Topic: Using iON Discover DJ as effects controller.

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I bought a cheap iON Discover DJ USB midi controller years ago and I decided I want to set it up to control my effects plugins. Here is the idea for what I have...





Now the issues I'm having is..

1. When I release my hand off the jog wheel the effect is still on (I want it to turn off instead.) ***FIGURED IT OUT! "deck active effect_active while_pressed"***
2. When mapping each jog wheel to a knob it seems impossible... I can only pick 1 effect knob and the left jog is for the left deck effect and the right jog is for the right deck effect..

How would I go about getting this to work?

I figured out #1 I used "deck active effect_active while_pressed" inside SCRATCH_TOUCH.

Now trying to figure out #2...

I'm having issues that I can't map each jog wheel to do something different.

So 2 you want the left jog to control, what? the selected deck fx slot 1, fx dial 1? and right jog selected deck, what fx slot ? what fx dial ?

If you want a single control to do two different things depending on which side it was used on, you can use device_side.

For example:

device_side 'left' ? action_for_left : action_for_right


There is also action_deck:

action_deck 1 ? action_for_deck_1 : action_not_for_deck_1
