Good day, everyone. First of all, i can't understand what's the difference between "pitchlock" and "beatlock", exept the moment, that "pitchlock" are reset each time when i load next song with big difference in bpm and it makes it unusable in my opinion. Second questions - why "beatlock" reset each time i shudown VDJ?
Third questions - why is it all so complicated? E.g. in Recordbox, "beatlock" functions turn on automatically each time i press sync button. Its VERY simple and VERY useable. For example: there is playing track on deck 1 with bpm 120, i'm loading track to deck 2 with bpm 130. If I still not press "sync" button, I can shift my pitch on second track whatever I want, it doesn't affect pitch on the first deck. BUT, if i press "sync" on the second deck, bpm for second track is setting for 120, and "beatlock" is automatically "ON" and its great, because now i can make loop on the second track and then i'm starting to move my pitch on the first deck little by little to 130 bpm, to get original bpm of the second track when it finally starts to play. After all, when i load the new track in deck 1, I can change my pitch on this deck again without any affect on deck 2, untill i press sync button. Its VERY simple. In VDJ i need turn off and on beatlock manually each time for the same result. May be i missed some options there. I've read a lot of topics here about "pitchlock, beatlock etc., but i still have this question. And just for clarity, i use "sync" button mostly just for matching BPM of the other deck.
P.s. In other words, I need script for automatically turn on "beatlock" function when I press "sync" and turn it off then I load next track

You don't need beatlock if your bpms are matched and pitch sliders are locked.
After the sync command you need to turn pitch_lock on, then also on the same button include a repeat_start script @100ms to query "action_deck 1 ? do deck 2 load_pulse query : do deck 1 load_pulse query") if true do nothing, when false turn pitch_lock off and repeat_stop the querying script.
Have a go yourself. I've given you the all the verbs in the right order, look them up, put together a script and if it doesn't work I'll help you out.

Actually it's pretty bad because you have a hard time getting out of it again without pitch jumping (at least on Serato), and continue mixing in other BPMs
For that reason VDJ has 5 levels of Sync - some are like the others - most are better.
So in VDJ you can basically do everything "the others" can - but better
