Hi all,

I made a few buttons that seem to be performing well (at least in the situation I'm using them for) and I'd like to post this one first:

This is a standalone custom button for those who don't use their mixing console hardware very much. What it generally does is it mixes the left source or right source after dropping loop timing then uses a lower volume explosion. This most likely is not made for mixing experts and users who mainly use their hardware. I designed it for myself who mostly do outdoor mobile parties where my mixing board is slid inside my roadcase to protect it from the outdoor elements. With that being said I use automix most of the time and this button will probably make it easier for me to do an alternative automix during dance segments.

For best effect the first cue point is best set for the next song ahead of time. It's more geared to dance music with a decent beat.

Instructions:
1) Set cue point 1 to a point in the upcoming song where a beat is happening (Let's say that is song B)
2) On the opposite deck with song A playing, click the button with the below code which will end the current song A and start song B.

sampler_bank 1 & 
sampler_play_stop 3 & 
sampler_volume_master 50% & 
deck right select & 
effect_active "flanger" off & 
play_pause & 
deck right loop 8 & 
auto_crossfade 0% & 
deck left select


Note that it does set the previous song to a loop 8 which can be removed in the code. I might change that on my live gig in the future but right now my thought is that I might want to return to the same loop again after playing the new song.
 
Warnings about the previous script:
It's my thought that anyone using virtual for longer than a few weeks will understand that mixing songs too far apart in bpm are not recommended for this type of button unless it's modified.

Adding pitch_reset to the end of each if condition will reset each songs pitch back to 0%
 
 
@Svenino it's just

browser_scroll +/- 1
 
Hello Locodoc, but it isn´t.
This would be TOO EASY.
Its not about to move the cursor position, but the visible position.

I made a script to jump to a specific folder (have many of them).
(browser_gotofolder 'karaoke' ...)
Now it may be that this folder is very downstairs and the subfolders are not visible.
So I have to move the slider up above to see the (sub)folder(s).
But I want this to automate like:

browser_gotofolder 'karaoke' AND move it to the top of the screen...
Maybe the screenshots (link upstairs) do make clear, what I need...
 
visual pos is based on scroll pos, try scroll down 20 & scroll up 10
 

Sooo Loco Im trying to use the info/sideview area to have a list of compatible songs to the songs on deck.
Ive created a filter titled Immediate compatible with this script.
"Bpm Difference < 5 and Key Difference < 1 and Grouping contains Hot"
this is ok but I wanna have more criteria. Like I use the grouping field as a way to create my DJ library. it is something like.... "year/genre/Hot" So I want a criteria that says the grouping area entries must match. Now grouping area can have multiple entries, each entry is separated with a comma.
Is this doable?

Thanks Locodoc, You brought me to this little trick, wich does the job:

browser_gotofolder "SCHLAGER" & browser_scroll +16 & browser_scroll -16


This brings nearly every selected folder in a toppy position.
Just Folders in "last row" means with less than 16 folders underneath fail this procedure.
So needed folders have to be placed in the beginning of the list.

Hopefully, this picture helps you to understand.
The track on Deck 1 is Grouped as "ClassicRock" but in the immediate compatible list, nothing matches that grouping entry. But if you look at the list of classic rock songs there are matches. So now that I know I can set this filter folder I want to add a criteria that looks for matches in the Grouping field.
 
user made sidelists filters don't update live, they're only true when created.

I can understand that. But what I noticed is at bottom of sideview is a place to add shortcut to folders. So I decided to have my "Immediate Compatible" Filter Folder as a shortcut. So this script will actually be for a filter folder.

the only fields that update from track on deck are; bpm difference & key difference.
any other field would need a filter writing via plugin, or an unreasonable amount of bruteforce to cover every possibility.
Since you didn't get on with 'sticky', I'd say it's not viable currently.

As it is I have to click on it to update it...and I'm ok with that. I just need the proper script to search the grouping field and collect matches. I have come to understand it doesn't auto update but I'm ok with that.

Hey, I want to change the fontsize of the cuenames in the wave-window of the skin.
They are so small that I can´t read them when I´m performing on stage.
So I have to go to the skinfile and change maybe just a number, but WHERE?



I´m using the haunting pro touch-skin by Alex RDZ96.
Thanks in advance for any help

(I posted the question in the skin-area, but didn´t get any answer. Next Gig on Saturday...)
 
Solved!
In Skinfile there is the panel [panel name="defaultwave4deck"]
there under "Cue" the font can be changed or resized.
 
Hi! Why not yet add by VirtualDj team scripts about see in a monitor sample time remaining or sample time elapsed, when a sample is playing? i can see only with script sampler_position a sort of “time passage” when a sample is playing :( is there another solution??
thanks
 
Is it possible to select a deck by using value of variable?

What I want to do is to select "previous" deck. Here's a naive version
get_deck 1 ? deck 4 select : get_deck 2 ? deck 1 select : get_deck 3 ? deck 2 select : deck 3 select
 
Hi, I'll try here.
In the variable I have the text (name of the effect)
set_var 'DeckColorSelect' "Echo"

How do I change the colorfx effect with this variable?
filter_selectcolorfx '`get_text "ColorFXSelect"`'

doesn't work.

It is very impractical to do that
var_equal 'ColorFXSelect' '`get_text "Cut"`' ?
     filter_selectcolorfx "Cut" :
     var_equal 'ColorFXSelect' `get_text "Echo"` ?
        .......
