Topic: Griffin Powermate as a video controller for VDJ

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



Here is a description on how you can use the Griffin powermate as a video controller with VDJ. With it you can crossfade video output, activate/deactivate and select FX etc.

First you need my Griffin2vDJ mapper (Info in my blog).

You can assign it to anything you want, but here is the settings i use to controll video with it.


In the Powermate properties application, set:

Rotate Left - Send Key - Q
Rotate Right - Send Key - W
Click & Rotate Left - Send Key - E
Click & Rotate Right - Send Key - R
Click - Send Key - T
Long Click - Send Key - Y


In VDJ, create the following Keyboard ShortCuts:

[CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+Q] video_crossfade(-200)
[CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+W] video_crossfade(+200)
[CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+E] video_select_fx(-1)
[CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+R] video_select_fx(+1)
[CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+T] video_fx
[CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+Y] video_slideshow auto


This will give you the following functionality:

Rotate Left - Crossfade to Deck 1
Rotate Right - Crossfade to Deck 2
Click & Rotate Left - Select prev Fx
Click & Rotate Right - Select next Fx
Click - Activate/Deactivate Fx
Long Click - Enable/disable slideshow

If you prefer to controll the Video Fx fader instead if changing FX, then change the Keyboard shortcuts

[CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+E] video_select_fx(-1)
[CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+R] video_select_fx(+1)

To

[CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+E] video_fx_param(-200)
[CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+R] video_fx_param(+200)


This will give you the following functionality:

Click & Rotate Left - Video Fx fader down
Click & Rotate Right - Video Fx fader Up
 
Where can we find it?
 
Check my blog.

Btw: I use the value 200, but you cand change that to anything you prefer.
 
Thanks mate!
 
 
This sounds pretty neat... seems costly for a volume knob though!

Can this be used to scratch, position cuepoints, and pitchbend the audio, as you can with the platter of a CDJ-1000 or such?
 
You can use it for anything that you can assign a keyboard shortcut to in VDJ. But for scratching , well i wouldn't sell any XP-10 and replace it with.
 
it's simply fanciful!!
