Topic: help with mapping

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

not sure exactly how to map this button the way i want, if its even possible but if i can great, maybe someone can post what i need to have as the string. ok here we go

im wanting to assign a button, while pressed, to adjust the filter in either -1 or -2 increments until i release it, then i want it to go back to 50 (aka middle)

thanks

You can try ..
down ? deck 1 filter -1% : deck 1 filter 50%

it works similar to what i have now:

deck 2 filter 30% active while_pressed

it doesn't slowly drop it down, maybe i need to put something else in there like ms time or something?

thanks for your help

You can try smaller steps..

down ? deck 1 filter -0,5% : deck 1 filter 50%
it works gradually here

i'm assuming you mean -0.5%

either way its not working like im meaning, let me try to explain it better:

im wanting it to step down on its own, like im turning a knob but instead i'm holding the button and it slowly turns the filter down until i let go, then it once i release it goes back to 50%.

your on to something here with the down ? action1 : action2 though, i think i need to maybe adjust action1 if possible, maybe "move" "timestamp"?

let me know what you think if this is possible or not, i'll keep fiddling

thanks again djdad

If you are mapping on a controller then you would need to use the repeat action (Your computer keyboard does this automatically, but MIDI controller buttons do not do this), e.g:

down ? repeat & deck 1 filter -0.5% : deck 1 filter 50%

The delay and speed of the repeat can also be adjusted - Please see http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/VDJscript_verbs.html

^thats what i missing, the "repeat". i knew i was close and that it could be done i just couldnt figure it out.

thanks again guys, good support here!

the repeat is close, when i first press it, it does what i want, i have it set to 0.1ms. except when i lift off the button, it goes to 50% then starts dropping again as if i'm pressing the button down. not sure what need to change or add here

It's a bug in the repeat script unfortunately. It only occurs when you use down or up but that is the only way to do what you want unfortunately. Bob was probably doing it on a computer keyboard which naturally repeats when held.

Try changing it to:

repeat & down ? deck 1 filter -0.5% : deck 1 filter 50%

^that was it thank you so much

only thing, it doesn't seem to go any faster than 1ms so i just had to change it to -5% and +5% to get the filter to move faster. i'd like for it to be faster but i don't want it to skip percentages too much. but this will do

thanks again

There is a limit to how fast it can repeat.

You can specify the delay and repeat times after repeat, e.g:

repeat 200ms 100ms & down ? deck 1 filter -0.5% : deck 1 filter 50%

I would like to know if anyone can give me the code to change the mapping on the cue points so you don't need to hold shift to set them or to activate them? I am running the latest ver of VDJ pro on a N4.
Any help would be appreciated

My problem is that I'm using time code with the hercules rmx, for some reason when I place the needle on the left timecode, the tempo starts dropping by itself...What is going on?

Go to your mappers page & choose your current Cue point setting;
Then hit button assign & click the associated button you want to perform this function

It's called "thread hijacking".
