "deck4c" on : skin_pannel "deck4a" on : action_deck 1 ? deck 1 leftdeck : action_deck 2 ? deck 2 rightdeck : action_deck 3 ? deck 3 leftdeck : action_deck 4 ? deck 4 rightdeck
Code to change decks (works)
action_deck 1 ? deck 1 leftdeck : action_deck 2 ? deck 2 rightdeck : action_deck 3 ? deck 3 leftdeck : action_deck 4 ? deck 4 rightdeck
Code to change panel (works)
action_deck 1 ? cycle '$mode' 3 & var_equal '$mode' 1 ? skin_pannel "deck1b" on : var_equal '$mode' 2 ? skin_pannel "deck1c" on : skin_pannel "deck1a" on : action_deck 2 ? cycle '$mode' 3 & var_equal '$mode' 1 ? skin_pannel "deck2b" on : var_equal '$mode' 2 ? skin_pannel "deck2c" on : skin_pannel "deck2a" on : action_deck 3 ? cycle '$mode' 3 & var_equal '$mode' 1 ? skin_pannel "deck3b" on : var_equal '$mode' 2 ? skin_pannel "deck3c" on : skin_pannel "deck3a" on : action_deck 4 ? cycle '$mode' 3 & var_equal '$mode' 1 ? skin_pannel "deck4b" on : var_equal '$mode' 2 ? skin_pannel "deck4c" on : skin_pannel "deck4a" on
Single code for changing panel 1:
cycle '$mode' 3 & var_equal '$mode' 1 ? skin_pannel "deck1b" on : var_equal '$mode' 2 ? skin_pannel "deck1c" on : skin_pannel "deck1a" on

Hi all.. i just buy the new Denon DN MC 6000 yesterday....
I've connect it with Virtual DJ Pro... but:
using the quick guide, the faders are wrong... deck A plays on chanel 2 and deck 3 plays...
pfl... also not working... only works on chanel 3, but only with the volume/fader up...
Can somebody help... i really don't know nothing about this stuff.
Many thanks in advance
