Forum: Hardware Technical Support - Topic: Midi Mapping with LCD Screen question

When I add certain command In the VirtualDJ v6 Denon DN-S1200 mapper or the DN-S3700 Is there a way also to map the LCD screen to show the command? example when I use the toggle option Is there a way to make the command show on the LCD screen for a few moment?

Yes, you can use show_text to temporarily display some custom text:

show_text : display the text provided for a limited time (default 3 seconds). '$myvar$' in the text are replaced by the value of myvar. '$?myvar$' are replaced by 'on' or 'off'. '|' goes to new line. syntax: 'show_text "Shift:|Value=$?shift$" 5000ms'

E.g:

Thank you for the answer. What I meant to say Is how to display the different loop length on the LCD?


Another good question while I am at it. Is there a way to program a knob to function as a scroll knob when either the effects or a loop are off, and then acts as a parameter when the loop or the effect action are on?

show_text can only currently show fixed text, but you could do something along the lines of the following:

E.g: For a loop out button (Where loop length can vary):



For a button assigned to a fixed loop length, it's a bit easier:



To adjust effect parameter with a knob only while the effect is active:



(Replace knobs_normal_function with whatever it's currently mapped to.)
