Topic: switching decks

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

i have a vms4 (i know, i know) and i was wondering the phrases i would use in the mapper to assign a button to switch decks? would it be something like "+ switch deck a-deck c"? thanks for the help

ANYBODY!!???
 
This script can be assigned to a button to swap decks:

device_side 'left' ? deck 1 leftdeck ? deck 3 leftdeck : on & deck 1 leftdeck : deck 2 rightdeck ? deck 4 rightdeck : on & deck 2 rightdeck
 
i tried to put it in but it diddnt work (im a little old here lol) so is it all one line? or do i seperate it for each button/side? you may have to walk me through this
 
wow 110 views and only 1 person tried to help?? i love this place lol
 
but how many times did you look at this thread to count the views Vs how many times you tried to get the script to work??? This is a very helpful forum, and to be honest I did see your thread, but thought you would be able to figure it out in about 5 minutes if you tried...

Just paste what is in the grey box into the "action" box of the mapper

device_side 'left' ? deck 1 leftdeck ? deck 3 leftdeck : on & deck 1 leftdeck : deck 2 rightdeck ? deck 4 rightdeck : on & deck 2 rightdeck


You could have also checked the FAQ for the answer
VDJ Wiki -> how do I change the mapping for a button

It is also apparent that your current licence does not allow you to map your controller, as this is only possible in the full version of VDJ Pro.
 
In case your LE version is ver7, then by default SHIFT+PAUSE swaps the decks on each side.
 
@ synthet1c i was joking (hence the lol) so dont get uptight. i tried it quite a few time and it didnt work. so i was hoping to get a step by step thats all. ive been coming to this forum for years fam i really do love it here to be honest it does seem that over the past 2 years there has been a rise of trolls and it used to be if someone had a problem help would come in minutes as opposed to almost half a day. any way to everyone else thank you for your help
 
I've been having a problem with the code, it only works on half the deck. So Deck 1 and 2 will change but 3 and 4 will not. I was thinking it was because the code reads left and so it would only work on the left two decks, but I changed it to Right and I still got nothing. Any ideas?
 
what controller are you using?

the way the script works is

query ? action if true : action if false

device_side 'left' ? left side : right side

device_side 'left' ? deck 1 leftdeck ? deck 3 leftdeck : on & deck 1 leftdeck : deck 2 rightdeck ? deck 4 rightdeck : on & deck 2 rightdeck
 
Will the above actually change the visual look of the interface? I just snagged a Denon MC6000 which I love but, the buttons kinda criss-cross. I can learn to get used to it but, would be awesome if I can have 1 & 2 Decks on the left and 3 & 4 on the right but, more importantly for it to be displayed as so
 
No, this code won't change the visuals on ANY skin and to be honest I don't think there's ANY skin that features deck 1 & 2 on the right side and decks 3 & 4 on the left side...

PS: MC6000 has a hardcoded 4 decks design. In other words when you press the "DECK CHG" button, the controller sends DIFFERENT MIDI messages for the "other" deck. You CAN hack it's behavior to have deck 1+2 on the left and deck 3+4 on the right if you wish. However I believe you'll have to modify a skin by yourself if you want to be able to see such a layout on your screen.
 
Thanks bud..... Def wont be hacking anything Ill just get used to the button assignments.. Thought there may have been an easier way...
 
I think djdad's 'GROM 4 Decks' has the option to display the decks [3 - 1 - 2 - 4] or [1 - 2 - 3 - 4]
