Topic: Instant Hotcue

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

V7, Denon 3900; Currently when the platter is stationary and I press a hotcue button, the platter takes about a second to ramp up to full speed (similar to a standard turntable).
If instead when the platter is stationary and I press the cue button, the track instantly starts without any ramp up time (this is what I would consider a ‘true’ hotstart), but the platter does not spin. In order to keep the track playing, while holding down the cue button, I have to press the play button at the same time. The platter will then spin and I can let go of the cue button.

Is there a way to change the coding for the 3900 to enable a hotcue button to instantly start the track with no ramp up time (similar to the cue button), and also starts the platter rotating?

Thanks in advance.

How about rescripting the hotcue buttons

hotcue X & play ? nothing : play

I'm not sure
 
No luck, I tried that code already. It will still have the unwanted ramp up time.
 
ok options,

What are your config>controllers> motorWheel settings there are 3 I see.
InstantPlay looks important.
 
Thanks Loco, I'm at work now. I'll check back and let you know.
 
Thanks for your help Locodog.
Your suggestion solved my problem. I used the 'motorwheel_instant_play' command which I placed on my hotcue buttons and also for my motorized platter. It worked fine.
Thanks again.
 
motorwheel_instant_play is a "global" command/toggle
You don't have to use it all the time.
Just map a button (on controller or keyboard) to switch it on/off according to your needs.
 
Thanks for the info George.
Using one button, will toggling on 'motorwheel_instant_play' affect both the hotcue buttons as well as the initial startup platter rotation so there is no ramp up time?
Since it's a global command, can I use it in the XML as an INT if I want it active all the time?
Thanks in advance.
 
Yes, it will affect both.
Also it affects all connected decks at the same time
Finally yes, you can put it on <INIT /> on your mapper if you wish to have it permanently on
 
Is there a way to make 'motorwheel_instant_play' only button specific and not a global command? I would like to use it only for my platter (play/pause button) and not affect the hotcue buttons.
Thanks again.
 
Ok so we need the "instant_play" on from the start (for the platter) but we need it off for a button press.

Just turn it off with the button press, then let whatever the button press script did, and turn the instant_play back on, all in one script.
 
OK, thanks Locodog but I need a bit more help with your explanation. I'm a bit confused with the turning on/turning off action you described.
I now notice that when I use motorwheel_instant_start command, if I immediately try and hold the disc after I press play (or a hotstart button), instead of the music stopping, it continues playing for about two seconds before it responds to my disc hold (music stops). The Wiki does mention that you can't hold the platter when pressing the instant start command.
I do not want this 'music to continue playing when I immediately hold the platter' action with the hotstart buttons, but only with the play/pause button.
Please give me an example of the script that would accomplish this action.
Thanks again for your help.
