PADS are finished

Hotcues


Loops


Slicer


Sampler


As i had mentioned in one of my previous posts, the hard part of the skin was the Pads for one simple reason. Users can assign them to various actions so i needed to find a way to make them easily change.
So what you see in the above images are not graphics. Those are textzones of the xml , so if you wish to modify the skin to make it work the way you have mapped your controller, you dont have to edit the bmp file. All u need to do is to change the action of the button in the skin and the Text of it.
An example

The SLICER PAD 1 in the xml file looks like this...
<button panel="pan1mod2" action="deck 1 get beat_num 1 8 ? on & nothing : deck 1 get beat_num 2 8 ? off & deck 1 goto -1 : deck 1 get beat_num 3 8 ? off & deck 1 goto -2 : deck 1 get beat_num 4 8 ? off & deck 1 goto -3 : deck 1 get beat_num 5 8 ? off & deck 1 goto -4 : deck 1 get beat_num 6 8 ? off & deck 1 goto -5 : deck 1 get beat_num 7 8 ? off & deck 1 goto -6 : deck 1 get beat_num 8 8 ? off & deck 1 goto -7 : off & nothing">
<tooltip>SLICE</tooltip>
<size width="93" height="42"/>
<pos x="83" y="357"/>
<up x="+0" y="+0"/>
<down x="+0" y="+900"/>
<selected x="+0" y="+900"/>
<text dx="5" dy="11" width="83" font="Arial Greek" weight="bold" color="black" size="20" align="center" format="1"/>
</button>

The bold letters in the above example need to be changed in case you need to change the behavior of the specific PAD. (action and format)
You will get help of course in case you ll need it.

For example if you wish that PAD to trgger e.g. the BackSpin Effect the buton will look like
<button panel="pan1mod2" action="deck 1 effect 'Backspin' active">
<tooltip>SLICE</tooltip>
<size width="93" height="42"/>
<pos x="83" y="357"/>
<up x="+0" y="+0"/>
<down x="+0" y="+900"/>
<selected x="+0" y="+900"/>
<text dx="5" dy="11" width="83" font="Arial Greek" weight="bold" color="black" size="20" align="center" format="BACKSPIN"/>
</button>

Skin is going slowly guys.. Still in progress.

Interesting. Because I have changed the HotCues to Effects. And was wondering how this would work.
So my Hot Cue pads look like this...
<map value="HOT1" action="effect &quot;Flanger&quot; active" />
<map value="HOT2" action="effect &quot;dsp_Phaser&quot; active" />
<map value="HOT3" action="goto +1" />
<map value="HOT4" action="goto -1" />
<map value="HOT8" action="beatlock" />
<map value="HOT6" action="effect &quot;EchoDoppler&quot; active" />
<map value="HOT7" action="effect &quot;Beatgrid&quot; active" />
<map value="HOT5" action="effect &quot;Flippin Doubles&quot; active" />

Great work so far, this skin looks like it is going to be amazing.

I bow down in admiration!!

Great job as always.

Hell yeah, preying phantom DJ continues to update the mapper maybe get some of the lighting issues fixed, and finds a way around the microphone over broadcast issue. Skin + those bug fixes = perfect set up!

Will this skin be switchable between 2 and 4 deck and include video (I hope so)
 

Posted Thu 21 Feb 13 @ 10:24 am
Microphone over Broadcast issue? Is'nt that a Pioneer problem? (That was fixed in the latest firmware update 3-4 days ago)

Its easy. But first you need to create around 100 skins :P

Kidding. Dedicate hours on graphics actually, and use the power of VDJ Skin Engine. Thats all.

Decks will have a selectable double view (with/without video preview)



Video and Scratch Mixer will still show VU, PFL, Levels, Gains

Is this a V7 skin ?
Because I can't recall of any way to show the PROGRESS waveform split in half with the current skin engine...

Its ver7. Yes, its graphics. So when you select Colored Waveforms from Options, it will not be displayed as you see it above.
